How to read these prices. The grade prices above are real national-average US scrap prices published by ScrapMonster and refreshed daily; the headline number is the flagship #1 Bare Bright price. The Metals Markets board and charts are live from a market-data feed (each metal shown via its most-traded ETF). National averages are a guide — your local yard sets its own rate by region, volume, and the day, so always call ahead. We don’t buy or sell scrap.
