Guys,
I have already hauled over 4,000 lbs of various kinds of iron, aluminum, and copper wires to the scrap yard for cash, but now I am getting down to the good stuff I suspect. I have a large assortment of chunks of angle iron, steel cable, iron pipe, and maybe some 1/2" bar stock, some rebar (some is bent).
ALL of it is rusted heavily and has all been exposed to elements for like 6 or more years. Some of it is literally buried in my yard and I keep unearthing it.
The scrap yard pays top dollar for "clean" scrap iron in up to 4' lengths...
Is it smarter for me to sell it all or should I find a way to keep it, and how do I clean up the heavy rust, and how do I store it?
Thanks in advance,
David
