Scrap Metal Prices

The most common question we are asked is “what do you pay for scrap metal?”. This guide should give you an idea as to what each metal type’s value is once recycled at one of our metal recycling facilities.

Please Note: Scrap metal prices change daily, please contact the yard for current pricing rates.

How is scrap metal priced?

Most scrap metal produced in New Zealand is exported to countries like China and the United States. Due to this the value per KG will fluctuate throughout the month with the NZ$, exchange rates and the level of demand. The prices we can sell scrap metal for change daily, which is why the below table may vary to the current price for that metal.

What can I expect to be paid for my scrap metal?

Although the rates fluctuate, we have provided a list below of the different metal types and grades that Ingot Metals trade in. If you are unsure of what grade your metal is, feel free to give us a call at either of our Petone or Levin yards for a more specific quote of your scrap’s value.
