For all ferrous metals ie: cast iron, steel, tin, unprepared scrap metals, all electric motors and appliances with compressors removed, cans and bottles and non-ferrous metals; lead and aluminum only will get you cash on the spot after being weighed. Non-ferrous metals such as copper, brass and copper wires prepared and unprepared, they will only give you up to $20 dollars of the weight in cash that day And a receipt that you must return with after three days to collect the rest of what you are owed. The three day wait period is so they can verify that what you turned in wasn't collected through some sort of crime. None of these restrictions apply if you are a business with a business license. Make sure you bring a current California drivers license or state issued id or they will turn you away.
Yes on cans and bottles, restrictions on copper. Best to call.
