NJ Scrap and Recycling Center

Serving our customers since 1979

Price's Auto Recyclers and NJ Scrap Metal and Recycling started operations in New Egypt, New Jersey in 1979 as an auto recycling yard. The business bought and sold new and used auto parts until 2004. At that time we decided to change the business structure. Price's began concentrating on purchasing scrap metals.

The business bought both ferrous and non-ferrous materials including car bodies, loose metal, light iron, aluminum, copper and brass.

Today the business is still owned and operated by Bill and LuAnn Price along with the management skills of Ryan Price . As our business grows we have opened a brand new office and have a state of the art truck scale to weigh materials. We try to be both professional and efficient while paying the highest prices possible for material. In addition to buying metals, we offer on site scrap removal and container service. We provide fast, friendly service. We value our customers and want them to be treated right!

DO YOU HAVE A PICK UP SERVICE?

We can pick up cars, but you need to call for a price as that is different than the board price. We can also arrange for container service where we drop off a container and you fill it.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN #1, #2, AND BARE BRIGHT COPPER?

Bare bright copper is shiny wire that meets diameter specifications , while #1 copper is shiny, clean copper pipe. Any copper that is tarnished or has non brass solder marks on it will be considered #2 copper. There can be no brass at all on copper.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN #1 PREPARED AND #2 UNPREPARED STEEL?

Steel that is 5 ft in length or shorter and 18 inches in width or smaller is considered #1 prepared. Steel that is longer than 5ft in length and wider than 18 inches is considered #1 unprepared. There is a deduction for non-metal parts on prepared and unprepared steel.
