Whether you’re a contractor or a homeowner looking to get rid of some #1 heavy melting steel, the iScrap App can help you find a local scrap metal yard to bring it to and get the best prices. #1 heavy melting steel, also known as HMS, should be cut into manageable-sized pieces when delivering to a scrap yard and also if it is being loaded into a scrap container for pick up.
#1 Heavy metal steel does not contain galvanized and blackened steel and usually comes in set lengths. Prices for #1 heavy melting steel depend on the size and scrap metal yard you bring it to. To get the best #1 heavy melting steel pricing, use the iScrap App to contact local scrap metal yards. You should have your #1 steel prepared so when you get to your scrap yard you will be able to get the right price without having any problems with your material being prepared. Try to have the steel cut to 4-foot lengths to maximize your profits as well.
If you recently finished a construction project or remodel, the app can also help you schedule a pick up for your #1 heavy melting steel. See more Scrapping Videos here. If you are doing large demo projects you should always use the iScrap App to find what yard is close to you and how much money they are paying for heavy gauged steel and other ferrous items.
