Check with cwgii or Hobo Finds. They are both very active recyclers. I recycle too, but not that type of item.
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.

Thanks for letting me know. My co-worker put 2 to the curb and trying to educate that those are worth dropping off at the yard

Yep should be back over 1$ a pound for them clean but I have not gotten any for awhile now. Best price ever for me was like $1.65 but that was years ago...
