ScrapMetal Intel

New: hourly spot prices for copper, aluminum, brass, steel, lead, zinc & nickel. Alerts, transaction log, and yard payout estimator. No ads, ever.

ScrapMetal Intel is the clean, ad-free price reference for people who actually handle scrap metal — peddlers making rounds, small-yard operators, estate cleanout crews, and hobbyist recyclers who just want to know what their haul is worth before they drive to the yard.

Stop eyeballing prices off yesterday's newspaper. Stop paying $49/month for yard-management software you don't need. Stop wading through ad-choked websites. ScrapMetal Intel does one thing well: tell you where spot prices are today, what they've been doing, and roughly what a yard should pay you for what's in your truck.

WHAT YOU GET

Hourly Spot Prices Current per-pound reference prices for the seven metals that matter — copper, aluminum, brass, steel, lead, zinc, and nickel. Pulled from published commodity exchange data and refreshed every hour.

Price Alerts Set thresholds on any metal — "notify me when copper crosses $4.25/lb" — and get a push notification the moment it happens. No limits, no gimmicks.

Daily Market Commentary A short, plain-English read on what each metal did yesterday and what's driving it. Seasonal context when relevant. No hype, no predictions, no "buy now" nonsense — just what's going on.

Transaction Log Log every haul: date, metal, grade, weight, price per pound, yard, notes. Running total tallies what you've earned. Export the whole thing as CSV for your accountant at tax time.

Yard Payout Calculator Enter how much you've got and what metal it is. See a typical yard pay range based on the current spot price.

WHO IT'S FOR

• Independent scrap peddlers making rounds • Estate cleanout and junk-removal crews • Small-yard operators who want a simple price reference • Farmers and homesteaders processing their own metal • Recyclers, tinkerers, DIY shop owners

WHAT IT IS NOT

ScrapMetal Intel is a commodity price reference, not a trading platform or financial advisor. We don't recommend buying or selling anything. We don't predict future prices. Spot prices reflect global commodity markets and are always higher than what a scrap yard pays.
