Default scrap/catalytic converter ??

where does everyone take their scrap?

What about catalytic converters?

I have like 6 catalytic converters to get rid of.
and once I finish stripping this car down, I'll have a stack of scrap too.

International Core Supply, Trademark Recycling, or Gator Core are just a few places that you can go. ICS is at 34th & Columbus in Ybor, Trademark is the street just south of Madison on hwy 41, and Gator Core is just south of Causeway on hwy 41. There are scrap yards all over, its just a matter of finding them.

never had any luck with Trademark. Always felt like I was getting ripped off when I left there.

And the last time I called them about cats, they said they take them as scrap... $8 per 100lbs for a cat is ridiculous.

I'll have to check out gator core.
I've heard other people mention them too.
