Ohio Scrap Update

What would otherwise be considered junk or scrap can certainly generate cash! As we at Cash 4 Cars Cleveland specialize in being the place to sell a junk car and scrap an old car for cash, we recognize the importance of recycling other scrap outside of automobiles. The Lima News reported on September 11, 2014 in an article by Megan Kennedy, the city of Lima put their scrap out for bid. The details are as follows: “The city of Lima opened bids for 300 tons of scrap steel, scrap iron, copper & brass. We put it out to bid is because we want to look after taxpayer money as much as possible, says Public Works Director Howard Elstro. By going through the bid process, the department is trying to recover the most out of any city asset when it has been disposed of. Scrap metal is accumulated through the utilities department and the public works department. The cache consists of old guardrails, bicycles, fences, signs, sign posts, and old cast iron or copper that has been removed from the ground. The city will then bring in outside bidders to bid on the materials by the pound. B&G Auto Recycling, of Wapakoneta (Ohio), bid 4 cents per pound of steel and iron, $1.65 per pound of brass, $2.75 per pound of copper, and 50 cents per pound of lead. OmniSource bid 11 cents per pound of steel & iron, $1.65 per pound of brass, and $2.51 per pound of copper. City Auditor Randall Bartels said the two companies will split the metals. B&G Auto Recycling will purchase scrap copper, brass and lead, and OmniSource will purchase the remaining iron and steel scrap.” This is an Ohio Scrap Update brought to you locally by Cash for Cars Cleveland.
