What Is a Scrap Metal Broker?

A scrap metal broker acts as your advocate in the recycling market. Instead of guessing where to send material or whether pricing is fair, a broker manages the entire process on your behalf.

This includes evaluating materials, securing competitive market pricing, coordinating transportation, and ensuring timely, documented payment. The result is less disruption to your operation and more predictable scrap revenue.
