How much is 1 kg of scrap metal worth?
Scrap metal prices per kg vary by metal type and grade, but generally, copper fetches the highest prices (e.g., £2-£3.50/kg for bright wire), followed by brass (£1-£2.10/kg) and aluminium (£0.50-£1.30/kg), with steel/iron being much lower (£0.08-£0.20/kg). Prices fluctuate daily, so it’s best to check with local scrap metal collectors for current rates, as they offer different rates for clean, sorted, and graded materials and they have to cover costs, so expect free pick up for small items.

Getting Rid of Scrap Metal in Glasgow
If you’ve got scrap metal cluttering up your garage, garden, or workspace around Glasgow, you’re probably wondering what to do with it. The good news is that getting rid of scrap metal in the city is straightforward, and you might even make a bit of money in the process.
First things first—not all scrap metal is the same. Some types are worth good money, while others are less valuable but still worth recycling. Copper, brass, and aluminium tend to fetch a price, while everyday steel and iron are less valuable but still accepted at scrap yards.
When you’re ready to sell, look for a licensed scrap yard like Avram Metal Recycling Glasgow. Working with a licensed dealer matters because it ensures you’re dealing with a legitimate business that follows proper environmental and legal standards. Whether you’re coming from Maryhill, Shawlands, or over from Paisley way, you’ll find that reputable yards pay electronically rather than in cash, which is actually better for everyone—it’s safer, traceable, and helps prevent metal theft across Glasgow and the surrounding areas.
Before you head to the scrap yard, it’s worth spending a few minutes sorting your metal. The main thing to know is the difference between ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Ferrous metals contain iron—think steel, cast iron, and anything that sticks to a magnet. Non-ferrous metals don’t contain iron and include aluminium, copper, brass, and stainless steel.
Why sort the metals? Well, non-ferrous metals typically command higher prices, and keeping them separate means you’ll get a better return. Even if you’re not fussed about the money, sorted metal is easier to recycle efficiently, which is better for the environment.
Maybe your scrap isn’t valuable enough to sell, or you’ve just got odds and ends that aren’t worth the trip. Scrap Metal Collectors collect it for free and the great thing is, they recycle it, fantastic for the environment, easy peasy for you and the chap makes a living too. Glasgow has several recycling centres that accept scrap metal free of charge—places like the Polmadie Recycling Centre or Dawsholm up near Maryhill. It’s a responsible way to dispose of metal items without them ending up in landfill, where they’ll sit for hundreds of years.
Large Amounts of Scrap Metals
If you’re dealing with a significant amount of metal—perhaps you’re clearing out a workshop in Govan, renovating a property in Dennistoun, or finally tackling that mountain of scrap that’s been building up in your back green—you might want to consider a collection service. Many scrap metal businesses offer pickups for larger quantities across Glasgow, East Dunbartonshire, Renfrewshire, and beyond. It’s worth giving Avram Metal Recycling Glasgow a call to discuss what you’ve got and whether a collection makes sense.
Don’t Forget About Reuse and Recycling
Before you recycle everything, have a quick think about whether any items could be reused. Old tools, metal furniture, or architectural salvage might be welcomed by local charities, community projects around the Southside, or people renovating older properties in the West End. It’s always worth asking around—what’s scrap to you might be exactly what someone else needs.
From steel and iron to copper & bronze.
Dealing with scrap metal doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether you’re in Springburn, Partick, or out in Rutherglen, and whether you’re looking to make some money from valuable metals or simply want to dispose of items responsibly, Glasgow has plenty of options. Just remember to use licensed dealers like Avram Metal Recycling Glasgow, sort your metals when you can, and think about reuse before recycling. Your scrap metal doesn’t have to be a problem—it’s actually a resource waiting to be put back to good use.
