Hi im a Tenant in a Home for 20 years.. my Landlord was a Retired Sears appliance repair man who past away 2 years ago... He hoarded alot of Metal stuff thru the years.. stuff for his trade im sure. he had two back sheds full of nuts,bolts,heating elements, motors, rangetops, stoves, Tools , alot of Magnets(no clue where he got them) saw blades... i mean both sheds were full of this. and the garage has furniture with draws full of metal stuff....i had no clue what metal is what... but the daughter asked if i could find out how she can get rid of it...and maybe make cash on the metals if possible. what are my options? if anyone knows...i have a BMW and hauling this stuff isnt an option...lol

Sometimes larger scrap operations will drop off a dumpster for a % of the metal value.....just make sure the terms are in your favor before committing

Probably the easiest way is to place a classified selling everything as a lot or to find a truck or a trailer, then bring it all to a scrap yard such as Sal's Scrap Metal or Sims Metal in Hunts Point / Bronx. The magnetic stuff is steel / shred, they will weigh it at your arrival and ask you to dump it somewhere in the yard. After that, you return to the scale to calculate the weight difference. After that, bring everything else to smaller scale. That's where you'll get better prices for aluminum, copper, electric motors/wires and ask them (or another customer there) if they can help you to sort stuff since you are not familiar with that domain.

if you know anyone who does scrapping and you trust them, then maybe call them to have a look.
maybe they will be interested in buying it themselves or at least they can tell u whats a fair price that you should get for everything- before you contact any scrap metal yard.
