The most valuable scrap metal is generally copper, and all the difference is made by how good the grade is. Prices for clean copper wire, copper pipe and copper tubing can be quite different. Another reliable bet is aluminum, especially when it comes to extrusions, sheets and cast aluminum. It all adds up. For people who have got a big load of scrap, steel and iron can add up quickly because they can be accepted in large quantities even if they don’t always fetch the highest price. We take all this and more. And if you’re not really sure what you’ve got, our staff is always on hand to help.
Maybe one of the most common questions we get asked is whether it’s worth it to drive over here for smaller amounts. And the honest answer is it really depends on the contents. Even a small load can bring a real reward if you’re dealing with valuable metals like copper. Volume is a big factor when it comes to lower-value items like mixed iron. So just give us a call and we’ll try to give you an estimate based on what you’ve got.
Locals have come to trust us over the years to give them a fair deal. We don’t mess around with sneaky deductions or lowballing people. When you come to Eco Way Recycle, you can be sure that your weight and grade will be called correctly and your payout will be as promised. That’s why our customers keep on coming back to us and recommending us to their friends.
Getting more out of your scrap can be as simple as knowing about metal grades. Taking a few minutes to separate the copper from the aluminum or get rid of any non-metal bits can make a real difference to the value of your load. We’re happy to teach new customers the basics of sorting and grading so they can squeeze out the best returns over time with no extra hassle.
Yet another reason to recycle scrap metal is to stop useful resources from just getting chucked in the bin. You can recycle aluminum, copper and steel and process them again to make new things without losing any of their strength. So every load that comes through our place has a future life in production.
The speed at which metal prices can change in response to what’s happening in the world market is often overlooked. One of the best ways to plan when to bring your scrap over and catch the better price windows when they come along is to keep in touch with your local recycler. When the rates start to go up, we’re always happy to let our customers know.
Before you next go on holiday, come and check in with us for the latest prices. Our goal is to make the whole process painless and worthwhile for you.
