On another scrap metal site I saw some people are scrapping carpet pad. A guy was getting .07 - .10 a pound. I looked around me and found a place that will take it for .03 a pound. I figure I would need more than a truck full of it to make it worth it. My wife would just love me stock piling carped pad untill I have enough!

Just called my scrapyard to check what they're paying for what they call shredder iron(things that aren't 100% metal, bicycles etc.) They told me $.04/lb. They usually pay anywhere from .07 - .09/lb.
