Did you know that proper preparation can increase the value of your scrap metal by up to 30%?
Many people collect metal materials without realizing that cleaning, sorting, and presenting them correctly is key to getting a better payment.
At Metalincrecycling, a leading company in the purchase of scrap metal in Cagua, Venezuela, we want to help you get the most out of every kilo of recyclable material.
Follow these practical tips and turn your scrap metal into a steady source of income.
Sort Metals by Type
The first step is to separate materials by type. Not all metal has the same value, and mixing them can cause the buyer to pay less for the entire lot.
The most common metals are:
Copper: The most valuable. It’s usually found in wires, motors, and pipes.
Aluminum: Present in window frames, cans, rims, or utensils.
Iron and Steel: Very common in appliances, structures, and vehicles.
Brass: Recognized by its dark golden color.
Lead and Batteries: Must be handled with care due to their chemical content.
💡 Tip: Use magnets to identify ferrous metals (attracted to the magnet) and non-ferrous metals (do not stick). Non-ferrous metals, like copper and aluminum, usually fetch a better price.
Clean and Remove Non-Metallic Materials
The cleaner the material, the higher its value.
Remove plastic, wood, paint, screws, or other attached non-metallic elements.
For example:
Remove the insulation from copper wires.
Separate metals from old appliances.
Remove plastic or rubber parts from frames and rims.
👉 At Metalincrecycling, we offer better prices for clean scrap metal without impurities, as it facilitates the industrial recycling process.
Weigh and Organize Your Scrap
If you have access to a scale, weigh the material before selling it. This will give you a clear idea of its value and prevent confusion.
Organize the scrap in bags, boxes, or containers according to the metal type.
A well-presented lot shows professionalism and allows you to negotiate with more confidence at the time of sale.
Store and Transport Safely
Store your scrap in a dry, ventilated place to prevent oxidation or deterioration.
If you are transporting large quantities, use gloves, safety shoes, and avoid unbalanced loads.
At Metalincrecycling, we can receive scrap directly at our facilities in Cagua or coordinate home pickups for larger volumes.
