How to Get Rid of Used Screws, Nuts & Bolts
- 1). Load it all in the trunk of your car and take it to a scrap metal yard. They will weigh it and pay you a few cents per pound.
- 2). Give it to your young neighbor. He probably hasn't been overrun by his collection yet and will welcome them and offer thanks.
- 3). Post on Craigslist or Freecycle and give your collection to a stranger.
- 4). Do not throw those old nuts and bolts in the trash. It isn't likely that any environmental harm will result, but it will take many years for them to rust away once buried in a landfill.
