Let’s be honest: when you sell scrap metal, it can easily get a little “sketchy”. Maybe you’re not sure if the prices are fair, or you’re left wondering whether the scale is accurate. And let’s face it, long wait times and unclear payouts don’t help the situation.
Here’s the thing: metal recycling doesn’t have to be like that. At Richmond Steel, we keep it straightforward: accurate scales, transparent pricing, and a process that respects your time. When you go to sell scrap metal, it should be easy, fair, and worth your while.
When you’re selling scrap metal, trust is everything. After all, if you can’t rely on the scale or the pricing, how do you know you’re getting a fair deal?
We decided talking about trust isn’t enough, so we made sure there’s no room left for doubt. At Richmond Steel, our scales are certified for trade, meaning they’re regularly tested and verified for accuracy by authorized service providers accredited by Measurement Canada.
Here’s the kicker: when you bring in your scrap metal, you can watch the weighing process yourself. No mystery, no guessing—just complete transparency.
Let’s talk numbers. One of the biggest frustrations when you sell scrap metal is feeling like the pricing doesn’t add up. How much are you actually getting paid? How do scrap metal prices compare to market rates? Too often, the answers are unclear and that’s a problem—especially when some scape metals are way more valuable.
At Richmond Steel, we break down exactly what you’re getting and explain the “spread”, the difference between market rates and the prices we pay.
No hidden fees, no vague explanations. Just straightforward, competitive rates.
