Recycling scrap? There’s an app

Locator feature on iScrap App

Nearby scrap yards are shown on the iScrap App Map

The iScrap App makes it easy to find the closest scrap yard.  The Locator feature pinpoints nearby scrap yards on a Google map. Phone numbers were also listed for most of the scrap yards shown in the Oklahoma City area.  Each listing has a place for the company’s email, website and hours of operation, but most of that information was not yet shown in this area.  Regional price ranges for copper, brass and aluminum were listed.  The yards have the option of listing their pricing, but I could not find many doing that.

Another interesting feature on this app is the Metal List. Each item on the list has a picture and description for easy reference. For more information visit iScrapApp.com.  The app is available for all digital devices.

Could it get any better than this?  Not only is April 28th a Free Shred Day at the Waste Management Recycle Center at 5519 NW 4th in Oklahoma City, it is also the date for recycling ammunition, tires, computers and pharmaceuticals at the State Fairgrounds in Oklahoma City from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. This collection service is only open to Oklahoma City residents. Just bring an Oklahoma City water bill stub as proof of residency.  For more details on what items are accepted or not accepted, please visit the City of Oklahoma City website.

Got Stuff?

The purpose of this blog is quite simply to help any of my fellow 1,322,458 residents in the Greater Oklahoma City Area find good uses for the stuff they no longer need.

The site will include information and links to organizations in the Greater Oklahoma City area who will either benefit from the things you no longer need or will help ensure that they are properly recycled. Eventually, I hope to have numerous items listed along with multiple options for  recycling or donating them.

While every effort will be made to provide accurate and timely information, I would recommend checking with the organization before making the donation.

A few years ago, I read that there were 30 million bloggers around the world with an average audience of one.  So, if you are reading this blog, chances are pretty good that I’ve just doubled my readership and I thank you.

If you are fortunate enough to own stuff (and maybe at times more than you need), then please consider this resource for helping decide what to do with all your stuff.
