Won’t be much, the usual price near me for plain old iron/steel is around $100 (AUD) per tonne. With small amounts like this the main benefits are the fuzzy feeling of recycling rather than creating landfill along with avoiding the cost of paying to dispose of a heavy pile of stuff.
This. We do it in the odd chance we get something cool. And the fuzzy we get from cleaning the rivers near us. Pretty gross how much there is. I’m keeping the wagon wheel.
Might be a couple hundred as OP said this was about half. Around 12 cents a pound where I am last I checked but it varies wildly. I think we are on the routes to the steel yards so we get better prices. Port cities on the ocean offer less for some reason. Steel is really heavy, a cubic foot weighs 480 pounds for instance.
How much is that worth? We talking $100 or $1000?

Not sure how heavy that is or how the condition changes it, but it’s in the ballpart of $0.10 per lb.
So it’s definitely not $1000, and $100 is like half a small car’s weight in steel.
