Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered ferrous scrap metal?
Ferrous scrap metal refers to any metal that contains iron. Common types include steel, cast iron, wrought iron and sheet metal. These materials are widely used in construction, manufacturing, appliances and vehicles.
Items like old tools, car parts, pipes, roofing materials and whitegoods (like washing machines or ovens) often fall into this category.
The key feature of ferrous metals is that they are magnetic and prone to rust.
How much is ferrous scrap metal worth per kilo?
The value of ferrous scrap metal varies depending on the type of metal, its condition, and current market demand. Prices are usually lower than non-ferrous metals like copper or brass, but bulk loads can still bring in a decent return.
On average, ferrous scrap like steel or iron can fetch anywhere from 10 to 30 cents per kilogram, but this can fluctuate.
Scrap yards often use certified weighbridges to determine payout and may offer different rates for clean, sorted materials compared to mixed or contaminated loads.
How should I prepare ferrous scrap metal for recycling?
To get the best value and ensure smooth processing, it’s helpful to separate ferrous metals from other materials like plastic, wood or rubber. While scrap yards will usually accept items with minor attachments, cleaner metal is easier to process and can improve your payout.
If possible, remove non-metal components and avoid mixing ferrous with non-ferrous scrap. Large pieces like beams or appliances may be accepted as-is, but it’s always worth checking if cutting them down improves pricing or handling.
Sorting and prepping your metal ahead of time also speeds up your drop-off at the yard.
