Know what your scrap is worth before you load up.

They're our posted buy prices. Every load is inspected at the scale and paid at the price of the description it matches: copper with solder or paint, for example, is paid as #2 copper, not bare bright. Call before you drive in and we'll confirm today's price for what you have.

Our prices follow the metals markets and are set in our own scale system. Copper, brass and aluminum move with commodity prices; catalytic converters follow platinum, palladium and rhodium. Each material description has its own price, and your payout is that price times the weight.

Prices vary by yard and change often, so compare posted prices and call ahead. MR. STAC posts its live buy prices here and will match a licensed SC competitor's written quote.

You're paid on the spot, once your load is weighed and graded at the scale. South Carolina law limits cash payments for some metals, such as copper and catalytic converters, so the payment method can depend on what you sell. Ask when you call.

No minimums at the yard: bring in a bucket of fittings or a trailer load.

Sort your metals, strip insulated wire if it's worth your time, and remove steel, plastic and other attachments. Clean, separated material matches a higher-priced description. For big loads, call ahead so we can plan the pickup and confirm the price.

Bring a valid government photo ID; South Carolina requires ID for scrap metal sales. Vehicles need a title or the paperwork that replaces it. Some sellers of non-ferrous metal also need a permit to transport and sell it, issued by the county sheriff.

Yes, with the paperwork South Carolina law requires for a used, detached converter. That includes the VIN of the vehicle it came from and your title or registration showing the vehicle is yours. Converter prices depend on the model, so call with the serial number for a price.

For large loads, yes. Businesses and anyone with a large load can call for pickup, and we'll confirm the details and any charge.
