Consider other equipment like aluminum baseball bats from past baseball leagues. You could even break down an old basketball hoop if you no longer use the hoop. Not only will you clear out a lot of your outdoor areas, but you will also help clear up a lot of space.
Consider other backyard playground equipment like volleyball net poles and metal swing sets. When you bring a whole truckload of metal, the items may process easier and add up to bigger amounts rather than a lot of extra trips.
Scrap metal yards often accept a wide range f batteries; however, e batteries do not generally include disposable ones like AA or AAA batteries. Larger batteries, like ones found in remote control cars or Power Wheels, are often accepted by a variety of scrap metal yards.
Also consider a variety of old devices your child_has left behind. For example, you could take the batteries out of old cell phones or laptops and bring them to a scrap yard. Keep all the batteries in a box or container so the scrap workers have easy access to the batteries.
3. School Items
After completing middle school and high school, a student could have a lot ofjunk left behind. For example, your child may have been part of the school band. Gather any unusable or broken instruments. The brass and other metals found in the instruments may sell as scrap.
Instruments you should consider include flutes, trumpets, trombones, and saxophones. Check for any spare parts or accessories with the instruments you may consider scrapping for cash.
4. Bedroom Items
When your child moves out, their bedroom may have plenty of items ready for the scrap yard. Take a day to go through the room and pull out items which will help you make some extra cash.
For example, lamps could have valuable pieces. Not only are copper and aluminum parts of a lamp ideal for scrap yards but the wires have money values too.
Check for other wires and lights hung around the room too. Older television cables and wired Christmas lights are just a few examples. If the room no longer needs air conditioning, a scrap yard often takes whole air conditioners and breaks down the various metal elements kept inside.
If the bed frame was metal, break down the various pieces and bring them all to the scrap yard. You can use materials like aluminum, steel, and iron to make extra money. Gather all the metal and bring it to the scrap yard for easy sorting.
