A lot of heavy steel there..might be best to have a flatbed come pick it up and sell it for scrap steel.

It looks like miscellaneous angle iron, I-beams, and square tubing. Could have been used for just about anything.

That's probably your best option. Certainly fastest and easiest.

worth way more than scrap to people who weld. its basic stock to fabricate things out of. place an ad on market place well over a thousand bucks there.

Agreed. But it also depends how quick he has to move it and where he's located. In my neck of the woods, he might have to sit on it for a while waiting for a buyer.

I would hope to get more for the scrap than the cost of the haul-out.

Steel for fabrication, all the stock lengths (20 foot pieces) can be sold to any fabrication shop.as for the drops (smaller pieces) bring them to the nearest scrap yard. You need somebody that knows steel it sells by thickness,(a 4x4 PC.of tubing with a 1/4 in wall thickness will sell for a lot less than a 4x4 with a 3/8 wall) same goes for flanges n webs of channel I beam,angle ECT.

There's a few options available with the lot.
If it's time-sensitive then call a scrap yard up, many will drop a 20' bin for nothing.
Everything looks like over 4' in length so it will be bought as oversized torching.
Some yards have a set price for this type of material.

The resale market is another option.
Welding shops, will be interested.
Well
Note though if the material has light rust that's one thing.

But if it's pitted then the resale market door is closed.

The steel unprepared will bought at the lower end.

Anywhere between $185 and $350 per metric ton. Most people who buy steel need it for a project and they want it clean. I'd scrap it out.

And by the way any stock lengths that make it to the scrap yard don't get scraped they are put on the side and sold to fabrication shops,that's where I always got mine at a discount

Thanks for all the ideas and help. If I could weld I would make one heck of a garden trellis.
