Grade tested by handheld XRF before we price it. Catering, brewery, chemical and fabrication scrap.
The yard board
Priced by grade, not by guess
Scrap is worth what it actually is. We grade to standard trade codes in front of you and price against the LME, so the figure on your ticket is one you can check.

Indicative only. Your firm price is fixed at the weighbridge after grading, with any deduction for attachments, moisture or non-metallics itemised on the ticket.
Payment is by BACS to a named account. We cannot pay cash — the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 prohibits it.
