Start a scrap run free
Build a three-material estimate, save up to three loads, and see the core workflow before deciding whether Pro is useful to you.
Use the quote your yard gave you

Follow official market context
Pro charts four official monthly U.S. BLS scrap indexes with trend, momentum, volatility, and up to five years of history.
Remember every payout
Keep estimates, actual payouts, yards, receipts, material photos, and notes together in searchable load history.

Who ScrapValue Is For

Built for anyone who wants a clearer scrap sale record.

ScrapValue works for hobby scrappers, contractors clearing job sites, homeowners sorting a garage pile, small recycling teams, and experienced sellers comparing several yards.

Before the yard

Plan a realistic mixed load

Separate copper, aluminum, steel, brass, wire, and other grades; enter the weight you have; then calculate from a yard quote or the reference rate shown in the app.

After the scale

Learn from the real payout

Save the ticket, actual grade, deductions, photos, and final amount so the next decision is based on your own record—not a promised national or local price.

Free web tool

Estimate a mixed load from a yard quote

Enter materials, weights, and a price you already received. The calculator does not supply live scrap prices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about ScrapValue estimates, pricing, and privacy.

Is ScrapValue 4.0 available now?

Yes. ScrapValue 4.0 was released on the Apple App Store on August 8, 2026. It opens in the new Modern workspace, preserves compatible saved data and theme choices, and keeps permanent Pro access for existing Pro and lifetime owners.

What should I include in a support email?

Include ScrapValue in the subject line, your device model, OS version, app version, purchase platform if relevant, and a short description of the issue. Do not send passwords, store-account credentials, payment-card details, government identification, or sensitive customer information. Redact personal information from screenshots.

How do I restore ScrapValue Pro?

Open ScrapValue, go to the Pro upgrade screen, and tap Restore Purchases while signed in to the store account that made the purchase. If Pro still does not unlock, email support with your platform, app version, and what happened. Never send your Apple or Google credentials or payment information.

Can I send feature ideas?

Yes. Product feedback helps guide future ScrapValue updates.

Does ScrapValue provide live local scrap-yard prices?

No. ScrapValue helps you calculate with reference rates or prices you enter from a yard. Its BLS charts show official national index movement, not a local per-pound offer. Always confirm grades and current prices directly with the receiving yard.

What can I do in the free version?

You can browse 48 practical grades, calculate values, build three-material loads, save up to three loads, keep one yard, and attach one trial photo per load. Pro adds editable local rates, receipt OCR, unlimited records, comparisons, charts, and reports.

Where are my receipts, photos, and load records stored?

Private ScrapValue records stay in app storage on your device. On Apple devices, Pro users can choose a private iCloud Drive backup. ScrapValue does not publish, crowdsource, or sell your receipt and load data.

Support, Policies & Feedback

Clear help before or after you download.

Read the privacy and purchase terms, contact the developer for help, or share an honest store review after you have used the app.

Estimates are informational, not guaranteed payouts. Actual prices vary by material grade, preparation, contamination, quantity, yard policy, market conditions, and certified scale weight. Verify current prices directly with the yard.
