Hooked on metal - question on Bed Frames

Just found this forum today. Tore down an old above ground pool and loaded up the aluminum sides and decking. It was good clean stuff and figured I might get 2 or $300 for the metal. They gave me .85 /lb for painted aluminum and I walked out with over $500. Now I am hooked on finding more metal. I am always seeing folks throwing out old bed frames. Are these worth picking up and what kind of metal is that? Any advice on where to find good info on the different types of metals that yards take would be appreciated. Thanks.

They are somewhat worth it, the metal is steel and worth around $0.10/lb. You can visit websites that companies may have and they may the types of metals they buy and for how much. If they don't have a website you can always give them a call and ask what their prices are.

Bed frames are the one item I use plastic gloves to pick up and take straight to the firepit to burn any crap off of it (i.e. bedbugs). You are right, they are everywhere so they add up quickly. So I'd say they are worth it if you can store your steel. Nice job on the pool by the way and welcome to the forums

I pick up every bed frame i can and sell them on CL. I have always had luck getting them sold within a couple of days! I price them from $19.99 to $34.95. Welcome and goodluck...

If they are hollywood bedframes complete, i get $15.00 a set from a buyer at a flea market. He sells them at $25.00 per set...

In reference to my previous post..... I was talking about box springs and spring mattresses...... my apologies.

My yard won't take bed springs because "they get stuck in the shredder machine"
