I am new to scrapping and today I was quite surprised at how my trip to the recycling place went down. I clearly had stainless steel and other steel separated. The guys at the place told me that because there was a little rust stain where I had removed screws the stainless was going to be considered just regular steel. I got 9 cents a pound for my metal and left with 25 dollars. They had me put everything inside a huge bin and then just weighed it all at once. I don't know how much weight I had but I do know that some of the metal was stainless and should have been sold as stainless. Right? Is this normal practice in the scrapping world?
