Richmonders, are you sitting on a potential goldmine without even realizing it? We’re not talking about buried treasure but rather those everyday items cluttering up your garage, basement, or backyard. At Smith Iron & Metal, we believe in turning trash into treasure, and we’re here to reveal some surprising items you can scrap for cash right here in Richmond!

Items You Can Scrap for Cash in Richmond

1. That Old Dishwasher (and other appliances)

Think the best thing you can do with that rusty old dishwasher is throw it out on the next run to the dump? Think again! Appliances contain valuable metals like steel, copper, and aluminum. Even if it’s not working, it still has scrap value. The same goes for old refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, and even microwaves.

2. That Outdated Desktop Computer (and other electronics)

In today’s fast-paced tech world, it’s easy to accumulate outdated electronics. But before you toss that old desktop, laptop, or even that ancient VCR, remember they contain precious metals like gold, silver, and palladium. So, instead of gathering dust, let them earn you some cash!

3. That Rusty Old Bike (and other vehicle parts)

Got a bike that’s seen better days? Or maybe some car parts lying around from that DIY project that never quite got finished? Don’t let them rust away! Bicycles and car parts contain valuable metals like steel and aluminum, which can be recycled and put back into use.

4. Those Aluminum Cans (and other household items)

We all know aluminum cans can be recycled, but did you know they can also be scrapped for cash? And it’s not just cans! Aluminum siding, gutters, window frames, and even lawn chairs can all be turned into quick cash.

5. That Brass Bed Frame (and other brass items)

Brass is a valuable metal often found in unexpected places around the house. Old bed frames, doorknobs, light fixtures, and even some plumbing fixtures can contain brass. So, before you replace those outdated items, consider scrapping them for some extra cash.
