How Can I know If My Scrap Metal Is Worth Good Money?
Identifying different types of metal can be a difficult task for those without the proper equipment or expertise. However, an effective way of knowing whether you have valuable metal in your possession is through the magnet test. Simply place a magnet near the metal you are willing to recycle and, if there is no attraction, it is probably worth good money. In most cases, metals are worth between 5 cents to $6 a pound. Bring your materials to us and we can help you see how much they are worth!
