Scrap Radiator Prices
Selling your scrap radiator has never been easier! To give you that extra peace of mind that you’re receiving the best possible price for your scrap radiator metals, we base all of our scrap metal prices on the world centre for industrial metal hedging, trading and pricing – the London Metal Exchange (LME).
What is the London Metal Exchange?
The LME sets the global standard for scrap metal prices, responding to economic changes as they happen, to ensure you never miss out on a best-value price. Operating within a well-defined governance structure, the LME combines the physical industry with the financial community to create a stronger and more controlled market where there is always a buyer, seller, standardised price and the choice to transfer or take on risk, 24/7.
The majority of all non-ferrous metal-related business is transacted via the LME’s trading platforms. Designed with the metal community in mind, LME prices reflect the nature and timing of bilaterally negotiated metal trades. By basing all of our prices on the LME, we are always up-to-date with any changes to the scrap metal market, ensuring you get the best price paid for your scrap radiator.

How Does Scrap Radiator Recycling Work?
Our specialist team of scrap metal buyers and merchants have built up over 30 years of nurtured experience in both ferrous and non-ferrous local and corporate scrap metal recycling. Hence, scrap radiator recycling is a process our scrap metal merchants are well-versed with here at Kas Metal Trading. If you need to replace your old radiator, but want to receive something back in return, visit our scrap metal yard today!
The process of recycling your scrap radiator starts with weighing in the components and grading the metal to determine how much it is worth. This price is always based on the London Metal Exchange. Pure metals that are clean, unalloyed and separate from non-metal attachments are worth more than contaminated or mixed scrap metal.
Once your scrap radiator parts have been through our metal analysis system, our merchants will provide you with an accurate and fully compliant weigh-in ticket. If you are happy with the weighing, grading and pricing, our friendly and efficient scrap metal merchants will explain our wide range of prompt and flexible payment options to you, so you can choose one that works for you. One of our most popular options is the Pre-Paid Card method – the card is uploaded with funds at the point of weigh-in, and you can use the card to withdraw money, or even use it as a debit card!

Radiator Recycling: FAQs
To prepare your scrap radiators for recycling, we would recommend:
- Drain all fluids: Drain your radiator of all fluids, including water and anti-corrosion inhibitor, or thermal oil/glycol fluid if your radiator is electric or oil-filled, to ensure these substances don’t leak into the environment.
- Remove non-metal attachments: It’s essential to remove any non-metal parts, such as plastic or rubber components, to ensure the metal can be processed efficiently.
- Cast Iron: Most older radiators are made of cast iron due to their robustness and ability to retain heat well. While iron is not as valuable as copper for example, it can still fetch a decent price at the scrap yard due to its weight and high demand in manufacturing. However, iron is prone to rust, so make sure you remove it before your visit for a better price.
- Steel: Newer radiators often consist of lightweight steel, offering a modern alternative to iron. Again, while not as valuable as its non-ferrous counterparts, steel remains a staple, high-volume and in-demand resource for recycling.
- Aluminium: Some modern radiators are made of aluminium, often chosen for its lightweight nature, corrosion-resistance and recyclability. One of the most valuable non-ferrous scrap metals, aluminium usually fetches a high price due to its demand.
- Do Your Bit for the Environment: Radiator recycling stops scrap taking up significant space in landfills, prevents soil contamination, protects natural habitats and biodiversity, and reduces carbon emissions.
- Maximise Your Return: Scrap radiator recycling doesn’t only ensure a compliant, eco-friendly way to reduce your company’s waste, but it also gives you something in return for your leftover materials! To ensure you’re receiving a competitive rate, our prices are always based on the London Metal Exchange.
- Free Up Storage Space: If you don’t have site storage to spare, recycling your scrap radiator frees up room for more materials, tools and scrap metal.
