9 cents a pound for steel

50¢ per pound of aluminum

$3 per pound for copper.

Scrap metal prices have many factors that are considered in pricing. When you ask for scrap metal pricing you need to know:

Comex pricing

LME pricing

Type of scrap metal you have - ferrous (iron, steel, HMS) or non ferrous (copper, aluminum, zinc, brass, etc.)

Always carry a magnet to do a quick test on your scrap metal, and make sure you clean and separate your scrap metal.

Once you have all of this info then check online pricing and call your local recycling yard. Compare pricing and go with scrap yard that pays highest price and is reputable.
