Taking out a stainless steel sink can be an intelligent move at your scrap yard. To make an extra buck on the stainless steel sink, remove the steel ring on the outside and drain from the bottom to make more money. Take a hammer and chisel and hit away! Be sure to save the brass drain for your drain pile.
How Valuable Is A Scrap Stainless Steel Sink?
