Hey, I’ve got an old filing cabinet that I’m thinking of scrapping. Anyone know how much a filing cabinet is worth in scrap metal?
Filing cabinets for sale as scrap metal typically have a low value. Since most filing cabinets are made of steel, the current price for steel is around $0.05 to $0.07 per pound.
Assuming a filing cabinet weighs 50 pounds, at $0.06 per pound, its scrap metal value would be approximately $3.
However, the actual price will be affected by factors such as location, fluctuations in the steel market, recycling center fees, and metal purity.
If you want to get a higher return, consider repainting the filing cabinet or selling it on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist.
Filing cabinets in good condition can fetch $20-50 or even more. Another option is to donate it to a school or charity, which may also qualify you for a tax deduction.
