How to use these scrap metal prices

Sort before you sell

Bare bright copper (CU) and clean board (CB) lots routinely price above yard-scale averages in the US. Strip insulation, separate batches, weigh kilograms accurately.

Precious metals pay differently

Gold (AU), Platinum (PT) and Palladium (PD) prices are per gram — multiply by the grams in your lot. Use the Analyze Board tool to estimate recoverable grams per board.

What this snapshot ISN'T

Indicative reference rates. Not a quote, not a buyer offer. Real prices vary by yard, region, lot purity, and grade. Always confirm before committing.

Need UK pounds instead?

See /prices for the GBP reference set, or run a board photo through the analyzer.
