Why do scrap metal prices change? Here’s what impacts what you earn:
1. Global Demand
Prices fluctuate based on manufacturing needs worldwide. Copper and aluminium are particularly sensitive.
2. Metal Purity & Grade
Clean, sorted metal is worth more. Painted or contaminated metal? Lower value.
3. Local Market Supply
Supply and demand in Burnley affect what KDS can offer on any given day.
4. Weight
Larger quantities fetch higher bulk prices.
5. Processing Costs
The less we have to clean or dismantle, the more we pay you.
