    Swarf recycling?

    Just wondering how you guys get rid of your swarf? I don't produce a lot so I can't sell it, but there is too much to give to the bin-man! Any ideas?

    I usually save all my stuff when I get a lot. Last time I was there they gave me a couple of dollars for my bags. I had about 20 lbs of aluminum they were giving $.17 a lbs. I wonder what they do with this stuff afterwards...
