Separating ferrous from non-ferrous before visiting the scrap yard will increase your payout.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;How are scrap metal prices determined in New Zealand?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1597715670322-99f53985-0b5e&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]NZ scrap metal prices are set using London Metal Exchange (LME) rates denominated in USD, converted using the NZD\/USD exchange rate, then adjusted for shipping costs and local supply and demand. Prices change daily. Within each metal type, the grade (purity and cleanliness) determines the specific rate \u2014 for example, clean Copper #1 is worth significantly more per kilogram than contaminated Domestic Copper.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Why do I need to show ID when selling scrap metal in NZ?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1597715760704-ac1b5717-8344&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Under the Secondhand Dealers and Pawnbrokers Act 2004, all licensed scrap metal dealers in New Zealand must verify and record the identity of every seller. Dealers must record your full name, address, phone number, and how your identity was verified. These records must be kept for three years. Copper has even stricter requirements as it is classified as an &#8216;article&#8217; rather than &#8216;scrap metal&#8217; under the Act. This law exists to deter metal theft and ensure traceability.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1776300321402{margin-bottom:
