I weigh all my nonferrous metal on an old school medical scale. It is extremely accurate. I call ahead for pricing every time I do a drop off. Scrap it is usually the highest phone quote. I weighed my 5 gallon bucket empty. It weighs 2 lbs. I added 25.5 lbs. of copper. I have over 500 lbs in stock but I was checking the companies integrity. So, I brought my 27.5 lb bucket in to cash it along with some brass, wire, aluminum ect ect....everything weighed on my medical scale. I was paid for the correct weight on my aluminum only. They compensated on my copper,brass and wire all exactly 3 lbs light. So instead of getting $3.06 per pound it worked out to around $2.60. It was below the lowest of 5 scrap yards that I called on that day. I am very disappointed with Scrap It of Worcester. I'll test them again sometime, but I will have my ducks in a row to pursue legal action if they pull that crap on me again. It's hard work and very unfair for the business to short change their customers. End of tune. Thanks for reading read more
