📊 What determines the value of ferrous scrap (steel and iron):
- HMS #1 Prepared steel: The benchmark ferrous grade — clean, heavy plate, structural steel, and beam cut to spec. Highest per-ton rate.
- HMS #2 Unprepared: Larger, uncut sections; torched or shear-cut but not fully prepped — priced below HMS #1.
- Plate & structural (P&S): Thick plate, I-beams, and structural sections — often a premium grade or grouped with HMS #1 depending on the yard.
- Cast iron (heavy): Engine blocks, industrial castings — separate price from steel scrap. Cast iron is brittle; test with a file or hammer.
- Light iron & shredder: Thin-gauge sheet, auto bodies, appliances — the lowest ferrous grade. Priced per ton significantly below HMS.
- Rebar: Grade 40/60 rebar — may be priced as structural or light iron depending on condition and quantity.
