Why prices change
Scrap tracks the commodity markets (COMEX copper, LME aluminum, domestic steel mill buying). We re-post when the market moves enough to matter, usually a few times a week.
Today's scrap metal prices
Updated —. Prices are per pound unless noted, paid on certified scales, and move with the market — large loads and unusual items get a custom quote.
Price board
Filter by category. Non-ferrous metals don't stick to a magnet and pay the most per pound; ferrous (steel and iron) is priced by the ton.
| Material | Category | Price | Trend |
|---|
Trend compares today's price with our previous posted price. Prices shown are for clean, sorted material; contaminated or mixed loads are graded down at the scale. Call (630) 839-9300 for quotes on loads over 1,000 lb.
Get a better grade
Strip insulation from heavy copper wire, remove steel fittings from brass, and keep aluminum types separate. Ten minutes of sorting can be worth a lot. Sorting tips →
