was talking to someone today, he said never throw out your old
catalytic converter. Take it to a metal salvage place where they can
recover the titanium and rhodium in it.
Platinum, palladium and rhodium, actually.
Platinum and palladium are used for the HC/CO side, rhodium for the NO
side.
You can get up to $100-200
for it...
Garages get about $50-100 for them from the places that salvage them.
Cat thefts are increasing for this reason. The crooks are stealing them off
cars on new-car lots, using cordless Sawzalls. They target truck-based
vehicles because there's more ground clearance.
