The price you get for scrap depends on two things: the rate and the weight. Rates are easy to check online. Weight is where many sellers lose money without knowing it.
The problem with hand scales
Old hand scales are hard to read and easy to misjudge. Small differences on every bundle add up, and arguments over weight leave both sides unhappy.
What a digital scale changes
- You see a clear number, not a needle
- The same item shows the same weight every time
- Each type of scrap can be weighed and noted separately
How we weigh at your door
We set the scale to zero in front of you, weigh each type of scrap separately, show you every reading, and calculate the total using the listed rate for that item.
Your right to check
You can ask to see any reading again before you are paid. A fair deal is simply the right rate multiplied by the right weight.
See the current rates on our Scrap Rates page.
