Think like a treasure hunter this fall! Could that be aluminum siding peeking out from under the shed? Is that old lawnmower hiding a steel frame? Those rusty tools might be made of valuable metal! Here are some common items we accept:

Aluminum: Cans, siding, window frames, gutters

Copper: Pipes, wiring, tubing

Brass: Fixtures, valves, ornaments

Steel: Appliances, beams, sheet metal

Iron: Cast iron cookware, pipes, fencing
