What are the prices for scrap cans in Birmingham?
The price for scrap cans changes constantly due to market supply and demand, and hence, it is difficult to provide exact numbers. However, if youâd like to know how to maximise the value of your scrap cans, we recommend collecting them over time so that their combined weight is as high as possible.
