Want to get the most money for your scrap? How you prepare your scrap before selling can significantly impact the price you receive. Follow these tips to maximize your earnings.
1. Separate Different Metals
Mixed scrap is worth less than sorted scrap. Separate iron, copper, aluminum, brass, and plastic into different piles.
2. Remove Attachments
Plastic handles, rubber grips, and wooden parts reduce the value of metal scrap. Remove them if possible.
3. Clean Your Scrap
Dirt, grease, and paint do not add weight value. Clean metal scrap is easier to process and may fetch better rates.
4. Strip Copper Wires
Bare copper wire is worth significantly more than insulated wire. Take time to strip the insulation.
5. Flatten Bulky Items
Flattening items like cardboard boxes, plastic containers, and metal sheets saves space and makes transport easier.
