Question:

How much is obselete steel worth when sold as scrap?

I have hundreds of pounds of scrap steel... who purchases this steel and what is the price per pound etc. of this? Does someone pick it up or do I bring it somewhere?

Right now, steel is worth $150/ton. Who purchase it? Well, not every scrap yard handle steel, you have to call them up, or look at the company name that has the word steel or iron. But price can vary from each scrap yard. Try to call around. As for someone to pick it up, the scrap yard will mostly charge you a trucking fee and then the price for steel would be lower. But here is another bad thing if you have it pick up. I know some scrap yard are bad...reall bad..they will skim off some weight...a 1k lbs to 2k lbs. Wish you good luck!
