Frequently asked about steel & iron in Florida

How do I get the highest steel & iron price in Florida?
Sort by grade before you arrive, strip attached copper wiring, oil residue, and sealed containers, and keep Steel (Heavy Melt) separate from Light Iron / Sheet. Weigh your load yourself, ask for the price per grade rather than a lump sum, and compare two or three Florida yards on the same day.

Separate grades, remove attached copper wiring, oil residue, and sealed containers, 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.
