The scrap market in Stockholm
Stockholm has a competitive market of skrothandlare, several of them publishing an open prislista and updating it either daily or every Monday. Indicative levels quoted across the city in 2026 put koppar at roughly 80 to 110 kronor a kilo depending on form, massing at 40 to 70, kabelskrot at 30 to 50, aluminium at 8 to 22, rostfritt stal at 15 to 25, bly at 7 to 15 and jarnskrot at under 3.
Kopparror, kopparkabel and kopparplat sit at the top of the list and are where the money is. Massing, the copper and zinc alloy found in kranar, ventiler and beslag, follows behind and tracks the copper price. Jarnskrot is the largest volume by far, coming from radiatorer, vitvaror, cyklar and armeringsjarn, but the kilo price is low enough that the total depends on weight rather than rate.
Blandskrot sits at the bottom, typically 1 to 5 kronor a kilo, because it requires the most processing. That gap between sorted and mixed is the single largest thing an ordinary seller controls.

Vad betalar skrothandlare i Stockholm?

Koppar runs roughly 80 to 110 kr, massing 40 to 70, kabelskrot 30 to 50, aluminium 8 to 22, rostfritt stal 15 to 25, bly 7 to 15 and jarnskrot under 3.

Free collection, kostnadsfri hamtning, is widely offered above about 100 kilos.

Selling scrap metal in Stockholm: rules, ID and payment
Two practical norms shape a Stockholm sale. Free collection, kostnadsfri hamtning, is widely offered above about 100 kilos, so accumulating to that threshold is usually worth more than making two trips. And material is weighed on site with payment made at collection, so ask what the kilopris is for your specific metal before anything goes on the scale. Sorting first matters more here than negotiating: ren koppar utan fororeningar is what earns the top of the range.
Before any sale, check the live board above, sort by grade and get quotes from two or three buyers; the best scrap price guide covers the routine and the calculator turns a weight into a figure at today's price. To judge whether a local quote is competitive, our note on telling a well-paying yard from a headline rate sets out the benchmark test.
Stockholm scrap price FAQ
What is the scrap copper price in Stockholm today?
As of the latest update, the indicative price for clean number 1 copper is about kr 127.96 per kg in SEK. Stockholm yards typically quote within a few percent of that figure either side, depending on grade, volume and the buyer; the live board above shows all fifteen grades.
Vad kostar koppar idag i Stockholm?
Indicative levels quoted by Stockholm dealers in 2026 run from about 80 to 110 kronor a kilo for clean copper, with kopparror, kopparkabel and kopparplat at the upper end. Prices follow the London Metal Exchange and are updated daily by some dealers and weekly by others, so confirm the dagspris before you go.
Why is your reference price higher than my dealer quotes?
Because they measure different things. Our figure is derived from the exchange settlement, converted to kronor. A skrothandlare pays below that because they carry collection, sorting, processing, transport and their own margin. The gap is normal and it is why comparing two or three dealers is worth more than comparing a dealer against an index.
Kan jag salja isolerad kopparkabel?
Yes, but you get less. Kabelskrot with the isolering still on sits lower in the 30 to 50 kronor range. Stripping it moves the material toward clean copper pricing. Whether that is worth your time depends on the quantity and the cable thickness.
Vad ar skillnaden mellan koppar och massing?
Koppar is a pure metal. Massing is an alloy of copper and zinc, commonly found in kranar, ventiler, beslag and hylsor. Massing is valuable but pays less per kilo than clean copper, and its price moves with the copper price.
Nar far jag kostnadsfri hamtning?
Free collection is commonly offered above around 100 kilos in Stockholm, including for jarnskrot. Below that threshold you will usually be expected to deliver the material yourself.
Varfor varierar skrotpriser sa mycket?
Three reasons. The world market price moves daily and no dealer controls it. Renhet and sortering change what the material is worth to a processor. And volume matters, since a larger, cleaner load costs less per kilo to handle.
Hur far jag bast betalt for mitt skrot?
Sort before you go, keep each metal separate, remove plastic, paint and iron fittings, and compare two or three skrothandlare. Blandskrot pays 1 to 5 kronor a kilo; the same material properly separated can pay many times that.
Nar far jag betalt?
Swedish dealers commonly weigh on site and pay at collection or drop-off, so you see the weight and the kilopris before the transaction completes. Ask for the price per kilo for your specific metal before anything is weighed.
Are Stockholm prices different from the national board?
The board on this page is the Sweden indicative level, and Stockholm yards trade around it rather than exactly on it. Local competition, freight to the nearest consumer and the day's export demand set the spread, which is why two quotes in the same city can differ by several percent on the same morning.
Sources and methodology
The Stockholm board uses the Sweden indicative prices: global exchange benchmarks (COMEX copper, CME aluminum and steel, NYMEX platinum and palladium, IMF monthly lead, zinc and nickel) multiplied by typical yard recovery shares, a local market factor of 1.00 and the day's exchange rate. The full method, the recovery shares and the correction policy are on our editorial policy page; local notes on this page are reviewed against published dealer information and reader corrections sent to info@scrappricetoday.com.
Prices are indicative and for information only; they are not offers to buy or sell. Yard quotes in Stockholm vary by grade, volume, condition and buyer.
