How to use these scrap metal prices

Sort before you sell

Copper bright (CU) and clean board (CB) lots routinely price above bare-yard averages. 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.
