Disclaimer

Prices on Scrap Price Today are indicative reference figures, not offers or advice; here is what that means and where to check before you sell.

Last updated

All prices on Scrap Price Today are indicative reference figures, not offers to buy or sell and not financial advice. Some boards use modeled placeholder values while live feeds are connected. Always confirm a price with a licensed buyer before you sell.

Prices are indicative

The figures on our boards, charts and country pages are compiled from exchange settlements, mill buying programs and published yard price lists, adjusted for market and currency as described in our editorial policy. They are a reference for planning, and they can differ from what any particular yard pays on any particular day.

Placeholder values

While live pricing feeds are being connected, some boards show modeled placeholder values. They illustrate how the board works and must not be relied on as market prices.

No advice

Nothing on this site is financial, investment, legal or tax advice, and nothing here recommends buying, selling or holding any material. Decisions about scrap are yours, and we suggest comparing quotes from more than one licensed buyer.

Local rules

Selling scrap metal is regulated differently in every country and often in every state or province. Our country pages summarise the main rules as we understand them, but they are not legal advice and rules change. Check the current requirements with the buyer or the relevant authority before you sell.

We cite exchanges, trade associations and government sources, and we link to them for reference. We do not control those sources and are not responsible for their content.

Liability

Scrap Price Today is not liable for any loss arising from reliance on the information on this site, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our terms and conditions set out the position in full.

Corrections

If a figure or a rule on this site looks wrong, tell us at info@scrappricetoday.com and we will check it against our sources.
