Some of those chunks of steel look pretty thick, it’s really heavy, 13 cents a pound last I checked, which was over a decade ago. Depending on where you live. Surprisingly areas on the ocean with ports may offer much lower prices than those in the upper midwest, maybe because the steel manufacturing in the great lakes region.
I took what I thought would be like $50 to $100 worth of cast iron that was hundreds of pounds taking up space in my garage. I got $15. Waste of time imo. Better off putting it out for curbside pickup. It cost more in gas for me to drive down there than they paid me for it.
I’m sure tens of dollars were earned at the scrap yard.

Plus you can get a flat tire from from visiting the yard.
