First, we always publish our prices, right on our website. Some scrapyards refuse to publish their prices or make you call in or in some cases drive-in with your metal to know the value of the metal. Whether you are cleaning out your house, garage, business, or have an established industrial recycling program with us you will always have the ability to know the value of your metal before you decide to work with us. We aren’t afraid of competition, we hope you look at us compared to all of our competitors and hope you feel we have the right mix of integrity, service, and sustainable values to be your long-term recycling solution!
For our industrial metal recycling customers, scrap metal pricing is communicated at the beginning of the month. Our customer service rep sends out a pricing sheet to each of our customers. Steel prices will stay steady for the month and formulas for copper, brass, aluminum and stainless steel will display the percentage of the day of pickup metal price that will be given. Aileen gives customers the pricing formula and a brief overview of what we know about pricing which is very helpful to our commercial metal recycling customers.
If you are wondering how in the world do they come up with the pricing there are many different variables involved. Non-ferrous metals, such as aluminum prices, copper prices, brass prices, and stainless steel prices are all determined on a daily basis. Sahd Metal Recycling commercial recycling program customers have a formula percentage for their metals that is applied to kitcometals.com dynamic live pricing. Metals are priced on the London Metal Exchange and stream on kitcometals.com. Non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, brass, and stainless steel can be very volatile and change minute by minute. Sahd Metal Recycling will honor pricing deals no matter the market and if you lock in a number we will stand by our commitment. As always, ask for a bump in pricing for large quantities, we will give it if we can.
Commercial account pricing is established for each metal an industrial recycler typically scraps. An example is brass: if it is always pegged at 40% of the copper LME on kitcometals.com if copper is at $1.00 per pound the customer will earn .40/lb. At $5.00 per pound that same brass is worth $2.00 per pound. Each metal is based on a percentage based on cleanliness and quality of the alloy and how well the industrial customer can segregate the item.
Steel scrap pricing is typically established at the beginning of the month when the steel mills establish scrap pricing. Industrial recycling customers will have metal prices hold for the entire month based again on a formula percentage for their type of metal. Steel dumpsters can often include many different types of scrap steel and Sahd Metal Recycling is committed to sorting the metals to give us and our customers the greatest value for their load.
The steel, lite iron, cast iron, and rotors pricing is all considered ferrous metal pricing. It is based on the American Metal Market’s Fastmarkets publication. That publication takes numbers that are given by buyers and sellers of various grades of metals. Sahd Metal Recycling sets scale pricing and industrial scrap customer formulas on percentages of these categories. Here is a description of the process of the American Metal Market:
Founded to establish transparency in the metals markets, Fastmarkets AMM set the standard for price reporting over 130 years ago and, in the process, defined the benchmarks widely quoted today. Companies across the globe use our prices to negotiate contracts, purchase materials, understand future raw material costs, estimate project costs in proposals, perform inventory valuations, and create forecast models. Here’s why you should reference Fastmarkets AMM prices in your next report or contract. Learn more about how you can license our price data.
Honest principles. Strict adherence to an editorial code of conduct, pricing procedures, and clearly defined methodologies power every price published. These guiding principles lead our reporters to remain the most trusted in the business. Above and beyond our principles, Fastmarkets AMM’s pricing practices align with core IOSCO Principles for Price Reporting Agencies — a set of guidelines and best practices for price reporting promoted by the International Organization of Securities Commissions.
Distinguished price assessment. Pricing is the pinnacle of what we do. The prices we publish are a fair reflection of transaction values in the spot market. We maintain a rich network of contacts and apply a comprehensive price formation process. The assessed prices are not published until they have been peer-reviewed to ensure adherence to methodologies and pricing rigor.
Trusted benchmarks. We excel at assessing metals prices. No other brand offers more metals prices or a deeper price history than Fastmarkets AMM. Hedge financial risk, manage asset recovery, control material costs or negotiate your next contract using our prices. If you’d like to use our pricing and analysis in your contracts, reports, and calculations, you need a data license.
Market intelligence that matters. Behind every price change is an insightful explanation of the forces driving the markets. The news generated from our price reporting activities allows us to give our clients intelligence on trade issues, mergers & acquisitions, bankruptcies and supply chain woes — all factors that can have upward or downward pressure on metal prices.
Fastmarkets AMM publishes more than 1,400 proprietary metal prices including established benchmark prices trusted and used across the metals supply chain. In addition to our proprietary prices, we report on exchange prices for the London Metal Exchange, Nymex, Comex, Nasdaq, and Shanghai futures. (Separate data fees may apply.)
Referencing our pricing ensures continuity, consistency, and transparency in all your financial transactions. Supporting and enforcing our commitment to pricing integrity is an auditable database that allows us to monitor, review and approve every step in the price assessment process. The customer-facing product that resulted from our investment in this system, Price Tracker, is accessible through a license to Fastmarkets AMM pricing.

Scrap metal prices can be very volatile or stay consistent for months! In general steel pricing is set monthly based on the price we get for our scrap from the local steel mills and foundries. Non-ferrous metal pricing (copper, aluminum, stainless steel, etc) can change daily, based on market conditions. We update our prices each time they change, so whatever is on our website is our current offers. Often customers look up general trends in pricing at kitcometals.com for comparison as well.
The scrap metal price we are able to pay is based on the price we can get from the companies we sell to. As a scrap metal processor our role in the recycling process is to accept, sort and clean metals from industry and residents and create truckloads for sale to mills, foundries and other metal consumers for producing ingots, sows and billets of metal for reuse.
In general outside of some high nickel content stainless steel alloys, carbide and other more rare scrap metals the highest value metal that we recycle is bare brite copper scrap. Bare brite copper wire is shiny without oxidation or copper pateen and free of it’s rubber insulation and has a hard to bend nature unlike stripped welding lead which is copper hair wire. Other grades of metal are still very valuable and worth plenty of money but bare brite copper is often considered the top of the grade.
