Understanding Lead Scrap Grades
Clean lead sheet from roofing and flashing is the most valuable grade. Lead-acid batteries are the most common source for domestic sellers but are worth less per kg due to the acid, plastic casing, and lead plates that need separating.
Lead is heavy, so even small quantities have worthwhile value. A single car battery typically weighs 10-15kg. Old lead pipe from plumbing renovations can add up quickly.
