Most homeowners don't realize they're sitting on significant scrap metal value — especially after renovations, plumbing work, or appliance replacements. Copper alone runs $3–$5 per pound, and it's everywhere.
Copper pipe from a replumb: 20–50 lbs depending on house size = $60–$250 in scrap value. Copper wire from an electrical upgrade: 10–30 lbs = $30–$150. Old copper gutters: potentially hundreds of dollars.
Aluminum siding, window frames, and old lawn equipment contain aluminum worth $0.50–$1.00 per pound. Steel from old appliances, filing cabinets, shelving, and tools has lower per-pound value but adds up in volume.
Brass fixtures, faucets, and valve stems are commonly overlooked. Old brass plumbing fittings can be worth $2–$3 per pound.
