Know Your Metals: Value Varies

Not all metals are created equal in the scrap world. Some metals are significantly more valuable than others. Here's a quick rundown of what to expect:
Copper : One of the most valuable metals. Clean copper wires and pipes can fetch top prices.
Brass : Commonly found in plumbing fixtures, it’s also highly sought after.
Aluminium : Lightweight and used in cans, window frames, and more.
Stainless Steel : A common scrap material with reasonable value.
Lead : Found in old pipes, car batteries—heavier but still valuable.
