Factors that affect the scrap metal prices in Alaska

  1. Quality
    The price depends on the quality of the metal you're providing. Rust or non-metallic materials in the composition of the metal complicates the recycling process and lowers the value of the scrap metal.
  2. Demand
    Supply and demand in the metal market significantly affect the value of the metal you're selling. The junkyard will buy specific metals at a higher price if they are in short supply.
  3. Season
    Scrap metal prices are slightly higher in the warm seasons. This is because winter's icy roads make transporting anything a ore expensive endeavour. The construction and automotive industries are more active when the weather is warmer.
  4. International businesses
    The external market affects the price of scrap metal by increasing and decreasing the demand for metals. For example, when China wants to buy more scrap metal, the demand and price go up.
  5. The Russian-Ukrainian crisis
    Due to the sanctions imposed as a result of the Russian-Ukrainian crisis, there's reason to expect an increase in the cost of metals. Mainly due to a shard decrease in supply in the scrap metal market.
