Maximizing the Value of Your Scrap Iron

Scrap iron, including cast iron, steel, or stainless steel, can be a valuable resource when recycled. Our Iron Price Calculator helps you estimate its worth by inputting weight, type, and unit (kilograms or pounds). Whether you’re clearing out old machinery, construction materials, or household items, knowing the market value ensures you get a fair price.

Iron prices vary by type: stainless steel typically fetches higher rates than mixed scrap due to its corrosion resistance. Market prices fluctuate based on global demand, particularly in construction and manufacturing. Scrap yards often pay 70-90% of the market price, factoring in processing costs. Use our calculator’s history feature to track estimates and compare offers. Sorting your scrap by type and cleaning it of non-metal contaminants can boost its value.

This tool simplifies the process, empowering you to negotiate with confidence. Always verify current market rates and work with reputable scrap dealers to maximize your returns.
