How often do scrap metal prices change?

Scrap metal prices change every business day. Base metals like copper and aluminum track the LME (London Metal Exchange) which updates daily. Specialty alloys like Inconel and titanium track nickel and titanium commodity prices. We update this page every morning with current market prices. For a real-time confirmed price, call 754-310-2984.

What is the most valuable scrap metal today?

As of August 01, 2026, the most valuable scrap metals by weight are: Tantalum $18.00–26.00/lb, Waspaloy $12.00–20.00/lb, Inconel 718 $10.00-$18.00/lb, Tungsten Carbide $6.00–12.00/lb, Titanium Grade 5 $4.00–8.00/lb, and Copper Bare Bright $4.00-$4.20/lb. Catalytic converters can be worth $50–$800+ each due to platinum, palladium, and rhodium content.

Why are scrap metal prices different from what a local scrap yard pays?

Local scrap yards pay commodity prices — the lowest possible price for mixed, unidentified metal. We specialize in industrial metals and pay significantly more because we identify the exact alloy grade and sell to buyers who need that specific material. A piece of Inconel 625 worth $0.50/lb at a scrap yard is worth $8–$14/lb to us. Always call us before going to a scrap yard for industrial metals.

Do you offer free scrap metal pickup?

Yes — we provide free commercial pickup for large lots (typically 500+ lbs) anywhere in the continental United States. For smaller quantities of high-value metals like Inconel, titanium, or tungsten carbide, we can arrange shipping. Call 754-310-2984 to discuss your specific situation.
