Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why is non-ferrous metal worth more than ferrous metal?
Non-ferrous metals like copper and brass are generally scarcer and more energy-intensive to produce from raw ore, which is reflected in their higher scrap value compared to ferrous metals like steel.
How can I tell if my scrap metal is ferrous or non-ferrous?
A simple test is to see if a magnet sticks to it — ferrous metals are usually magnetic, while non-ferrous metals are not. If you’re unsure, bring it in and our team will identify it for you.
Do you buy mixed loads of different non-ferrous metals?
Yes, though separating your metals by type beforehand, such as keeping copper apart from aluminium, will generally help you get a more accurate and often better price.
Can businesses arrange regular non-ferrous metal collection?
Yes, we work with businesses that generate a consistent supply of non-ferrous scrap and can arrange a collection schedule to suit your volumes.
