Tips to Get More Cash When Selling Scrap Metal in Lagos

Want to maximise what you earn from your scrap? These simple tips will get you a better price: • Separate your metals before calling us: Copper mixed with iron gets valued at iron prices. Keep copper, aluminium, and iron separate. • Remove non-metal attachments where safe: Strip rubber insulation from copper wires if you can. Clean copper pays significantly more. • Call multiple times: If you are a regular seller (factory, workshop, contractor), build a relationship with V-Martins for priority service and better rates. • Sell in larger quantities: Bulk loads attract higher per-kg prices. If you can aggregate more material before calling, your payout will be larger. • Don't sell damaged or mixed loads without declaring it: Transparent dealing always results in better long-term relationships and repeat business.
