Lead scrap in Mississippi
The Mississippi market for lead scrap follows the state's mix of automotive manufacturing, forestry, and shipbuilding. 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. Across Mississippi, dozens of yards accept lead; the largest clusters are in Magee, New Albany, and Jackson. Regional demand from secondary lead smelters and battery plate makers across the Southeast, plus nearby port access, supports steady lead buying in Mississippi. Posted prices on this page are national averages updated daily; Mississippi yards set their own rates around them based on volume, prep, and freight, so call ahead with your grade and weight for a firm quote.
