Glass Coated Steel

haskl33

I was wondering... is glass coated steel the same as stainless steel? And is it recyclable?

I am bidding on the demolition of a glass coated steel harvestore silo that has approximately 70,000 lbs of glass coated steel. I was wondering if this was recyclable and if anyone knew the going rate per lb or ton or however it is weighed?

if it's the same as the harvestore silos i've seen, it's just mild steel with a fiberglass coating to avoid any corrosion from the silage that's put in there. i think the only stainless steel you're going to see on them are the bolts. the harvestores here are all bolted, i would think it might be a headache demo wise, not going to be just a pushover and pick up the pieces. i would think to get any value out of the steel, you'll have to find a way to rattle the fiberglass from the steel. here, there is no market for recycle fiberglass, you pay 2 cents a lb to take it to the landfill.

I think that you're better off pricing this as junk. Check with your re-cycler. You could burn it off but a silo would be a very big, black cloud of smoke for a few cents per pound.
