[SML] Used stage weights

[Bill Conner]

If steel - not cast iron nor lead - and a standard size (guessing
you're going from a two rod arbor to a front loading arbor maybe?) the
nearest company that sells and installs rigging would be a likely buyer.
Don't know who you are near. I'd guess they'd pay a lot more than scrap.  I
see scarp at 10-15 cents a pound; stage counterweights up near $5 new.
Some high school would probably be fine saving a dollar or so per pound for
ten or twenty thousand pounds and live with the rusty edges from
the beginning instead of a few years down the road.
