Virginia Scrap Metal Prices - USA

Between us the team here, we have over 50 years experience of working in the scrap metal industry, and working with people who need to learn about it as part of a business or are looking to get into selling scrap metal to make some extra cash. From the hundreds of people we have helped, only a tiny percentage has been interested in what we consider one of the most important questions when starting to sell scrap metal.

Depending on how much of a problem the buying and selling of stolen metal has caused within the state, the laws can vary massively.
