I know there are tons of places nationally that do it but I’d rather be able to take a box of stuff to a local place. Anyone know of a local place to get it done? (and yes, I searched). ---

I think the place does zinc, though I’ve only known for a fact they do nickel as well, here in Rochester on Carin St (Next to the Auto auction and auto scrap yard). I’ll see if I can find a number. If they don’t, I’m sure they can recommend someone who does. ---
