Sell Your Scrap on ScrapTrade →Browse the FAQsMost scrap yards will not tell you exactly how they arrive at a price — why a radiator gets a blended guess instead of a real split, why boat aluminium gets downgraded, or whether that wire you are selling is actually steel-cored cable in disguise. This site breaks it down question by question, written for someone about to sell, not a recycling textbook.
When you are ready to sell without driving between yards for quotes, ScrapTrade connects you directly with verified aluminium buyers online — list once, compare real offers, and get paid through secure escrow instead of a handshake.
