Merrillville Metal Recycling buys ferrous and non-ferrous metals. We pay for these materials based on weight; ferrous scrap metals, which are not only iron and iron-based steel items, but also magnetic, are priced by the ton. Non-ferrous scrap metals – which include aluminum, copper, brass, and other specialty metals – are priced by the pound.

The price we pay for scrap metals is determined by several factors, including:

• The grade of the material,
• The cost to procure your material, and
• The cost to process your scrap for sale to the mills and foundries that buy from us.

The more effective you are in preparing your scrap in a manner that reduces our procurement and processing costs, the higher the price we are able to pay for your materials.

Our prices are based on globally published commodity indexes. In accordance with best business practices, providing transparent pricing helps you understand the value of your waste materials. By using index-based pricing, we can build a settlement processes that allow your business to hedge risks, helping you establish predictable cash flows.

Because Merrillville Metal Recycling is a privately funded company, we are able to tailor the contract terms to satisfy your business needs. We understand that the value recovered from your scrap commodities is an integral part of your business. As such, it’s our job to pay you on time, every time, and to find the best end-markets to ensure highest prices are paid.

We understand that decommissioning, demolition, and asset recovery projects can be capital intensive and have a serious impact on your cash flows. It’s our goal to have you win the bid. By providing cash advances, we alleviate the up-front financial obstacles so your revenue streams can be realized. We support the success of your project and provide financial assistance at every turn.
