Making Some Extra Money By Scrapping Metal

When times are tough, it can be a challenge to stay on top of all of your bills. It becomes more and more important to find other ways to make money quickly so that you can stay out of debt. There are many ways to make some quick money if you need to cover a bill. But before you decide to pawn off your possessions, we recommend that you look at old scrap metal that you may own. A lot of homeowners think that recycling scrap metal is only for commercial entities or people who own a lot of large or heavy machinery, in fact, there are many types of scrap metal you can find around your home.

Where To Find Scrap Metal In Your Home

There are a variety of places around your home to look for some used scrap metal. Most yards in Massachusetts buy iron, steel, copper, aluminum, and other highly valued metals. Of course one of the most common things to scrap is an old vehicle. Cars, trucks, boats, and any other vehicles can be sold as single objects or piece by piece. If you have a vehicle to scrap check out our guide. Otherwise here are a few places to find scrap around your home.

  • Kitchen Scrap Metal: Old pots, pans, baking sheets, and other metal cookware can be scrapped as well as cutlery that is made out of the correct metal. Just remember that you want to separate ferrous and nonferrous metals and organize your metals into bins. Older appliances also may contain some metal as well as copper wire.
  • Bedrooms & Living Spaces: If you have an old television, lamps, or air conditioners these can be broken down into base parts and scrapped.
  • Outside: Gutters, patio furniture, metal swingsets, and even iron railings can be taken apart and used for scrap metal. You can also scrap different machines with motors like a riding lawnmower.
  • Misc: Check any electronics for copper wire, old metal furniture,  power tools, paint cans, nails, screws, and other small pieces of metal. If you can collect a few pounds lof similar metal together, you can sell it. Many homeowners also scrap old bicycles after they become no longer useful.

Where To Scrap Metal

At Taunton Scrap Metal we believe in helping residents get the best prices for their metals. As we are writing this, we are temporarily closed for the COVID-19 virus, although we recommend that you visit our sister locations Middleboro Recycling and Spiegel Scrap Metal in Brockton.

COVID-19 Business Statement (March 2020)

The novel coronavirus has greatly impacted many businesses throughout the state of Massachusetts. During this time many businesses have been asked to shut down in accordance with safer from home or shelter in place policies. The CDC and the World Health Organization both have made recommendations that social distancing and minimizing public interaction can stop the spread of COVID-19. For this reason, the state of Massachusetts and many surrounding states have applied vigorous policies to limit the gatherings of people in public. For the health of our community and our employees, our scrap yard will be shutting down indefinitely. We will post when we reopen. But we thought it would be best for all concerned to limit our business during this time.

Scrap Metal in Middleboro & Brockton

At this time we would suggest that any clients or residents that would like to recycle metal go to a nearby yard. We recommend the yards in Middleboro & Brockton. We have checked with these yards, and both of them are employing social distancing policies as well as daily sanitation policies. They are both remaining open with some restrictions in place and are good yards to find better prices for your scrap metal. Here is some more info for both yards:

Middleboro:
https://www.middlebororecycling.com/
128 Bedford St, Middleborough, MA 02346
Spiegel:
http://www.spiegelscrapmetal.com/ 
212 N Cary St, Brockton, MA 02302

Future Updates

We intend to reopen as soon as the state of Massachusetts makes recommendations that it is safe for businesses to engage in full service again. We look forward to helping businesses with our rentable dumpsters for scrap metal, as well as working with individuals throughout Bristol County. Our team will always work to provide the best prices in Bristol county that are consistently updated to be as competitive as possible. During this time we will continue to publish articles about some of the tips and tricks we recommend to new scrap metal sellers. We believe that even though we cannot meet in person, we can still continue to serve our community with education and resources. If you have any specific questions about scrap metal recycling or about our yard, please contact us online through our website.
