Almost everything around the house is recyclable. Homeowners, who avidly recycle their garbage and unusable items, get a good price for their junk. Junk includes: air conditioners, bathtubs, aluminum cans, bicycles, microwaves, copper pipes, cast iron, hot water heaters, pots and pans, brass, motors, automotive parts and aluminum steel ladders. Also, cash is a good reason to clean out the yard or garage.

Depending on what type of metal can vary the cost too. There are two different kinds of metal: ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal. Ferrous metal is iron while non-ferrous metal is aluminum and copper. Non-ferrous scrap metal can be sold at a higher price than the ferrous scrap metal. If you don’t know whether you have ferrous or non-ferrous, Marietta Recycling Center can determine the difference by using a magnet.
