Scrap Metal Prices Per Pound in Arizona

Factors Affecting Scrap Metal Prices Per Pound in Arizona

Purity and condition of the metal

A number of factors determine the price of scrap metal, but the purity and condition of the metal are two of the most important.

The higher the purity of the metal, the higher the price will be. It takes more work to separate the pure metal from the impurities, so the buyer is paying for the extra labor.

The condition of the metal also affects its price. If the metal is corroded or rusted, it will be worth less than if it is in relatively good condition. This is because it will take more time and effort to clean and process the metal.

Weight of the metal

The weight of a scrap metal affects its price because the heavier it is, the more valuable it is assumed to be. Heavier metals also yield a higher price per pound. For this reason, a scrap metal dealer will pay more for a pound of scrap copper than they will for a pound of aluminium.
