Why Scrap Sellers Are Losing Money Today
For most people with scrap to sell, whether a homeowner with old appliances, a demolition contractor with structural steel, or a recycler processing non-ferrous metals. The process of finding a fair price is broken. Sellers rely on a single local contact, accept the first offer, and have no way to know what their materials are genuinely worth on the open market.
The result is billions of dollars in unrealised scrap value lost every year, while recoverable materials end up in landfill. ScrapTrade was built to fix exactly that problem.

• A verified network of 600+ active buyers and traders across six global regions

• Personalised onboarding and first-deal support from the ScrapTrade team
• National and international market reach not just the nearest yard
“Within two days of listing, I had four offers for my copper and aluminium stock. I ended up selling for well above what any local buyer had offered me. ScrapTrade changed how I think about selling scrap.” — Scrap Recycler, New South Wales |
