$1.00/ Pound for Scrap Steel :(

[Bill_C]

I just bought some 3/16 flat HR here in Nashville at Metals Supermart.

Worked out to $1.10 per pound. Granted that was cut to length but that's still outrageous.

Of course, it was STILL cheaper than buying a couple feet of the stuff at Lowes or Home Dept....

But usually I try to buy steel from the scrapyard....

I think you can go to metals supermarket in waterbury and buy the amount of steel you want, cut to length/size for about the same price.

Thanks, indeed I went to a scrap dealer in Waterbury, may be the one you noted. They offered me about 100 pounds of nice 2" square tubing, thick wall for $20 cash, so 20 cents a pound was a deal!

So I guess I just had to look around, doubt that deal will come again though.

Currently making a log holder and I need to weld up so tubing this weekend!

Anybody know of places in northern Maryland or southern PA that sells scrap metal? Looking to purchase some angle, channels, etc. for some projects.

I'm also in Vt, and would like to know of a place where I could buy scrap steel for the prices some of you guys enjoy. If anyone in my neck of the woods knows of a place to pick up steel for a good price, please share. Thanks in advance

There is a place in Hagerstown, MD called "Maryland Metals". They buy scrap and sell new, drops and I believe scrap as well.

There is also a place in Frederick, MD that sells scrap, but I can't remember their name.
