Long shot question re scrap metal
I know most of you are on LI, but I figured I'd ask.
We have some scrap metal at our upstate house (in Columbia County, NY) that we'd love to unload. An old gas grill, a smaller old charcoal drum grill, 2 fire pits, maybe some other crap. Mostly we just want the stuff GONE (its taking up our shed right now) but I thought I might also be able to sell it for scrap.
Any companies that you know of service upstate NY for scrap metal removal and payment? I don't even care if I only got $10 bucks out of it. They'd have to come to us, b/c we have no means to transport these items (I have a Cruze and my husband has a Camaro)
Thanks in advance!!

Re: Long shot question re scrap metal
I'm from Columbia County - where is your 2nd home? We still have my childhood home in Germantown.
When cleaning out my Grammie's house in Hudson we used a guy Taggard's Hauling, but we paid him to remove the stuff....he's out of business now too.
I asked a friend who still lives in the area if he knows of anyone. I'll keep you posted.
It's hard to find anyone willing to come & pick up scrap metal up there. As I'm sure you know making "dump trips" is common being there is no garbage pick up.

Thanks so much! We have a small house in Copake, NY. We actually have garbage pickup in our area b/c we're part of a homeowners association, but you have to use the stupid special bags, which are $$, so normally we take our garbage home w/us to Long Island...

The bags for even taking your own garbage to the dump is like $5 bag! Crazy! If we have room in the car - it comes to LI with us too. 
I'll keep you posted with what he comes back with.

Not sure if they'll go that far but City Scrap Metal is one that all of the construction guys wear T-shirts from and they are pretty well known.

If you are in the 5 boroughs of NY, Westchester or NJ call 212-777-4100 to schedule your pick-up.
If you are in Nassau County, Long Island, call us at 516-777-CITY.
In Suffolk County, Long Island, call us at 631-777-CITY.

Its pretty rural so I'm not sure. We'd get fined from our homeowners ASSocation if we left it out, so I dont want to chance it. We're only up there every other weekend. If we had a truck, I'd bring it all home and put it out by the road here, b/c I know ppl drive around and collect scrap.

Re: Long shot question re scrap metal
Heard back from my friend - here's his response:
Word has it there's nobody. There used to be Gold's on Columbia Street but he's been gone for years now from what I'm told. Only place I know of now is in the port of Albany or there's one around the corner from my work.
http://www.simsmm.com/Local-Solutions/North-America/New-York/Hudson-River-Recycling
or
Ontario Scrap Metal Inc.
30 Ontario Street
Albany, NY 12206
518-463-2213
I think smaller amounts can be recycled at the dump though if I'm not mistaken, which I may be. It's been a while and I'm due.
It doesn't look like anyone will come & pick up. I think your best bet is CL or even a Columbia County buy, sell, swap page on Facebook.
