I have a fire pit I got at Walmart a few years back I want to get rid of. Is it worth it to take it to a scrape metal place instead of putting it out to trash? 4951

Scrap steel is sitting at a wholesale rate of 7 to 12 cents per pound right now.You won't get the high end, and likely will fall below the low end selling to a scrapyard. 4951

I don't it weights more than 7 lbs or so. Sounds like it would cost me more in gas to drive it there. Thanks for the info. 4951

@N+T: That's pretty much it. I work at a high end salvage yard and we are processing a "crush" right now. Looking to crush 1000-1200 cars from the older inventory to make room for new. Even at that massive volume we are seeing bout $11 per 100lbs for car bodies. Each stripped car body is worth $175-250 depending on the weight.
