When I lived elsewhere you could go to some yards (call them scrap, recycling, or whatever the appropriate term is) that essentially would recycle steel or get deals on steel for cheap that was extra and not used... etc.

Are there any places around Raleigh where I could go (as an individual), take a look at scrap/steel, and buy (without buying in bulk) at a discounted price in comparison to new steel from a steel distributor?

As a bonus question: I am looking for 1/4" plate but don't need a full 4x8 sheet. I need more like 2x4 or 3x4. Any tips on where?

Thanks ahead of time.
 
Idk about your area but I bought a partial sheet of 1/2 plate for my welding table from Carolina steel bar in greensboro. I know the salesman so maybe he hooked me up I don't know. But he told me it was sold by the pound so I paid for what I needed and then an extra $10 dollars for them to cut it to that size.
 
I work at a place... anything deemed scrap I can get for next to nothing.
I can keep a look out for a piece. It would probably only cost me a few bucks but I am 2 hours from you
 
That's some serious sheet! :eek: 327 pounds worth for a whole 4x8 sheet... Would LOVE to know what you had planned.

I could probably round up some 1/4" but only like 2-3" wide...
