May has been an impressive month for the prices paid for scrap cars! After a slight drop in April, there has been a rise of 15% compared to the prices paid last month. This is great news if you have an old car that you need to get rid of.

The price of scrap metal fluctuates in line with demand from the global scrap metal market, and there is a possibility that prices may start to fall as we go into June. So if you want to get the best bang for your buck, now is the time to sell your scrap car!

The CarTakeBack Scrap Car Price Index is updated monthly using the prices on offer for scrap cars at CarTakeBack recycling centres throughout Australia. It is intended to give an indication of the movement in the price from one month to another, with the prices being shown as a percentage. Cars come in all shapes and sizes which has an effect on their scrap value, so prices have been adjusted to show what the average car would be worth.
