Non-Ferrous vs Ferrous — What's the Difference?

Understanding your metal helps you get the best price.

Non-Ferrous Metals

Non-ferrous metals contain no significant iron. They don't rust, are generally lighter, and command higher scrap prices. A magnet won't stick to them. Common non-ferrous metals include copper, brass, aluminium, lead, zinc, stainless steel, and nickel. These are the metals we specialise in.

Ferrous Metals

Ferrous metals contain iron and are magnetic. They're lower in price per tonne than non-ferrous but we buy large quantities. Steel beams, iron railings, car bodies, and cast iron all fall into this category. We accept all grades at all three scrap yards.

Scrap Metal Price FAQs

How often are scrap metal prices updated?
Our prices are updated every working day, reflecting movements in the London Metal Exchange (LME). Copper, aluminium, and lead prices in particular can move significantly day to day.
Do you publish prices for gold and silver?
Gold and silver prices change minute by minute so we price each item individually using certified testing equipment. Call or WhatsApp us with a photo and approximate weight for an instant quote.
Are prices the same at all three depots?
Yes — prices are the same at Preston, Stockport, and Sheffield. We operate one consistent price list across all sites, updated each morning.
Do prices include VAT?
Prices shown are per tonne and are exclusive of VAT. VAT is applicable to some transactions depending on your status. Ask at the yard if you need a VAT receipt.
