Metal recycling is one
of the largest recycling industries within the
UK. The prices shown here provide an indication
of the sums that may be paid within the metals
recycling industry by typically medium to large
sized businesses who are receiving material from
merchants and local collectors. Our prices are
guide prices and aim to give a good indication of
the market price but cannot be guaranteed. The letsrecycle.com ferrous
prices are usually revised at the beginning of
each month and non-ferrous prices on a weekly
basis.
Within the trade the quality
of material presented and the volumes may influence
the prices paid.
