There's no shortage of ways to move scrap: a local yard, a broker, a classifieds ad. Here's what you actually get by trading on ScrapTrade instead, in plain terms, not a feature list.
On this page
Payment sits in escrow from the moment a deal is confirmed and only releases once pickup or delivery is confirmed. Neither side is exposed before the other follows through.
A local yard gives you one quote from one buyer on one day. ScrapTrade puts your listing in front of multiple verified buyers who compete for it, so the price reflects actual demand.
The same account works across 10 countries and 20 currencies. You're not limited to whoever happens to have a yard nearby.
A homeowner clearing a garage and a dealer moving tonnes a week use the same platform. No minimum quantity, no separate tier you have to qualify for.
Trust isn't a badge on the homepage. It's three specific mechanisms that apply to every deal, automatically:
Every listing is verified with geolocated video before it goes live.
Funds are held securely and only released once delivery is confirmed.
Verified trader badges show you exactly who you're dealing with.
What traders look for before they deal with someone new
It can feel that way, but simple often means one quote with no way to check whether it's fair. ScrapTrade adds the same live price reference and competing offers a yard doesn't give you, without adding extra steps to actually sell.
General classifieds weren't built for scrap: no grading, no escrow, no seller verification, no way to run a competitive auction. Every part of ScrapTrade, from listings to payment, is built specifically around how scrap actually trades.
No. Individual sellers clearing household or workshop scrap use the same platform as scrap dealers and yards trading in bulk. Business accounts can add a verification badge, but it isn't required to buy or sell.
Every listing goes through GPS-tagged video verification before it's published, and traders can carry identity (KYC) and business verification badges. Combined with escrow, this is a materially higher bar than a phone call and a handshake.
