Recycle Brake Rotors?
Do brake rotors have scrap value?
I am not positive, but I'm thinking I took some rotors to my metal recycler and he didn't want them. I know I took something down there that he didn't want, but I can't remember what it was -- rotors are the only thing that I would have laying around though ... |

But they don't like to deal with folks that only have a few pounds of metal. I've hauled in rotors and drums along with other parts, but only when there is enough for a trailer load. When in doubt, call. -- DougW |

They would want that. Jeff |

value at the scape yard. thanks Jamie |

That's too bad. Because they will probably just send it to a landfill, they probably aren't set up to recycle iron. Whereas if it goes to a scrap yard, it will get recycle. Jeff |

I have to put recyclable stuff, newspapers, plactics, bottles, etc., into a separate can from my regular trash. We're told that the can gets sorted somewhere and the various materials are separated into piles where they do the most good. Assuming what They say and what They do is the same, my rotors should find their way to a good home. I'll be out a few bucks, but I won't have to buy gas to drive across town to the recycle center. |

Turbos tend to use spherodial graphite iron as it doesn't crack so easy under extreams of temperature change. |
