    More than likely your local yard will take it........Show them pictures or even better a sample of the material you are looking to sell.......If they can shred it and recover the metal they will more than likely at least pay you something

    That’s what i was thinking because of the metal content but didn’t know if the rubber ratio be to much like a car tire or coax cable if it’s accepted that be a easy pay day cause they ain’t light lol

    if its like convey belting we sell it $25 aud - $50 aud pre meter depending on size, thickness and condition...
    has all kinds of uses, ute / truck non slip matting, wet area walkway, farmers use it to line horse arenas...
    id be selling it online or local and you'll get wayyyyy better than scrap price...

    From that pic, If it was at the curb or a dumpster, I wouldnt take that.

    I've worn out or broken more than a few sets, and seen even more in the dumpsters at job sites. I've never even considered trying to take them to the scrap yard. I seriously doubt a yard would take them at all, much less pay for them.

    (I did have one come apart so badly one time that one of the metal cross pieces fell out onto the ground, so that piece went into the scrap pile...)
