To know the average price of scrap metal you have to specify the type of scrap metal you have.

There are many types of scrap metals. Scrap metal is a large term that encompasses non ferrous and ferrous scrap metals. There are ferrous (iron, steel, Heavy Melt Scrap (HMS) and non ferrous (copper, tin, aluminum, brass, bronze) metals. A magnet will stick to ferrous metals and will NOT stick to non-ferrous scrap metals.

Keep in mind most ferrous scrap metals are priced in dollars per ton whereas non ferrous metals are priced in dolarrs per pound.

Once you know what type of scrap metal you have then you can get an average.

Prices will also vary from area to area and region to region depending upon market conditions.

Ferrous metals include iron and steel and non-ferrous scrap includes copper, aluminum, brass, bronze to name a few.

Scrap prices vary per country and within countries per region. Prices are ties to the general world economy as well as the LME and Comex price markets.

At any given time prices for scrap metals can vary and do fluctuate, especially copper which recently has had some wild swings.

There are many sources online where you can obtain the current and daily scrap prices.
