OK, I am an AG/AU noob from BS but I need some scrapping help. I have tried reading many of the threads but maybe I am too noob to get what I am reading. Let me explain my situation. I bought some rural property that has assorted discarded metallic items I would like to get rid of. Included would be the metal rings that once formed a barrel, an old swing seat, rusty barbed wire, some kind of John Deer object I am not sure what is, an old what looks like a grass mower you would pull behind a tractor, Tbar, corrugated sheet metal, and other objects like that. My primary interest is to get it off the property so it is nicer looking. I was thinking of scrapping to recover the gas cost of getting rid of it. I also have some tires, tractor it looks mostly. It all might fit in the bed of a pickup (maybe not the tires). I was wondering if any of this is worth scrapping and where would I find a scrap buyer? Or should I just haul to the dump and be done with it even though that would be a cost. I bet you folks have got this many times before but I did not find it, sorry about that.

Don't dump it!

Worst case scenario: Your scrap yard is to far and you don't want to hassle with it. Just give it away. Someone will haul it off.

Sounds like a bunch of steel/junk iron. This will bring about 180-240 per ton at this time.

You'll have to do the math.

look in the phone book for a scrap yard near you if its to far do like thogey said have someone haul it off but i wouldnt give it away just sell it at a discount to what the yards are paying.

I wouldn't be so quick to scrap old farm implements. They are worth way more as workers, fixer-uppers, parts, and even yard art. Get someone interested, via CL or the like, and you'll get more than scrap prices and they'll even come pick it up.

Call an auctioneer to evaluate what you have if it contains antiques like that. If theres value above scrap they will set up a sale, advertise it, and sell it for you to the highest bidder for a percentage.

Some of them tractor seats can go for many hundreds or more a piece if they are the right ones.
