I take all my junk that I think can be resold to the local agricultural auction and take the worthless junk recyclables to the scrap yard for hard currency.
Last week at the local agricultural auction a pile of fairly worthless looking 6ft long ibeams sold for $650. Why, I have no idea.

So now I'm buying junk like what I see being sold at auction from the scrap yard for 7 cents a pound and dragging to the auction yard and dropping it off.
I guess you could say I'm a professional recycler now.
