Scrap Metal Recycling

Scrap metal is everywhere! I bet if you walked outside and look down the street you would see at least 2 aluminum cans. Scraping pop cans and other metals can get you some easy money. A lot of people just throw away money when they throw out pop cans aluminum pie plates, storm doors, down spouts, gutters and many other things that can be recycled for MONEY! What I did was went out, bought a large trash can, then bought a small one for my kitchen. I put the large one in my garage. I told me family to throw anything aluminum into the small trash can. Once it becomes filled I take it out and dump it into the larger trash can. Once that is filled I take it to the scrap yard. There they weigh it and paid you on the spot with cash! Aluminum is around 70 cents per pound, depending on where you live. It takes about 12-15 pop cans to make a pound. When I fill the large trash can I make around 50 bucks. It can't get much easier than that! When I'm driving around I also keep my eyes open for scrap aluminum that people are throwing out. Just think you are also helping to save the environment by recycling. Another metal that has really gone up in price is copper. Scrap yards will also pay you for copper. I collected scrap wires that i find laying around then once I have a lot I put it into a metal trash can and melt all the plastic off the copper that is hidden inside. So here are some easy ways you can make money just be recycling!!
