Default Virginia/East Coast Catalytic Converter recyclers

I have probably 100 take off converters from all kinds of different vehicles at my shop just sitting out back in the metal dumpster. There's gotta be a place I can take/send these to and make some cash on 'em.... **mod money** Let me know if any of you have done it and where you took them. I'm in the Norfolk/Tidewater area.

get them out of the dumpster and inside quick, the city people are running around w/ cordless sawzalls getting the cats off of trucks and anything else they can climb under; don't know where in VA, but in the NE the vette cats can bring 50-75/piece

They are inside an enclosed dumpster inside a privacy fence. People do not even know they are there. I've heard about the thieving with the corless sawzalls and torches and stuff. this week I'm going to dig them out, trim the pipe off and put them in a small trashcan, and stash them inside the shop somewhere.

Just wondering if anyone had any POC's on where to get these things recycled at... I probably have 2-3 G's sitting here, no joke

I'm waiting on a quote from another company, I honestly havent gotten a final count on how many I have here... they all seem to be bigger than most though. The best perk to the other company is, they arrange to have them picked up. they split the shipping costs with you, and your half just comes out of your payout. no cost upfront to ship or anything. It seems to be a good way to do it for ease on the customer's standpoint. PM me if you can do something comparable. I'm all ears.

I have a working cat off a '99 Camry 4 cylinder, is that worth anything? Has 96,000 miles on it.

This is a stock cat. Anyone know who would buy it locally?
