  Took 38lb metal (door nobs and door locks) to Austin Metal & Iron Co LP North HWY 290 location and received $1.08. I am told metal does not worth anything, and it does not worth their time to take my metal to the pill.
  
  For $0.03 per lb, unless you have 1000lbs, I do not think it worth you time to bring it to them. Better put it in city recycle bin and save yourself the time, gas and toll.

  This past week was bulk trash, and as I prepared some large metal items to go out by the curb I remembered that I always have people come by in pickup trucks grabbing the metal items and hauling them away. I figured that they likely take them somewhere to sell, so I investigated to find a nearby scrap yard. Austin Metal & Iron turned out to be near where I work, so I loaded up the metal items into the back of the mini-van and during lunch time drove out to see what was what. The guys working there were nice and helpful and directed me to the right scale where they weighed my items. I got about $20 for the things I brought, which seems pretty worthwhile since I was just going to have them hauled off for nothing. Assuming I spent a gallon or less for the gas to drive out there, I still came out plenty ahead. I can't vouch for the prices, since I've only taken stuff to the one place, but it seemed entirely reasonable to me. I recommend this if you are planning on throwing away heavy metal items.
