Nobody likes it when their property is run down, filled with extra stuff, or looks just plain bad. You know your scrap has value, but it is not valuable sitting on your property.

Effective March 1, 2024; a scrapped vehicle will be considered either a complete carbody or sheet iron. If the vehicle has BOTH a motor and transmission it is considered a complete carbody. If the vehicle is missing either it will be considered sheet iron.
All vehicles need a clear signed-off title and a hole in the gas tank if you are hauling to us.
Everyone loves some extra money—whether it’s for a small load or semi-full. Fair Salvage will assess your raw materials and give you a cash voucher you can use for your next project, a nice meal, or vacation…the possibilities are endless.
When you are thinking about ferrous scrap, it makes more sense to think of it as priced per pound.
If sheet iron is $100 per net ton, we can break that into the price per pound. Take the $100 and divide that by 2000 for a net ton. You should come up with $0.05 per pound. Now, if you take that same 5 cents per pound and multiply that by 2240 for a gross ton, you will arrive at $112. So, the same 5 cents per pound is $100 per net ton and $112 per gross ton. It’s the same price per pound, but a gross ton has more pounds in it. That is why the dollar amount is larger than a net ton, as there are more pounds included per one gross ton. For example:
2000 / $100 = $0.05
2240 * $0.05 = $112
Fair Salvage purchases steel from our customers in gross tons as that is how the steel mills require us to sell to them.
2000 / $100 = $0.05
2240 * $0.05 = $112
