Terms
These concise terms describe the limits of the free calculation tools provided by Scrap Value Calc.
Estimates only
Calculator outputs are mathematical estimates based on the values and assumptions entered. They are not guaranteed measurements, appraisals or purchase offers.
Verify local conditions
Users should verify the current local price, accepted material, grade and facility requirements before transporting or selling scrap. Actual grades, contamination, moisture, preparation and payable weight can affect the final payout.
Local redemption rules
Container deposits and redemption programs can use rules that differ from ordinary scrap buying. Local laws, eligibility rules and redemption values can differ by location, so check the applicable program directly.
No scrap purchasing service
Scrap Value Calc provides calculation tools and informational content. Scrap Value Calc does not itself purchase scrap, arrange a sale, or guarantee what any scrap yard or recycler will pay.
Use with judgment
By using the site, you understand that inputs and local conditions may be incomplete or change over time. Use the output as a planning aid and confirm material and price details with the relevant buyer.
