Cast iron may pay less per pound than copper or brass, but what it lacks in unit price it makes up in sheer weight. A single cast iron bathtub weighs 300-400 lb, an old steam radiator 100-300 lb, and industrial machine bases can run into the tons. At today's price of roughly $0.12/lb ($240/gross ton), those weights add up fast.

We buy cast iron from demolition contractors, plumbers, HVAC companies, and industrial plants nationwide — radiators, boilers, tubs, pipes, engine blocks, counterweights, and machinery. For loads over 1,000 lb we provide free rigging and pickup. Cast iron prices follow the steel market and change with mill demand, so call 954-488-0700 for a confirmed quote. One tip: keep cast iron separate from light steel — mixed loads get paid at the lower grade.
