Rounding up some scrap metal can be a great way to make a little extra income. If you can find a fair scrap yard, it’s a winning transaction for both sides. Miamitown Auto Parts & Recycling of Cleves, OH, has developed a reputation as the region’s most trustworthy metal salvage yard. Whether you have old car batteries or any other metal object, the professionals will always give you an honest quote. 

When thinking about selling your scrap metal, the first step is to gather up possible candidates for sale. Go through your house, especially your garage, to browse for appliances and parts you may not have a need for anymore. Dishwashers, car parts, and door knobs are only a few examples of the many items you can look for. Once you’ve gathered all the candidates you can find, assemble them all in one place; usually a garage works well.

Next, you’ll want to sort the different metals using a magnet. When the magnet clings to the object, it means the object is ferrous. Ferrous metals, such as iron and steel, tend to be worth less than non-ferrous metals such as copper and aluminum. If your magnet doesn’t stick to the metal, it means the object is non-ferrous. It’s a good idea to separate them according to type because it’s easier for more expensive metals to get confused with cheaper ones. Store your objects in boxes, and make sure they are out of sight from the street; scrap metals are common targets of theft. 

After you’ve sorted and stored your scrap metal, it’s time to head over to Miamitown Auto Parts & Recycling to make some money. You can speak with a friendly staff member about what the yard accepts by calling (513) 353-1111. Make sure you like them on Facebook for updates, pictures, and videos.
