To maximize profits from scrap metal, start by separating different types of metal—copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, and others—since clean, sorted metals bring higher prices than mixed loads. Removing non-metal materials like plastic, rubber, or insulation (especially from copper wire) can significantly increase the value of your scrap. Clean, uncontaminated metal is easier to process and more desirable.
Partnering with a reputable recycling company, like Julius Metals, that offers fair, transparent pricing and prompt payment ensures you’re getting the best value for your materials.
