The price of scrap metal is not a fixed figure. It fluctuates constantly due to global market factors such as supply and demand, raw material prices, economic developments, and stock market prices. Simply put: when demand for recycled metal increases, the price goes up. If demand falls or there is a large supply, the price goes down.
In addition, the quality of the scrap metal plays a major role. Pure, clean scrap metal yields a higher return than material that is mixed with other substances or contains impurities. That’s why it always pays to sort your scrap metal properly before you turn it in.
How much do you get for 1 kg of scrap metal?
The price per kilogram varies depending on market conditions and the type of metal. Regular structural steel fetches a lower price than, for example, galvanized iron or iron with copper residues. For the most up-to-date price per kilogram, simply check our scrap metal prices page or send us a WhatsApp message directly. We’ll quickly let you know exactly what to expect, accurate to the kilogram.
