Top 5 Valuable Scrap Metals & How to Identify Them

Want to make the most money from your scrap in Burnley? Here’s what to look out for:

1. Copper

The most valuable scrap metal. Look for red/orange colour and weight. Often found in wires and plumbing.

2. Brass

Golden-yellow, often confused with gold! Found in fittings, plumbing, door handles.

3. Aluminium

Lightweight, dull silver. Found in cans, window frames, car parts.

4. Lead

Heavy and dull grey. Found in old roofing materials and batteries.

5. Stainless Steel

Found in kitchen items and tools. Use a magnet — if it doesn’t stick, it’s likely non-ferrous and more valuable.
