How it works

Start with the market. Make it your yard.

  1. Get a market reference

    Check metal prices and price movements. These are commodity benchmarks; some metals use indicative references rather than a live feed.

  2. Enter a confirmed yard rate

    Ask your yard what it pays for your scrap. In My Yard, save a percentage of spot or dollars per pound. Each rate shows the date you confirmed it.

  3. Estimate before you load

    Choose a metal and enter its weight. Use your saved yard rate in the calculator to estimate the load’s value, then log the haul in the app.

See the My Yard and calculator screens

Your yard sets the buying price. Keep your saved rates current and contact the yard for an actual quote. Prices vary by region, grade, volume, and yard; estimates are not guaranteed payouts. Screenshots show example values. Scrap Metal Intel is a commodity reference tool, not financial, investment, or trading advice.
