Scrap Lead Pricing
Understanding these factors helps you know what to expect for your lead scrap.
LEAD PURITY
Pure sheet lead commands best prices. Lead with minimal contamination (steel, copper, roofing felt) receives premium rates. Clean lead always preferred.
LEAD CODE & THICKNESS
Thicker lead (Code 6-8) weighs more per area but all codes pay well. Code doesn't significantly affect price per kilogram. Weight matters most.
CONTAMINATION
Lead attached to felt, battens, or nails reduces value. Remove heavy contamination if easily separated. Light contamination acceptable.
MARKET CONDITIONS
Lead prices fluctuate with London Metal Exchange. Our pricing reflects current market rates. Lead maintains good stable value.
