Buying Prices
- The more you have, the more we pay! Call for bonuses over 200 pounds, or more!
- All metals must meet our grading standards.
- All prices are in cents per pound unless noted.
- All prices below are for "clean" metal, unless listed as contaminated. In order to be graded as "clean" all metals must be free of steel, plastics, or other contaminants (other contaminants may be other nonferrous metals).
- Contaminated prices may be lower than listed, depending on the amount of contaminants.
- If you're unsure whether or not your metal is "clean," please give us a call!
* Be sure to review our information about the
Non-ferrous Scrap Metal Recycling Law! *
If the total amount of your transaction for non-ferrous metal is more than $30 you will be mailed a check 10 days after you bring the metal in for recycling.
Special rules apply for business customers - ask for more information, or check out this page for details and a form to fill out.
|
Be sure to bring a valid state-issued driver's license or ID card each time you bring in scrap metals. Your license must be current and valid. If your license is punched or damaged, we double check online to make sure your ID is still valid. If your ID is not valid, we cannot buy your metals. |
Aluminum cans are exempt from the $30 rule. Batteries and Catalytic Converters are included in the recycling law.
