How many old, unused items are sitting around your home taking up precious space? If you're not sure what to do with them, you might be surprised to learn which household items local scrap yards willingly accept. This is one of the invaluable services Miamitown Auto Parts & Recycling of Cleves, OH, provides to residents throughout the Tri-State area of Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky.

Some of the household items you can take to the scrap yard include: 

• Pots & Pans: Considering how much we use them over the years, it's no surprise to find old pots and pans showing some considerable wear and tear. Before you part ways with your cookware for good, though, ask your scrap yard if they offer aluminum recycling services. 
• Sinks & Fixtures: Does your bathroom or kitchen have a stainless steel sink? If you're switching it out for a newer model, set the metal fixture aside. Do the same with any brass faucets or handles you may have at home, and you can make some of that cash back at the scrap yard.
• Copper Pipes: Copper is a valuable material, and you may find plenty of it lying around during the average home remodeling project. As far as metal recycling prices go, copper ranks on the higher end of the spectrum, so it's worth saving as much as you can. 
• Lawn Chairs: The old lawn chairs in your backyard may be an eyesore at the moment, but don't throw them away just yet. If they're made of aluminum components, you can swap them for money at a scrap metal recycling center. 
• Motors From Ceiling Fans: Just because your ceiling fan bit the dust doesn't mean it has to be tossed in the dumpster. Most scrap yards are happy to take ceiling fan motors without the blades, and the copper coil within could yield decent cash.

Once you have an idea of the materials that are suitable for metal salvage, you'll realize you're sitting on a wealth of potential cash.
