HMSScrap.com is an independent information resource built to help people understand what heavy melting steel scrap is, how its grades differ, what size and thickness buyers expect, what counts as contamination and how to cut, load and sell it for a fair price.
Why We Built This
Heavy steel is the highest-volume, lowest-glamour part of the scrap trade, and also where preparation makes the biggest difference. We built this site to explain, in plain language, what HMS means, what buyers accept and how to prepare a load so that it is weighed and priced without argument. Definitions differ between buyers, so always confirm theirs.
Part of the ScrapTrade Network
HMSScrap.com is part of the ScrapTrade network — an online scrap trading marketplace connecting verified buyers and sellers of scrap metal, e-waste, batteries, and more. Where this site focuses on heavy steel, ScrapTrade is where a prepared load becomes offers from verified buyers, with transparent weighing and escrow-protected payments.
What We’re Not
We’re not a scrap buyer and we don’t handle transactions directly through this site — this is an information resource. For the actual buying and selling, head to ScrapTrade.
Preparation is what makes a steel load pay. ScrapTrade connects you with verified buyers, transparent weighing and escrow-protected payments.
