Buy & Sell Metal
July 29, 2009 09:44:38 AM
     You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a metal scrap yard that will sell! Just about all the ones I've found around here only buy. Apparently you need a different license for both selling and buying and it just isn't worth it to renew the selling license.
     It wasn't until after fighting with this one lady at a scrap yard who wouldn't give me a single inch of aluminum after driving 30 miles and even calling in first, that I found this out! (So never go to Gray's Scrap Iron & Metal or Auto Parts in LaVergne, they will tell you one thing on the phone and flat out treat you like shit when you get there).
     It all turned out for the best though, I ended up finding a place that both buys and sells, and they have a huge selection. Auto Express Recyclers, also near LaVergne, has a metal division and they have great prices. I was able to pick up 2 arm fulls of aluminum square stock and it only cost me $4! If I bought the same gauge aluminum in this amount at Lowe's, it would have easily been well over $300 as they chage $19.99 for each piece!

     Here are some prices:

          You sell to them:
               tin cans = $0.065 / lb
               soda cans = $0.40 / lb

          You buy from them:
               aluminum = $0.50 / lb
