Why Two Categories?

QuickStop Metals buys non-ferrous and ferrous scrap that has commercial recycling value at our depots. Metals shown in red are ones we actively buy — click through to see specific grade prices and information. Metals shown in grey are real elements but aren’t commercially viable for our scrap-yard model — usually because they exist only at trace concentrations, are radioactive, or require specialist processing facilities we don’t operate. Click through to learn the full story for each.
