Lead scrap in Georgia
In Georgia, lead reaches the scrap stream by way of automotive manufacturing, logistics, food processing, and forestry. Yards price lead by grade: Lead (Soft) and Lead Wheel Weights. Keep Lead (Soft) apart from Lead Wheel Weights and mixed loads, because a mixed pile is paid at the lowest grade in it. Dozens of yards in Georgia list lead among what they buy, with the widest choice around Atlanta, Marietta, and Savannah. Southeast mills and Gulf and Atlantic ports give Georgia yards short shipping legs to the buyers of secondary lead smelters and battery plate makers. Use the national averages here as your baseline. Individual Georgia yards move with volume, cleanliness, and local freight, and a quick call with your grade and weight gets you an exact number.
