MN Scrapper here, where do you turn in your escrap locally? Have a decent collection piled up.

I've only tried a couple different places (RSI recycling, and recently Lake State Recycling.) If you do a search for 'scrap yards MN' a few more options should come up.

Thanks, I'll give them a shot. Never even considered turning in my escrap at the yard. I'm used to the downtown yards (off Broadway or N 2nd St) where they don't even list prices for boards/fingers.Originally Posted by Caveman

Check their websites or give them a call before you drag the stuff in. Some don't take e-waste at all, some don't pay squat.

Finally a thread I can get into. I go to RSI but as of last Monday they are now Northern Metal. If you want the best prices for your escrap, my vote is for Enviro Chem in Rogers. You get all the prices up front and they are a refinery so they can cut better deals.
The RSI that I usually go to typically are a bunch of goons when it comes to E scrap. The manager came out and weighed my processors and memory. He then gave me a low ball quote for both but then dropped the weights so I was only going to be paid less.
Maybe its better now that they're owned by another company...

Where did you take your escrap to? My yard said my Cu/Al heatsinks were only "breakage". WTF?
I have used Lake States in Elk River and IRT in Monticello

Thanks for the Enviro-Chem heads up!! I'll have to give them a call to check prices for the next load.
Sadly I think I had a similar experience with the same manager you wrote of. Like alot of places, got to figure out who the good workers are and who aren't.
Got .58 a pound downtown for some cast aluminum a couple days ago.

I bounce between two RSI (Now Northern) locations. ONe has no clue about escrap (tried giving me .10/# for mbs) the other will let me drop whole appliances, but take forever to cut a check now and have questionable ethics. I was turning in a load of brass and one worker commented that there was too much copper to consider it yellow brass. I had to explain that Brass is an alloy comprised of copper, nickle or tin. He was like, "what are you talking about? Thats not true.' I told him to show me on the periodic table where brass was and I'd shut up.
Yeah if you or any other local scrappers need a heads up, I got accounts for a bunch of different commodities in the area.

Anyone got any leads on where to take magnetic stainless steel to get stainless steel prices for it? Or any kind of price better then shred prices....
