What exactly is ScrapTrade and how does the marketplace work?
Short answer: ScrapTrade is an online marketplace that connects scrap metal sellers directly with business-verified buyers — you list what you have, buyers respond with offers, and the transaction (including payment and pickup) is coordinated through the platform, replacing the traditional process of cold-calling or driving between yards for quotes.
Ready to see it for yourself? List your scrap once and let verified buyers on ScrapTrade come to you with real offers.
Visit ScrapTrade →The basic flow
You list your scrap — material type, approximate quantity, location, and photos if useful — and verified buyers on the platform can respond with an offer, similar in spirit to a classifieds marketplace but purpose-built for scrap trading.
Why this beats the traditional route
Instead of calling around individual yards or driving to get quotes, you get competing offers in one place, from buyers who have already been through a verification process rather than an unknown walk-in operator.
What happens after you accept an offer
Pickup or delivery is coordinated between you and the buyer, and payment runs through the platform’s escrow-protected system rather than an informal cash handshake, giving both sides a documented, secure transaction.
