Like all businesses, scrap yards have to make money too. With that said, even though the current scrap prices that you see here are what each metal is being bought and sold for on the commodities market, scrap yards will offer you slightly less for your scrap.





Again, they have to make money too but that does not mean that you should accept $0.50 a pound for copper if it is worth more than $3.00 a pound.

Always spend a few minutes doing some research to find the best scrap metal buyers. Scrap yards that are always busy can at times offer a better buying price for your scrap because they do not have a shortage of scrappers showing up each day.

On the other hand, slow metal yards may offer slightly less money for your scrap. Yet again, this is why it is important for you to know in advance where you plan to sell your metals.

Help all new scrappers learn the basics by sending them to this site. Educated scrappers help everyone make more money because theft is reduced and cities stop passing new laws that make being a scrapper difficult.
