New Orleans, LA Scrap Metal Prices

New Orleans is a port city located on the southeastern side of Louisiana. It is the most populous city (approximate population 380,000) in the state and acts as an economic and commercial hub for the region. Major cities close to it are Lafayette and Baton Rouge to the northeast.

The city is a world renowned city, famous for its vibrant nightlife, unique cuisine, annual celebrations, festivals, pop culture, and its contribution to the film industry. It also has one of the most diversified and unique economies in the state, which contributes to the scrap metal market in the city.

Since New Orleans is home to numerous manufacturing facilities, and a busy port, selling scrap metal should be a profitable business here. There are many scrap yards in the city many of which will offer good prices for your materials; however, it’d be good to get recommendations from people around, as some of them are not reputable.
