If you throw them in a waste basket, they will eventually get into a landfill.
But if you are smart, you will take the scrap metal to a scrap metal recycling center (find one near you with Google maps). These recycling centers will pay you CASH MONEY for your scrap metal. In other words, you can make money from what would otherwise be garbage.
Once you recycle the scrap, it will get remelted into industrial grade materials. (aka copper, aluminum, lead, nickel, cobalt, iron, molybdenum, gold, platinum, silver ect)
