What Local Trades Get From CJD’s St. Louis Scrap Metal Recycling Program

Nonferrous material from the metro St. Louis area is our core business. Here’s what sellers get when they drop off at our Edwardsville facility.

Competitive Payouts on Copper, Brass, and Aluminum
Nonferrous metal pricing at CJD is tied to current commodity values and settled on-site the same day you drop off. Copper grades, yellow brass, red brass, silver-plated items, and aluminum are the primary nonferrous categories we buy, with dealer pricing available for volume accounts above the standard retail rate.
Fast Drop-Off With No Appointment Needed
Pull into our drive-through facility in Edwardsville and our team handles the unloading, weighing, and pricing. Material is sorted on-site and payment is confirmed before you leave. Whether you’re dropping off a single load from a job or regular volume from ongoing work, the process is the same.
Transparent Pricing Based on Current Market Rates
Every payout is invoiced against current commodity values so you know exactly what your material is worth and why. Pricing is updated regularly as copper markets move. Call our facility before a large drop-off to confirm current rates.

Nonferrous vs Ferrous Scrap Metal: What It Means for Your Payout

For anyone bringing material to a St. Louis scrap metal recycling operation, knowing the difference between nonferrous and ferrous material helps you know what to expect. Nonferrous materials carry significantly higher per-pound value and are the focus of CJD’s buying program. Operations that generate both metal and electronic equipment can handle the electronics separately through commercial e-waste services.

Nonferrous Scrap Metal: Copper, Aluminum, Brass, and More

Copper, aluminum, brass, lead, and silver-plated items are the primary nonferrous materials at CJD’s St. Louis scrap metal recycling facility. Local electricians bring in copper wire and conduit, HVAC contractors bring ACR copper and A-coils, and plumbing, solar, and siding companies accumulate fittings, racking, and off-cuts. See current scrap metal prices before you load up the truck.

How Nonferrous Scrap Buyers Price Your Material

Nonferrous pricing is commodity-driven, primarily by copper, and updated regularly. CJD weighs and prices material on-site with transparent invoicing and same-day settlement. If your load includes electronic scrap alongside metal, the e-waste buying program prices circuit boards and devices separately, often at higher per-pound values than nonferrous metal.
