Moving to a new home can be quite tiresome. It is exhausting to sort and pack up everything you own. Moving costs can also be terribly expensive. If you want to ease your trip a little bit then it might be time to start looking for some scrap metal. Selling some of your old stuff for scrap metal is a great way to cut back on work, reduce transportation costs, and provide some extra funding for the movers.

Let’s take a look at some of the best things to scrap when you are preparing for a big move. 

Old Cookware

Your big move is a nice excuse to get some new cookware. Hauling old, broken and dented cookware along for the ride is going to be a nuisance and getting rid of unnecessary items will free up some space on your moving truck. 

Don’t toss old pans, pots, kitchen utensils, and baking trays into the bin along with the rest of your trash. Old metal cookware can be melted down and repurposed to make some new metal products. You can also get quite a little bit of money from your old cookware.

Old or Broken Appliances

Think carefully before loading old appliances onto the moving van. These items will take up a lot of space and might not fit into your new home or apartment. If appliances like an old fridge, stove, dishwasher or washing machine are already worn down and a little bit damaged then it might be better to toss them onto your metal pile. These appliances usually contain lots of metal in their frames, and inside the doors, and most of their hardware components have lots of metal inside. Instead of dunking appliances into the landfill, you can get some extra cash for these items and keep them from contaminating the environment.

Old Parts and Odd Tools in the Garage

Your garage can be a real gold mine because this space often contains a lot of metal items that are beyond use, out of date, unused, or that might just not fit anywhere. While packing up your garage, consider what you actually need. Toss out anything like old broken hand tools or garden tools, loose car parts, old tyre rims, junky lawnmowers, power tools that are broken or worn down, and anything else that you are not likely to use ever again.

The metal items you toss out of your garage can be quite valuable, especially if they contain aluminium or copper wire. It is better to turn these space-consuming objects into cash that you can use for your big move.

Renovation Leftovers

Did you do some renovations around the house? Now that you are moving, you are not likely to reuse the leftover materials again. Old roof sheets, chunks of scrap metal, copper piping, metal sinks, gutters, and other components can fill out your scrap metal pile nicely.

Old Junk Cars

Is there an old broken-down car buried under a pile of leaves in the backyard? It will cost a lot to get a non-runner like this relocated to your new home. It will also cost even more to get the old ride back up and running again. 

If you want to start fresh in your new location then it might be best not to let your old ride hold you back. Let go of the old ride and let the scrap metal funds you get from the old ride aid you in this new chapter of your life.
