Scrap metal prices are determined by a combination of factors:

1. Metal Type – Non-ferrous metals (copper, aluminum, brass) are more valuable than ferrous metals (steel, iron).

2. Purity / Grade – Cleaner, high-quality scrap fetches higher prices; mixed or contaminated scrap lowers value.

3. Weight / Volume – Larger quantities often get better rates due to easier processing and transport.

4. Market Demand – Local and global demand for specific metals influences prices.

5. Global Commodity Prices – International metal prices, exports, and currency exchange rates affect local scrap values.

6. Processing Costs – Metals requiring extra cutting, sorting, or cleaning may have lower rates.

7. Location / Transport Costs – Scrap yards adjust prices based on how easy or costly it is to transport the metal.

These factors combine to determine the price you receive per kilogram or ton at Maningi Scrap Metals.
