Title: scrap metal help?/trailer title?
Post by: Scramdaddy on February 26, 2007, 02:48:32 PM
Some folks offered to let me take some scrap metal to cash in. I looked at the piles and it seemed some of the stuff was aluminum and variuos junk. Could someone let me know if they take any metals at the scrapyard. Also I needed to find out if A 5x8 utility trailer has a title? I thought I had one but cant find it. Thanks in advance Bruce

Most if not all scrap yards take all metals, but you have to clean it up & separate the aluminum & steel or the price goes way down & most wont accept it. As for the trailer, anything that has to be registered, has a title somewhere. You can claim it as a homemade trailer & get one though.

Actually, any trailer under 2,500 lbs. does not require a title.  It does need to be registered and tagged to use on the roadways.

You must mean under 2500lb load/carry capacity. My 16' trailer dont weigh 2500 & it came with a title.
