Website Use

This website provides general information about Scrap Metal Exchange's services and location. Pricing is not published on this site; all prices are determined at the time of an in-person transaction based on current market rates and material condition.

Transactions

All scrap metal transactions are conducted in person at our Tempe facility and are subject to Arizona state law, including identification, recordkeeping, and payment requirements described on our What To Bring page. Arizona law (A.R.S. §44-1642) requires every seller to show a valid government photo ID, and sellers must be at least 16 years old. We record each transaction, including a photocopy of the ID, a photograph of the seller and of the material, a fingerprint, and the plate of the delivery vehicle, and we issue a receipt. Cash is available for most transactions under $300, limited to one cash transaction per person per day. Transactions of $300 or more, all industrial accounts, copper or aluminum wire 3/8" or thicker, and any transaction involving air conditioner cooling coils are paid by check or money order mailed to the address on the seller's ID. Catalytic converters are held in original form for at least 7 days after purchase.
