PRICING

What Affects the Price of Lead Scrap?

We do not publish fixed prices because metal prices change with global markets. These are the factors that move your quote. See also our scrap metal prices guide.

Purity

Soft, clean lead returns the most. Lead mixed with solder, steel or paint is graded lower.

Weight and form

Sheet and pipe are simple to weigh. Small mixed pieces are graded by content.

Quantity and market

Price follows the global lead market. Bulk, easy-access loads are quicker to collect.
GET IT READY

How to Prepare Your Lead for Pickup

A little sorting makes pickup faster and can improve what you are paid.
Before we buy: photo ID and a record of purchase are required. Payment is by bank transfer (EFT). Ferrous scrap (iron and steel) is only considered in bulk loads of 50 tonnes or more per load.
