Frequently asked about steel & iron in Nevada

How do I get the highest steel & iron price in Nevada?
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 Nevada yards on the same day.
What prep gets the highest steel & iron price at a Nevada yard?
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.
What do Nevada yards require from sellers of steel & iron?
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.
