I keep some of those Folgers coffee "cans" (red plastic) that are the thirty-three ounce size near my loading bench. Every so often I sump my spent primers into these cans. Also any brass that's split of damaged goes into them as well. And lately, when I go to the range with one of my .22 single actions, I bring home my empties.
Sooooo, today I took all this to a scrap metal dealer. I had twenty-six pounds of brass, at $1.30/lb. This netted me $33.80 into my gun fund.
Folks might want to keep this in mind.

$1.30 per lb for junk brass. Who would've thought!

Love them red folgers cans. I use them to sort brass, collect brass in the field, etc etc.

They even take spent primers? Was 26 pounds in 1 coffee can, or several? This could be your own personal silver mine!  |

I had no idea that they paid cash for spent primers...
I throw them away...not anymore. I also just walk past .22LR brass at the range...not anymore.
I use a lot of those big red Folger's plastic "cans"...and I don't even drink coffee(my wife is the coffee drinker). They are great for storing brass in various stages of processing.

I guess that's why they make different stuff. I use the blue Maxwell House jugs.

My son took a 5 gallon bucket half full of mixed rimfire/centerfire brass to a scrapper. I don't remember how much he got but they told him in the future to keep rimfire separate from centerfire as they are made of different qualities of brass. I never heard of that before.
