    So I have old calipers and rotors. Where can I toss these things?

    Also a bumper?

    How do you guys dispose of these things?

    My local dump will take these type of things, usually gets tossed into the metal bin for most car parts like your describing. They may charge you a little fee. May be different where you are.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Use the calipers for “core” returns on new calipers and buy 1 new rotor then defect out an old rotor for a new rotor (you will no longer have a rotor warranty if you do this but you will now have two rotors for the price of one)

    I sold my stock calipers for $100 after I installed Tundra brakes. These parts are worth money.

    Autozone takes them for free here. If you have room to store them I would sell them on Craigslist.

    I had a front bumper, skid plate and a few other odds and ends laying around for a while, and I finally just tossed them in the scrap pile at the dump.

    I probably coulda sold them, but then I'd have to deal with a bunch of loser lowballers on Criagslist (or worse, TW members :D) coming over to my house and touchin my stuff.

    I don't like nobody touchin my stuff.

    Give it away if it is of any use.

    Rotors and brake drums make good bases for stands .

    complete scrap parts go in the ever growing scrap pile

    I have a parts graveyard on the side of our driveway and on the side of the house. Probably not a good long term solution

    Once upon a time, I took junk out in the woods to shoot it with a .44 mag.

    True story.
