Re: Recycling bottles for cash
Mauser,
I understand that is not legal under the defacing federal property law, but what about the machines at tourist attractions and theme parks where you put two quarters and a " penny " in the coin holder, then crank the handle and watch through the glass as the mechine flattens your "penny" paper thin, embosses it with a chosen logo or enscription and puts a hole in the top so you can wear it on a necklace?

Re: Recycling bottles for cash
You made me search, that's almost like work. How dare you!
Here's what I found:
Section 331 of Title 18 of the United States code provides criminal penalties for anyone who “fraudulently alters, defaces, mutilates impairs, diminishes, falsifies, scales, or lightens any of the coins coined at the Mints of the United States.” This statute means that you may be violating the law if you change the appearance of the coin and fraudulently represent it to be other than the altered coin that it is. As a matter of policy, the U.S. Mint does not promote coloring, plating or altering U.S. coinage: however, there are no sanctions against such activity absent fraudulent intent.
Anyone here who is more knowledgeable than I am, please enlighten me.
( I may be sitting on more than $50.00 worth of copper here! That could buy me a little bit more ammo!).

Re: Recycling bottles for cash
well i only ask because with inflation the amount of copper in a penny might be wirth more than 1 cent.
Another thing. Titanium is about 7 dollars a pound. The razor blades I use are made of titanium, something to think about if you had ready access to a ton of used razor blades.Last edited by Jackal; November 24th, 2007 at 01:28 PM.

A recycling plant. Check your phone book and make some calls. I would put it on pafoa first if they are in good shape and you can beat retail.
I was wondering myself about the cans frenchy. They can be recycled in certain states, but what about just at a scrap yard because that are made of aluminum? I'll have to call and find out.Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it.

Re: Recycling bottles for cash
Maybe someone can clear this up, but why is lead selling for .60 cents per pound at my local scrap yard and it is listed at 1.30 per pound on the market...http://www.metalprices.com/
?? I understand they need to make a profit but giving me 50 percent of the market value seems like crap. Anyone heard of better prices?Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it.

Re: Recycling bottles for cash
Those razor blades are actually steel with a "titanium coating" which is something like titanium nitride. It reduces wear. There's an insignificant amount of titanium present. An actual titanium razor blade would take a shitty shaving edge.
Someone is going to have to process it. Melting down metals back into their raw form isn't cheap.Last edited by MarcS; December 3rd, 2007 at 12:10 AM.

Re: Recycling bottles for cash
What kind of lead do you have?
If it's pure soft lead, it's worth more to a muzzle loader who makes his own balls/bullets than it is to a scrap yard. If it's linotype lead alloy it's worth a lot more to a shooter who is into casting hard lead handgun bullets with a specific alloy in mind. Wheel weights aren't worth too much because of the cleaning involved, but they do make good bullets for a handgun.
Give more details about what you have and how much of it you have, you might be able to find a local buyer.
