I just thought of another place to get rid of old rotors. Ask any
brake shop, they will usually have someone come around to pick them up
on a regular basis.

Metal scrap yards are paying about $190.00 per ton for ferrous metal,
$2.00 a pound for copper, and aluminum is around $.70 cents a pound.
Pricing differs from location. If you have a yard nearby you can scrap
them there.

I discovered that I can not accumulate enough material to make it worth my
while to recycle. I dropped the rotors in my recycle bin long ago, the
people at the dump can either send them on or bury them. Either way, they
have been gone for a long time.
