For Auto Wreckers
Steel, aluminium, and cast iron come off every end-of-life vehicle in roughly the same proportions. List it, price it against today's market, and reach buyers who compete for it.
The body and structure, by far the largest share by weight.
Engine blocks and machined components.
Wheels, engine parts, and increasingly the body panels on newer vehicles.
Modern recycling facilities recover over 95% of a vehicle's total weight, and the fragmented non-ferrous mix left after shredding, aluminium, copper, lead, zinc, and more together, is a real, tradeable category in its own right, known in the industry as Zorba.
Clean aluminium extrusion or copper cable listed separately will typically outperform the same metals sold as an unsorted mix. If you're already sorting non-ferrous material off the line, listing it by grade instead of as a single mixed lot is usually worth the extra step.
Whether it's one vehicle a week or a high-volume yard, escrow holds payment until pickup or delivery is confirmed on every listing, the same protection whether it's your first sale or your five-hundredth. Check today's reference prices before you list.
Roughly 600kg of steel, 90kg of aluminium, and around 10kg of cast iron in a typical end-of-life vehicle, the exact mix varies by make and age. Modern recycling facilities recover over 95% of a vehicle's total weight once it's fully processed.
Zorba is the industry term for the fragmented non-ferrous mix left after a vehicle is shredded, aluminium, copper, lead, zinc, and other metals all mixed together. It's a real, tradeable category in its own right and grades differently from sorted, single-metal material, worth knowing if you're pricing shredder output specifically.
Sorted material grades and prices higher, the same principle that applies to every scrap category. Clean aluminium extrusion or copper cable listed separately will typically outperform the same metals sold as an unsorted mix.
Yes. Whether you're processing one vehicle a week or running a high-volume yard, listings and buyer requests work the same way, and you can run a live auction on larger lots if you want competing offers to set the price.
Check today's reference price before you list or accept an offer, rather than relying on what one buyer tells you it's worth. Every listing also reaches multiple verified buyers, so the price reflects actual competing demand.
