    Cool Is rusted metal worthy?

    If metal has rust on it, is it still recyclable?

    What if it's "falling apart" rusty?

    Do yards take "bad condition" metal? I would guess it all melts down the same.



    Thanks.. and yes I searched

    Rusted, falling apart it still goes to the yard in my truck. Pays the same as clean unrusted.
    As a driver I'm always sober, but my truck is always ready to get loaded
