Metal Recycler

So I've got an old grill, lawn mower, exhaust system, couple of brake rotors, tow bar, bumper, running boars, etc. that I want to get rid of. Is there a metal recycler near the NE side of town? Would it even be worth my time to load all this crap or wait till a city pickup day for this stuff?

Recycling is ALWAYS worth your time

That said, I took a gigantic metal steel thingy to the recyler. It weighed almost 300lbs. They gave me $6 for it. It cost me more in gas to get it there. I slept well though, knowing I did the right thing by Mother Earth.

If you bury it in your yard, the earth will reclaim it in a very short time. That's how I'm going to be buried.

i figured everything here got incinerated since you can't dig down more than 6" before hitting solid rock

back in the ghett-oh in Kali. i couldn't wait for the large item pick-up because I had to close on my house.

When I got lost a week or so ago I did drive by a big recyling center here. They take everything, including household hazardous waste. I think I was on Military by the 410 and Ingraham Mall.
