Buying Prices
- The more you have, the more we pay! Call for bonuses over 50 pounds, 100 pounds, or more!
- 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 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.
Be sure to bring a valid state-issued driver's license or ID card each time you bring scrap metals. Your license must be current and valid, we do check if your license is punched or damaged.
Aluminum cans are exempt from the $30 rule. Batteries and Catalytic Converters are included in the recycling law.
We strive to provide accuracy for the following prices, however, the prices posted at our recycling center are what we pay if there is any discrepancy. Ask about bonuses over 50, 100, or more pounds.
