Understanding Scrap Prices

How Scrap Metal
Prices Work

Scrap metal prices in Ardmore and across the Texoma region are driven by commodity markets — primarily the London Metal Exchange (LME) and CME Group futures contracts for copper and aluminum, and regional demand signals for ferrous metals like iron and steel. Prices at our Ardmore yard are updated regularly to reflect these market movements.

The price you receive is based on three key factors: the metal type and grade, the weight of your load, and the current market rate for that metal. Non-ferrous metals like copper, aluminum, and brass are weighed on precision indoor scales. Ferrous loads — iron, steel, and cast iron — are typically weighed on our truck scale and priced by the net ton or pound depending on volume.

Metal cleanliness significantly impacts your payout. A load of #1 copper with no insulation, solder, or attachments will pay the full #1 rate. That same copper with fittings or oxidation falls to #2. Knowing your grade before you arrive saves time and helps you present your metal in the best way possible. Our price calculator and metal grade guide can help you identify exactly what you have.

📊
Market Driven

Prices follow global commodity markets. Copper, aluminum, and brass move with LME and CME futures. Iron and steel track regional mill demand. Prices can shift daily or weekly.

Grade Matters

Metal grade — how clean and pure the material is — directly affects your payout. Bare bright copper pays more than copper with fittings. Clean aluminum pays more than contaminated mixed scrap.

⚖️
Certified Scales

Every load at Texoma Recycling is weighed on certified digital scales. You see the weight, the grade, and the price per pound before any transaction is finalized. No surprises.

Scrap metal prices can change daily or weekly depending on commodity market movement. Copper and aluminum are the most volatile, often moving with global LME futures. Iron and steel prices tend to shift more slowly. We update our prices regularly to stay current with the market.

Non-ferrous metals consistently pay the most per pound. #1 Copper, bare bright wire, and nickel alloys are typically at the top. Aluminum and brass follow. Ferrous metals like iron and steel pay less per pound but can add up quickly on large loads. Use our price calculator to compare today's rates.

Local yards can vary slightly in how they grade metals and what categories they break materials into. The underlying commodity market prices are the same for everyone. Differences come from grading standards, scale accuracy, and overhead. We price fairly and consistently on every transaction at our Ardmore yard.
