This scrap copper calculator multiplies pounds by the price per pound you type. The same form is a scrap metal calculator for steel, aluminum, or a mixed grade, and a scrap metal price calculator when the question is dollars. The price is yours. It is not a live yard board.
Gross metal value

Planning estimate from the numbers you enter. Coverage, density, waste and price are assumptions, not a supplier quote or an engineering specification.
How it works
One hundred pounds at $3.50 per pound is $350.00. Those are the fields already filled in, as a copper example. Change the price when the metal is steel, aluminum, or a lower grade of copper. A yard’s discount for contamination, a minimum load, and the difference between a delivered price and a picked-up price are not in the formula. Karat gold is a different unit. Use the scrap gold calculator for grams and karat. This page stays in pounds so a recycling shop can price a bale or a gaylord before it hits the scale.
Formula
There is no hidden discount. If the yard pays 80 percent of the posted number, type 80 percent of that number as the price. The scrap metal price calculator result is only as current as the price you typed.
Example
The scrap copper calculator shows $350.00. At $0.08 per pound, the same 100 pounds of light iron is $8.00. The page does not know which metal the pounds are.
Tips
Insulated wire, irony aluminum, and clean copper do not share a price. Weigh after the sort you will actually sell. Moisture and dirt add pounds the yard will not pay as metal.
Equipment
Dengaro arranges equipment financing for a baler, a shear, or other recycling equipment. The metal value is not sent as a loan amount.
Important questions
No. It is a placeholder so the scrap copper calculator has a number. Type the price on the yard sheet you are using.
Here they are the same arithmetic. Copper, steel, and aluminum all use pounds times a price. Only the price changes.
Only if you put the discount into the price per pound. The headline is weight times that price, with nothing else taken off.
On the scrap gold calculator. Grams and karat do not belong in a per-pound field.
