Types of scrap in the rates list
Old scrap is commonly used for older or mixed iron and steel material. MS scrap usually means mild-steel scrap. End cutting is clean steel left after cutting or manufacturing. CRC scrap comes from cold-rolled steel sheet. Cast iron is a different type of iron found in some machine parts and heavy items.
Why each type has a different price
Clean steel pieces are different from mixed household iron. A buyer may pay more when the scrap is already sorted and does not contain much plastic, rubber or other waste.
Quantity also matters. A large load can be handled differently from a few household items because transport and sorting costs are different.
How to prepare scrap before selling
- Keep heavy steel separate from light mixed iron.
- Keep cast iron separate if you know which items are cast iron.
- Remove wood, plastic and rubber where it can be done easily.
- Do not mix copper or aluminium with iron. These metals have different prices.
- Ask which scrap type the buyer is using before accepting the rate.
How to compare two scrap offers
Do not compare only the rate. Check whether both buyers are using the same scrap type, the same weight and the same payment terms. A higher rate can still give a lower final amount if the buyer reduces the weight or places the material in a lower-priced category.
Common questions
Is there one Mandi Gobindgarh scrap rate for every type of iron?
No. Different types of iron and steel can have different prices.
Why is end cutting often priced differently from mixed scrap?
End cutting is usually clean steel left after cutting work, so it can be easier to sort and sell than mixed scrap.
Should I check the rate again on the day I sell?
Yes. Scrap prices can move, so confirm the rate before the material is weighed and taken away.
