hoef Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Hello,I took out my wrought iron stair hand rails and they are heavy. Is there a place I can bring them to where they pay me by the pound (ideally in/near loop). It must be worth something.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbarz Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Don't be surprised if you only get one $2 bill because Iron is $0.01 per pound! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innerloop Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 It shouldn't be about the money, it's about recycling and keeping it out of the landfill. Of course if you burn a bunch of gas making a special trip to the scrapyard then it's probably a push from an environmental standpoint.I suggest that you try setting it out on the curb on Saturday morning to see if anybody wants it. Odds are that it'll be out of your hair by the end of the weekend and someone will reuse it for something. And reuse is better than recylced from an environmental standpoint.

sevfiv Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 A place that sells reclaimed items like Historic Houston might take it - it might also be a tax-deductible donation for whatever it may be worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadfroggy Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Everyone should make at least one trip to C & D just for the novelty of the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specwriter Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 A place that sells reclaimed items like Historic Houston might take it - it might also be a tax-deductible donation for whatever it may be worth.Historic Houston's web site: http://www.historichouston.org/The salvage warehouse is at 1307 W. Clay just west of Montrose (very inside the loop). The warehouse is open from 10:00am 'til 4:00pm Wednesday and Saturday. They have some neat stuff there as well as the more mundane (great if you have rent property). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heights2Bastrop Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I used to put out things like that out on the curb a few days before my heavy trash day, and someone with a trailer driving through the area would usually pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
