What determines a scrap metal price?
There is no single per-kilogram rate that fits every metal load. Material type, grade, condition and quantity affect how scrap is assessed. A mixed pile and a separated load may need different evaluations, even if their total weight is similar.
| Metal | Useful quote details |
|---|---|
| Copper | Bare or insulated, clean or mixed, pipe or wire |
| Aluminium | Profiles, sheet or cast parts; attached materials |
| Iron & steel | Type, condition, dimensions and approximate quantity |
| Brass | Fittings or offcuts, plating and attachments |
| Stainless steel | Known grade or markings, condition and mixed materials |
| Cable & wire | Conductor type, insulation and cable markings |
