Really depends on what you bring. I don't think I've ever taken in a ton at one time. I've taken close to a ton (~1,800 pounds), but I just drive a little Dodge Dakota with a pull-behind flatbed.

Anyway, right now they pay 8 cents a pound for sheet metal. That includes any and all thin steel such as appliances, car bodies, any steel that does not otherwise qualify as #1 or #2. They used to pay 9 and 10 cents for that, but prices have gone down lately.
