Buying Prices
- Call for bonus rates if you have over 100 pounds of one of these metal grades!
- All metals must meet our grading standards.
- All prices are in cents per pounds unless noted.
* Be sure to review our information about the Non-ferrous Scrap Metal Recycling law! *
If the total amount of your transaction 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.
Be sure to bring a valid state-issued driver's license or ID card each time you bring scrap metals. Aluminum cans are exempt for the $30 rule.
We strive to provide accuracy for the following list of prices, however, the prices posted at our recycling center are what we pay if there is any discrepancy.
