Pricing

Simple pricing: container + pickup + proof, minus material value.

You pay for the container, movement, and proof. We credit back qualifying material value.

Proof levels

Choose the level of proof your compliance requires.

Container-level proof verifies the sealed container was processed. Batch-level proof verifies grouped lots inside the container. Item-level proof verifies individual serial numbers or assets. Item-level proof is quoted separately because it requires scanning, counting, reconciliation, and deeper documentation.

0No proof

Normal scrap/recycling. Weight ticket and basic receipt.

Material value

Recovery credits offset your service costs.

Qualifying materials receive a recovery credit based on weight, alloy, cleanliness, resale potential, and market value. Credits are applied against your service invoice as a net settlement.

Example: net due
Standard bin service$350
Pickup / exchange$250
Container-level proof$150
Material recovery credit-$420
Net due$330
Example: net credit
Standard bin service$350
Pickup / exchange$250
Material recovery credit-$1,100
Net credit to customer$500

Three outcomes

Customer pays SVCM

When the job is mostly service, destruction, or documentation. Prototypes, confidential material, e-waste, serialized proof.

SVCM credits customer

When material has enough value. Clean aluminum, copper, brass, stainless, sorted alloy, usable drops.

Net settlement

Service fees + pickup + proof − material recovery credit = amount due or credit paid. One clean invoice.

Common questions

What if I fill a bin with thousands of parts and want every part proven?

That is not a container-level proof job — it is an itemized audit job (Level 3). Item-level proof requires scanning, counting, and reconciliation for every piece and is quoted separately based on item count.

How do recovery credits work?

After processing, we assess the recovered material value based on weight, alloy, cleanliness, and current market prices. That value is applied as a credit against your service invoice. If the credit exceeds the service cost, we pay you the difference.

Can I set up a recurring bin program?

Yes. The recurring bin exchange is our cleanest model for shops with ongoing scrap or destruction needs. You get a container placed at your facility, and we exchange it on a regular schedule. Monthly bin program + exchange fee.

Do you publish exact prices?

Not yet. Real pricing depends on bin size, pickup route, material type, contamination level, proof level, item count, and whether material has resale value. Use our estimator to get a range, then we will send an exact quote within one business day.
