Metal Analysis: Frequently Asked Questions

How much is scrap metal worth?

The value of scrap metal is never fixed, and may fluctuate. The amount of money your scrap metal is worth depends on the quantity, type and quality of the material.

How do I identify scrap metal?

The simplest way to categorise metals is by dividing them into ferrous and non-ferrous groups. This can be determined by testing them with magnets. If they are magnetic, they are ferrous. If not, they are non-ferrous.

You can also look at the colour of the metal, its weight and the way in which it rusts – as well as its previous use. If you still can’t work out exactly what your metal is, you may need to get it professionally tested. 

Maxilead Metals may be able to help you identify your metals – so don’t hesitate to get in touch.
