Where to dump my used rotors?

Is there a place here in the Bay Area that will pay for the scrap metal? Or just take these rotors of my hands?

I was going to just toss them in the garbage, but maybe there is a green way?

the green way is to keep them at your home as art.

depending how used they are, people will pay dough for them[.

Any metal recycler will take them but your only going to get about 2cents per pound for cast. its just crappy metal.

Now copper, thats like 2$ a pound!!

Anyone have some spare copper laying around i can pick up from them =)

Nah. These at or below the minimum thickness and cannot be turned. At .02 per pound, I could get eleventy billion dollars!


Thanks for the help!

We have a scrap recycler up here that we can bring them to, or I could take them to work to dispose of them.
