Waste metal & grades

We accept all metals such as iron/steel, copper, brass, aluminum, stainless steel, lead, zinc, copper cables or other cables. The exact list can be found in our metal tool.

Yes, pure copper from copper cable can achieve a higher price than conventional copper cable (incl. Insulation).

Typical: clean, bare copper/alu/brass > clean scrap. Bad, on the other hand, is heavily contaminated scrap metal. Cable is evaluated by copper content. Prices for all metals are relatively stable, but for copper the price is fluctuating. Check out before you sell.

Nope. We do not accept batteries and batteries of any kind – neither starter batteries nor device batteries, either from private or from the trade. The Battery Ordinance applies to the return of batteries: the dealer who sells batteries is obliged to take back batteries free of charge; in addition, municipal recyclables courts accept them. On the other hand, we buy pure lead without housing and acid – this runs as lead for us and has nothing to do with a battery.

No, household resolutions and furniture are not part of our offer – we specialize in metals and scrap. On the other hand, we like to buy metal parts such as radiators, pipes, cables or electric motors from a resolution.

Yeah. We evaluate the machines and systems that are worth preserving – for example from dismantling or operating tasks – as used goods, which often bring more than just scrap. We check every time we disassemble what can be resold.

We buy the usual qualities V2A (1.4301 / AISI 304) and V4A (1.4571 / 1.4404) – from individual containers to tons of dismantling or production. The daily prices can be found in the metal purchase under stainless steel.

Yes, but at a much lower price. The tire has to go down, and we'll do this job. In addition, a tire that is pulled up weighs eight to twelve kilograms, which are on the scales but are not aluminium. If you have the tire removed before, you will get the price for clean goods.

With a magnet: it adheres to steel rims, not to aluminium rims. We also buy steel rims, but they run as scrap iron and bring a fraction. Do not throw both together – a mixture is evaluated according to the weaker portion.

Yeah. Brass is a copper alloy, and its value depends on it: It's clearly above iron scrap. It is best rated without iron screws, plastic handles and seals. Gunmetal contains additional tin and achieves even more. Even a bucket of fittings is worth the way.

Significantly more than iron – how much depends on the alloy. V2A (1,4301, often called Nirosta) is the most common grade; V4A additionally contains molybdenum and is paid higher. A magnet gives only a first hint, the alloys he can't distinguish. Separate both: In the mixture, the whole delivery is evaluated according to the weaker grade.

That depends on what's in it. For iron and steel scrap, weight is the main factor; the kilo price is in the range of less cents. If non-ferrous metal is inserted in it – copper windings, brass fittings, aluminium profiles – the value increases many times. For mixed deliveries, the price is obtained during the evaluation; for larger quantities we call it in advance in the offer.

Yeah. We buy circuit boards and boards. There is no fixed kilo price for this – it depends on the type of boards and is therefore not included in the price list. Request it via the offer form or call; a photo will help us more than any description.

Yeah. We buy neodymium magnets – they are included in hard drives, loudspeakers and electric motors. There is no fixed kilo price for this; give us the quantity and origin via the offer form, then you get the current rate.

Cable peel lead is the lead jacket of old earth and telecommunications cables, which remains when peeling. For us, the lead scrap is: we buy it and count it as lead. As is the case with all lead: it brings the most varietal and free of iron and plastic adhesions.

Steel wheels are iron scrap and are billed at the scrap price – significantly less than aluminium wheels. A magnet distinguishes both in seconds: it adheres to steel, not to aluminium. Do not throw the grades together; a mixture is evaluated according to the weaker portion.

Yeah. The price depends heavily on the type and is therefore not included in the price list – we call it on request. Send us a photo of the catalyst via the offer form and, if available, the stamped identification number; then you will receive reliable information.

Millberry is the trade name for blank, insulation-free copper wire with metallic shiny surface. It is the cleanest grade that regularly arrives in the farm and needs the least preparation – so it is at the top of the price table. Started, lacquered or tinned scrap metal does not count as a millberry, but runs one step below it.

There is not one copper scrap price, but one per grade. Purity and conductor content are crucial: bare wire, pipes and collecting rails, mixed cables or plugs are classified differently. For each grade, those who separate pure grades get their own price instead of a mixed valuation according to the weakest proportion.

It's on the cross-section. With strong cables with a high conductor content, stripping is almost always expected, with fine plug cables with multiple sheathing rarely – the effort exceeds the difference there. The ladder portion decides which grade will reach at the end – you can read the distance between the grades on the daily price.

In the case of cables, the copper content in the cross-section, not the weight, decides. A thick earth cable brings much more than an equally heavy roll of thin mantle line per kilogram – the difference lies in the proportion of the conductor alone. Therefore, there are several types of cables instead of one price, staggered by copper content. What grades we distinguish and what they bring today is under Copper cable purchase.
