For Demolition Contractors
Every ton of structural steel or light iron sent to landfill is a ton you paid a tipping fee on instead of a ton you got paid for. List it, sell it fast, and reach buyers who compete for it.
National average tipping fees run around $62 a ton, and regional variation pushes that considerably higher in some markets. Every ton of structural steel or light iron you separate and sell instead of landfilling is a ton you're not paying that fee on, on top of what the material itself is worth. Industry estimates put the disposal-cost reduction from on-site metal separation at roughly 20 to 40%, depending on the job.
A teardown doesn't wait for a single buyer to find time to inspect a load in person. List at a fixed price for a fast sale, or run a live auction if you've got volume worth letting buyers compete over. Either way, material doesn't sit around waiting on one relationship.
Payment is held in escrow until pickup or delivery is confirmed, so you're not waiting on an invoice or chasing a buyer for payment weeks after the material's already gone. Check today's reference prices before you list.
It can be substantial. National average tipping fees run around $62 a ton, and separating metal out before it goes to landfill avoids that cost entirely on top of whatever the scrap itself is worth. On a structural teardown, that combination, avoided disposal cost plus recovered value, is often bigger than the equipment line on the job.
Generally yes. Industry estimates put the disposal-cost reduction from on-site metal separation at roughly 20 to 40%, depending on project size and what's actually in the debris. Clean-separated material also grades higher than metal pulled out of mixed loads later.
List it at a fixed price for a quick sale, or run a live auction if you've got volume and want competing offers. Either way, it doesn't need to sit on-site waiting for a single buyer to make time to inspect it in person.
No. Every listing reaches verified buyers who compete for it, so you're not stuck with whatever a single regular buyer offers that week. Check today's reference price before you list so you know what a fair number actually looks like.
It'll grade and price lower than clean, separated material, that's true everywhere, not just here. Where possible, separating on-site before listing is worth the labour cost in what it adds to the final price.
