How Do I Scrap Catalytic Converters?

Sell Catalytic Converters

Catalytic converters in the scrap industry are a HOT commodity, with the prices of palladium, rhodium and platinum (the three precious metals found inside catalytic converters) reaching an all-time high recently, catalytic converter recycling has become a big part of the scrap metal industry over the last few years. Many scrap yards purchase scrap catalytic converters across Kent, but here at Reclamet, we can assure you of top prices paid for all scrap catalytic converters.

How can I find the best catalytic converter buyer for scrap? 

With so much lack of knowledge across scrap yards, many independent buyers like auto shops and garages will start to buy catalytic converters. While this may seem quick and easy, the seller beware. Some locations may need more resources and knowledge to provide the correct pricing and grading for your catalytic converters. Reclamet has extensive expertise in grading and pricing, assuring the most up-to-date and the best price for your catalytic converters.

Why mobile scrap dealers aren’t the best option

Something else you have to consider about mobile scrap dealers that buy catalytic converters; it is easier for dealers to offer you a top price if they buy a few catalytic converters regularly. They will likely have to cut corners on profits so they can sell to a more significant buyer to make a profit.

We guarantee top prices at Reclamet as we regularly deal with scrapping catalytic converters.

Where is the best place to sell catalytic converters?

The obvious answer is – a scrapyard. While selling your catalytic converter to a scrap yard may seem a better option, be wary of those you sell it to. As we mentioned earlier, one of the problems is the lack of knowledge from some scrap yards and being limited to giving you an up-to-date, accurate price.

Catalytic converter serial numbers

When selling your catalytic converter, serial numbers are the best and most accurate way to determine the correct value price. Serial numbers provide the year, model and make of the vehicle or car it came from. Also, they can provide information about the precious metal content in the recovery process.

What if there isn’t a serial number?

If you are searching for a serial number on your cat and can’t find one, you can do a few things.

• Use Steel Wool – Some catalytic converters have corrosion on them, so you may have to scrub some of the rust off to find a serial number.
• There isn’t a serial number? – Some cats don’t have a serial number, and that’s ok, as Reclamet is a reputable buyer, and we should still be able to identify it.
