How can you get the best scrap metal prices?

Scrap metal grading and its effect on prices

Scrap metal prices are affected by the grade of the metal. Metals have different classifications that make it a higher or lower grade, we’ve provided some extra information below about the different grades.

Grade 1: The metal has no associated alloys within the material. There should be no corrosion associated with the scrap metal and it should be of a certain size and diameter.

Grade 2: Metals are generally made from alloy with the primary metal being the metal you want to scrap. i.e. Grade 2 copper is generally 99% pure, while Grade 1 copper is 100% pure. Metals must be clean of any foreign contamination to reach the highest level grading (getting the best scrap metal price).
