Which scrap yards in New Hampshire buy lead?
The yards listed on this page accept lead. In New Hampshire the largest number of buyers to compare are around Manchester, Hudson, and Nashua. Call ahead to confirm which grades a yard takes and whether it is open for public drop-off.
How do I get the highest lead price in New Hampshire?
Sort by grade before you arrive, strip steel clips, zinc alloy substitutes, and dirt, and keep Lead (Soft) separate from Lead Wheel Weights. Weigh your load yourself, ask for the price per grade rather than a lump sum, and compare two or three New Hampshire yards on the same day.
What prep gets the highest lead price at a New Hampshire yard?
Separate grades, remove steel clips, zinc alloy substitutes, and dirt, and keep loads dry. Yards pay for the grade they can see, so mixed or dirty material is priced at the lowest grade in the pile.
What do New Hampshire yards require from sellers of lead?
