Buy and sell scrap across Europe

European Scrap Market is the hub of Europe's scrap metal network. When you submit a request on any site in the network, it lands here. A verified scrap yard in your country picks up the case and contacts you directly, often the same day. You see who reaches out and decide for yourself whether to do business — with no obligation.

No. Submitting a request and being contacted by a scrap yard is completely free and without obligation for you as a seller. It is the scrap yards that pay for the leads they accept.

All common metal scrap: copper, brass, aluminium, stainless steel (304/316), iron and steel, cable, and mixed production scrap from industry and workshops. Yards in the network handle both single batches and recurring container volumes.

Metal prices are driven by the world market (LME) and change daily. The price is also affected by the purity of the fraction, the quantity, and the transport distance. The yard that takes your case gives you a current daily price — and you are never locked in. If you decline, the case can pass to another yard.

Log in with the same email address you provided in your request, and you will see your requests and which yard has taken your case in your portal. We email a secure login link — no password needed.

Before a yard takes the case, it only sees what is needed to assess the batch: material, approximate weight, and country. Once a verified yard takes your case, it gets your contact details to reach out — but only that yard, never several at once, and never publicly. You decide whether to do business.

Yes — industrial, construction, and engineering companies use the network for production scrap, decommissioning, and site clearances. Yards offer both on-call collection and on-site containers with scheduled emptying, with settlement notes and correct waste documentation.

Apply directly in the portal: provide company details, environmental permit or waste transport registration, and accept the network's safety commitments — traceable payment, ID verification, and documentation. We review applications manually and activate the account, normally within one business day.

No. You are never locked in. If the price, yard, or arrangement does not suit you, simply decline. If you hear nothing, or are not helped, the case is released so another yard can take it.

Every yard is verified before it can accept requests: company registration, tax status, and permits are checked, and the yard commits to traceable payment without cash, ID checks, and documented transactions. Read more on the Trust page.
