Stainless Steel Scrap Prices in Port Arthur, Texas
All prices listed are delivered prices and subject to change without notice due to market conditions.
Stainless steel earns non-ferrous money because of its nickel content — that is what separates a stainless sink from a steel one at the scale. Around Port Arthur it comes to us from restaurant remodels, plant turnarounds, and fabrication shops: sinks, counters, pipe, tanks, and fittings.
The quick field test: a magnet that will not stick (or sticks only weakly) usually means nickel-bearing stainless. Bring it in and we will confirm the grade at the scale.

How Pricing Works
Stainless is quoted per pound, and the nickel content is what you are being paid for. Clean, attachment-free stainless earns the listed price; material with steel bolted on or plastic attached is graded down for the recovery work.
Nickel markets set the tone for stainless pricing, and our board follows. The price shown here is live from the Port Arthur yard.
