how should i dispose of used parts
I replaced my alternator a while back with a used one that was worthless... money lost. later replaced brand new. I still have a bad alternator that i dont know how to properly dispose/recycle. I also have exhaust pipes that need to be disposed of. Is there any value as scrap metals for either? I havent been able to find an alternator rebuild shop in the area that might buy it even if its only 5$ its off my hands.

Re: how should i dispose of used parts
usually auto repair shops will take them for free. or if you feel like arguing, go take it to an auto store and say youre returning a core. they will try and look up your name and not find any record, but just insist you bought it there and they might make an exception and give you some $$ back.

Re: how should i dispose of used parts
If your defective alternator is OEM I would like to have it.
Would gladly send you the shipping cost and a little extra.
Assuming it is for a 7th gen.
