Common Items Around Your Home to Sell as Scrap Metal

Broughshire Waste Metals • 11 October 2022

Selling scrap metal is a great way to earn extra money. When you hear about selling scrap metal you probably think of junk, or things that are no longer in use. However, if you need cash fast, you may be surprised at how much scrap metal you may be able to find around your home that you can sell.


Here are some places you can look to find scrap metal around your home.


In the Kitchen

It's probably no surprise that there are a lot of opportunities for selling scrap metal in your kitchen. If you have an old iron skillet, or a stainless steel or copper pan that you haven't used in a while you may want to consider selling it for scrap metal to earn some money.


For example, that old iron pot that your grandmother gave you, that no one has used for years could be a source of money for you if you sell it as scrap metal.


Additionally, If your family regularly drinks from drink cans or you eat canned goods, you can sell the cans as scrap metal as well. These cans are made from aluminium and can be recycled.


Your Living Room

Have you replaced your television recently? Want to get rid of that old radio? Then you have scrap metal on hand that you can sell. Inside the TV or radio, you are likely to find copper. You may find a scrap metal yard that will do a scrap metal pickup for the entire television or radio from you, so you won't have to pull it down to extract the copper.


Whether you sell the whole thing or the copper inside, you will get some cash. You can also do this if you have recently changed your HVAC unit and even your window sidings. Many scrap metal yards also do auto scrap, so if you have an old car you can sell it for scrap metal as well. The opportunities to sell scrap metal are everywhere.



Your Laundry Room

Another place where you may be able to find items that you can sell for scrap metal is in your laundry room. Your old washer and dryer can be taken to the scrap metal yard and you can get some cash from them.


Metal Patio And Garden Furniture

Do you have patio and garden furniture that is rarely used or you don't plan to use again? These are golden opportunities for making extra cash. You can sell this metal furniture very easily. You can remove the seat and backrest and sell the metal frames for money.


Profit from Scrap Metal

There are several ways in which you can use scrap metal that is in and around your home to quickly earn extra cash. Understanding all the scrap metal resources around your home is good, just in case you ever need emergency funding.


If you do need funding, often you will need to look no further than your kitchen, living room, laundry room, and patio to find good opportunities to profit from scrap metal. Once you find the scrap metal, you can Google “metal recycling near me” to find a suitable scrap metal yard, such as Broughshire Waste Metals.
