How do I get the highest lead price in Wyoming?
Clean material earns the top of the board: remove steel clips, zinc alloy substitutes, and dirt, separate Lead (Soft) from lower grades, and bring ID. Calling two or three Wyoming yards with your exact grade and weight usually surfaces the highest rate.
What prep gets the highest lead price at a Wyoming yard?
Sorting is the single biggest lever: keep grades apart, strip steel clips, zinc alloy substitutes, and dirt, and avoid mixing in anything the yard has to hand-sort. Dry, clean loads weigh and price honestly.

Scrap yards routinely ask for a government photo ID and record the sale, and state law often requires it for metal purchases. Bring ID, expect a photo of the load, and ask whether the yard pays cash or check.
