Rusty Steel

Postby thunter » Tue Feb 01, 2011 12:08 am

I've never taken scrap steel in before and am wondering how much rust is acceptable. I have an old wood stove in the garage that I need to get rid off. It's rusty and I can probably clean it up with a wire brush if need be but why do extra work unless I really have to. ;) I don't want to hall it to the yard and be turned away. :cry: I've got some other rusty pieces of junk laying around as well.

you dont need to worry about rust if youre scrapping iron-they dont care-I do think you might be able to get more for the wood stove on craigslist-people do want those things.

Thanks for the comments. Guess I'll give Craiglist a try first. Glad to hear rust isn't an issue.
