Better than nothing, but I think I got ripped on the pricing. Should have checked around more first. The business is called Citywide Metal Recycling.

What are "copier drums and fuse rollers"? And what's in them that make them worth scraping?

The fusing section of a copier or printer normally has 2 rollers in them. One of the rollers has a lamp or lamps that run through it and is essentally a hollow alum tube.
The drum is the part that the laser image is written to and is a hollow alum tube also.
Note that both of these are coated - the fuser roller with a "teflon - like" material and the drum with a photo sensitive material so you won't get top price for them but they are alum in most cases.
Hope this helps!

I took our old gas grill, a frying pan and some old rusty chain to the scrap yard on Friday and got $14 for it, 7 cents per pound...not great but better than paying to get rid of the stuff at the landfill!

Bman I hope the lid and top of the grill wasn't cast Aluminum! I found a grill at the curb that had a top of around 30 pounds of aluminum that got $15 just for that!

nah, it was supposed to be stainless steel but it was low grade and a magnet stuck to it, I didn't bother to seperate it.

My friend and I scrapped a bunch of dirty copper and steel from a home foundation excavation he was working on: $160! We ate like kings afterward; ribs and cornbread!
