Roll lead, tube lead, weights, bullet lead: here is what we assume, which must not be in the package and how quickly the payout comes.

Lead is the heaviest scrap metal in the yard and the easiest to test: soft, dull in sound, not magnetic. The proceeds count how clean it is – mortar on the lead and sand in the lead are later placed on the scales. Both lead types are: Lead, zinc & electric motors.

Detecting lead: the characteristics

Lead is not magnetic and unusually heavy for its size – a piece in hand size weighs a multiple of an equally large aluminium piece. Freshly cut, it shines brightly and starts in matte grey within hours. It is the softest metal in the assortment: the fingernail presses a trace, a sheet metal folds like cardboard. Lead doesn't break brittle, it cracks tough and falls dull, without reverberation.

Softlead and bulletlead

Soft lead is uniformly grey, flexible and without admixture: tube, roll lead, plates, bars, weights. The bullet lead consists of many small, deformed pieces from the ball catch, partly with copper coat, in between sand, earth and wood remains. Dry and sifted it is the better classification.

We pick up from 500 kg and delivery to Ludwigshafen am Rhein is possible without minimum quantity. Payments are made from 25 euros.

How can I recognize lead safely?

Lead is not magnetic, it is extremely heavy for its size and the softest metal in the range: the fingernail leaves a trace, a knife cuts chips. Freshly cut, it shines brightly and starts in matte grey within hours. It sounds dull, without any reverberation – unlike zinc.

Do you accept lead batteries and car batteries?

Nope. We do not buy lead batteries, starter batteries and emergency power cells. Trade is obliged to withdraw, and municipal collection points are also taken. Ammunition, cartridges and fund ammunition are never part of a package; police and combat equipment clearance services are also responsible.

What happens to sand and earth in the bullet lead?

Foreign components are included on the calibrated balance and lower classification. The bullet lead from the ball catch should therefore arrive dry and as sifted as possible. Lime and mortar on tube lead are unproblematic in small remains; whole mortar lumps and wet soil you better take out before.

Do I have to separate soft lead and bullet lead?

Yes, these are two separate grades, and the separation is worth it. The person who gives both together is charged according to the grade that actually gives the mixture. Steel clamps on weights, cable residue on lead coat and rubber on apron lead are best taken out before.
