GET MORE FOR YOUR METAL

Two things affect the value of your scrap metal: the condition it’s in, and the current market price for the kind of metal you’re selling. Metal prices are constantly changing, but we keep on top of the market to make sure we’re offering competitive pricing for your scrap metal. Here are some things you can do to get more for your metal:

Test it first
If a magnet sticks to your metal- it’s ferrous. If a magnet doesn’t stick, you have non-ferrous metal, which is usually more valuable.

Sort it out
Separating the different types of metal makes it easy for us to see what you have, and you’ll know exactly what you’re getting paid for each type. If you don’t have the time to sort your metal, we’ll gladly accept it all mixed together. We will price the metal based on the mix of grades.

Clean it up
“Dirty” Non-Ferrous scrap is Non-Ferrous metal that has iron or steel attachments (like screws or rivets) or is literally covered with dirt, wood, paper, paint, or other debris. We usually pay less for dirty scrap than we do for clean scrap, so investing a little time to clean up your metal can help you earn more.

To help reduce your company’s risk of metal theft:

• Secure all equipment in locked buildings or well-lit areas protected by fencing or a perimeter security system
• Post “No Trespassing” signs around the property, and/or signs indicating the presence of a surveillance or security system
• Secure buildings with deadbolts, and door and window locks
• Trim or remove landscaping that allows criminals to hide from view
• Eliminate items that allow easy access to buildings and roofs, such as trees, ladders, scaffolding, dumpsters and pallet piles
• Install a security camera with video recorder and keep recordings for a sufficient period
• Don’t receive supplies earlier than needed
• Make sure someone is present when supplies are delivered at a job site so they can be immediately secured
• Mark metals with your company’s name using paint, hard-to-remove decals, or engraving
• reate a master list of all of your equipment and bulk metal, and include pictures and serial numbers if present
• Make sure you have adequate insurance to cover metal theft

If a metal theft does occur, call the police immediately so that local recyclers and scrap dealers can be alerted. Don’t disturb the crime scene as the evidence (tire tracks, shoe marks, fingerprints, etc.) could be used to help prosecute the thieves if they are caught.
