Before you book
- Sort metals before you go: clean copper and brass fetch far more per kilo than mixed steel.
- Prices move with world commodity markets, so ask for the current rate on the day.
- Bring photo ID — most dealers record seller details, especially for copper and other high-value metals.
- Car bodies and gas bottles have specific handling rules; check before loading them.
