Scrap metal prices in Ireland change regularly. The final value depends on the grade, weight, cleanliness and current market demand for each material. Clean, separated non-ferrous metals such as bright copper, copper pipe, brass and aluminium can achieve stronger rates than mixed or contaminated loads.
Wilton Recycling buys ferrous and non-ferrous scrap from households, tradespeople, farms and businesses across Ireland. Whether you have old electrical cable, plumbing copper, aluminium wheels, stainless steel, lead, machinery or mixed metals, our team can assess your load and give you a confirmed price.
For the best scrap price, separate metals where possible and remove non-metal materials such as plastic, rubber, timber and excess dirt. This helps us grade your scrap correctly and can improve its value.
