I was wondering if the yard would buy the anode I believe it's called? It's the thing in the middle of the water heater relief valve it looks like copper or brass it's got white paint or something on it
Number 2 tube?. The valves those are red brass right.

Edit: So actually i would say that they are breakage due to the rod threw the middle is Stainless steel.
The T&P valve can be red brass or yellow brass. Got to scratch them to see what color they are under the finish some have on them. if im not sure, i throw them in the yellow brass and let the yard guys pull them out if they think they are red brass. Best is to ask what the yard guys take them as.

Since we're talking about breakage, are your yards giving a miscellaneous copper or brass breakage rate or are they always trying to sort it in lower value grades (i.e. rotors, transfos, ferrous copper...)?
NEW TO SCRAPPING? READ THIS: Build up your horde of magnetic and non-magnetic metals in two piles until you have a better understanding of the business. Magnetic material has low value and is mostly always steel / shred / short iron. Read old threads about non-magnetic metals and ewaste (and how to sort them), but don't forget that they generally have absolutely no tolerance for contamination (screw / iron / foreign material).

I got them all done that was fun used a sawsall. Also the white thing in the middle at least on the ones I had are copper so would that go as tube num 2 since it's got some kind of white paint or paper on it?.
