I have probably ten brake rotors and a catalytic converter to sell...are the scrap metal places paying about the same?

Midwest metals is close to you in Middletown off old Henry area, Stanley gualt pkwy area. Not sure about best price but like I said, it’s close. Other place I know of is off grade lane. Can’t remember the name.

Rotors won’t be worth anything but scrap steel price which is probably 12 bucks a ton. Probably the same with cats.

I always got the best price at River Metals on River Road. I’ve never scraped steel though. Mine was always copper.

If you want 2 more big rotors and calibers their yours. They are in my drive way by the trash cans. Just pick them up.

Doesn’t sound like it’s worth the effort!

This about 40 or 50 pounds of steel.
