Because each metal has its own price per pound, separate materials as best you can.

Combined metals reduces the quality, resulting in lower payout

Ex. Separate brass fittings from the copper pipe.

A net ton is 2,000 lbs whereas a gross ton is 2,240 lbs. We measure by gross ton.

Scrap pricing is very unstable. We update our pricing almost everyday!

Factors that determine scrap pricing include:

1. Supply and Demand

2. Currency Exchange Rates

   It’s common for scrap buyers to switch suppliers based on how weak their nation’s currency is, giving the buyer more buying power.

3. Market Requirements

   Scrap is often purchased by nations overseas, and these countries can change the way they buy or classify materials, and how they’re processed.

4. Local Reasons

   Scrap prices can also vary locally due to oil or fuel prices.

   Since scrap metal is transported to different yards and ports, with the delivery cost included, the prices may fluctuate accordingly.

   Another factor is competition. In busier areas, more scrap yards are competing with each other.

   Geographical location is another component of pricing. Some areas of the country do not export scrap but process it at local refineries, who may use a different processing method that affects the price.

5. Tariffs

   When other countries place tariffs on U.S. scrap, demand drops and so do the prices.
