My SIL & I replaced the front struts, lower control arms and CV axle shafts, both sides of his 2005 Trailblazer EXT this past weekend.
Any suggestions for disposing of these parts? Anyone here need some metal?
Thx!

Sounds like those should fit in the trash can. Maybe not all at once but over a couple of weeks they could all be gone.
If the control arms are aluminum they might be worth a couple of bucks for scrap.

I always leave those sort of things in the alley behind my house. Scrappers take it within a couple days (usually the same day).

Take it to Western Scrap, trade for lead.

they wont give you anything unless you have 200 lbs or more for steel.. if they are aluminum they might be worth a few bucks if you remove the bushings... not worth it imo
You can drop it off at Koscove Metal, you won't get much but they will take any metal.

You can always give me a call, I get rid of it at work.[Coffee]
the future of metal mining is from landfills so throw it away.
a csu professor touted this in the early 90's wonder if it holds true

Dependent on where you live but YES.
Most repair shops have a metal bin for just such a reason. Or as others have mentioned, drop them in an urban area they will disappear FAST.
