Recycle Brake Rotors?
Do brake rotors have scrap value?
I am not positive, but I'm thinking I took some rotors to my metal recycler and he didn't want them. I know I took something down there that he didn't want, but I can't remember what it was -- rotors are the only thing that I would have laying around though ... |

But they don't like to deal with folks that only have a few pounds of metal. I've hauled in rotors and drums along with other parts, but only when there is enough for a trailer load.

Re: Recycle Brake Rotors?
I have read online somewhere that any bit of scrape metal has some
value at the scape yard. thanks Jamie |

That's too bad. Because they will probably just send it to a landfill, they probably aren't set up to recycle iron. Whereas if it goes to a scrap yard, it will get recycle. Jeff |

I have to put recyclable stuff, newspapers, plactics, bottles, etc., into a separate can from my regular trash. We're told that the can gets sorted somewhere and the various materials are separated into piles where they do the most good. Assuming what They say and what They do is the same, my rotors should find their way to a good home. I'll be out a few bucks, but I won't have to buy gas to drive across town to the recycle center. |

The place they would say it is on the website (e.g,. your city or county public works website). However, you can call to have washing machines, hot water heaters, etc., picked up. I imagine they would take rotors, too. I think most recycling places glass, plastic, aluminum, and various types of paper. Jeff |
