I would like to know if its possible to get paid for recycling scrap metal. I have about 50lbs or so of powder coated steel. Its brand new metal, it is left over from a project I did. The parts are feet and lower structural members for server cabinets.

thanks

As said above. You can take it to a scrap yard but even with 100lbs of metal, You're only going to get around $2.00. I have ALOT of metal at my garage including rotors/transmissions,cats ETC... I am waiting for anyone that wants it to come take it because I have no use for it, And it's not worth it for me to take to the junkyard, Even if it is 500lbs etc..

Scrap yards pay 20-100 per cat!

Yeah, you're not going to get much for 50 lbs worth of scrap metal. I have these people who come around my house looking for scrap metal every now and then and I get them to take all my stuff.
