what do you do with scrap metal

[wpeng]

I was wondering if you just threw them away in the trash or if there is a particular thing you had to do with them (like with batteries and such).

Throw them in the garbage just like batteries :Q




But seriously you can put metal in the garbage....

recycle, or weld it together for an "OLD SKEWL PC ART PROJECT"

i try to recycle as much as possible...

I rarely throw anything away - and my form of recycling is to toss things into a box - a hodge podge of spare parts that get used on my stuff or selected clients stuff.

Trash for me. I normally keep all hardware, but stuff like scrap metal gets thrown away.

I made this from a piece of scrap metal I found in the trash bin at work:

The steel was already bent, all I had to do was trace the lizards and cut with a handheld plasma cutter.

Use them to build a death-ray in the garage.

Spare parts box.

Quite a few times I've been thankful to find an odd part that I've kept for another project.

If it's not paper, plastic, glass or garbage, I rarely throw out anything. I even still have the knockouts from the case's drivebays. I think that this is because my parents were exactly the opposite, and I had a hardtime keeping them from throwing things out.

Couple as spares in my collection, otherwise garbage

I've got a can where various small items of scrap metal go. Generally any scrap metal in this house gets collected and taken for recycling.

I think I just found the coolest phrase on the whole forums.


OP: I usually just ditch them into the bin.

Plasma cutters are a very nice tool, though a bit tricky if you are not used to them IMO.

Metal should be recycled.
