Local Market Note
Cambridge is home to major automotive assembly and a strong fabrication sector, so yards here handle a lot of cast aluminum, sheet steel, and copper wiring. Fabrication shops generate clean, sorted offcuts that grade well. For household scrap, the usual rule applies — separate your metals to avoid a blended rate.
