Handy Information
Did you know that you may have a treasure trove of income generating possibilities around your home?
For instance:
- renovating or upgrading kitchens or bathrooms? Note that all the pipes removed from the old installations will be made of copper and the taps will be made of brass. Copper is a highly valuable non ferrous metal ....
- the taps are made of brass, an alloy of copper and zinc and is again a valuable commodity.....
Old toilet systens are also made of brass and all these items will be able to be sold to an authorized scrap metal dealer....
- what about the old kitchen and laundry sinks, yes even the kitchen sinks can be sold owing to the fact that they are made of stainless steel, pack them in the trunk of your car and set off to your local scrap metal depot....
- old hot water services have a copper tank inside them that once removed will weigh between 15 to 30 kilograms and is well worth removing to sell to your local dealer....
- old car batteries are worth packing up and can also be sold to your local dealer (be sure to handle these with care as they are full of acid)...
- has your house been re wired? If so the plastic covered wire can be rolled up or placed in a bag and this commodity has a specific value at your local dealer....
- have you had your steel or tiled roof refurbished or replaced? If so be sure to gather up all the lead flashing material. Lead is a non ferrous metal with a high specific gravity and is very heavy. Recent times has seen lead prices increase many times making it a great item to sell and recycle.
Look around your garage to determine the likelihood of turning old discarded items into ready cash. A handy hint and a good guide to value of metals, is, get hold of a magnet. Check the items your thinking of taking to your local scrap metal dealer and see if the magnet sticks to them, if the magnet does not stick to the metal the more valuable the metal will be, if it sticks, it will be steel and this type of material will require large quantities to worth taking.
If we were to clean up all our garages and properties to responsibly recycle these items, we will not only create an income, but we will help to minimize the amount of mining as we will be recycling our precious natural resources.
