## Pricing
American Resources uses transparent, market-based pricing:
- We pay you for recyclable commodities — scrap metal (ferrous and non-ferrous) and the recoverable materials in end-of-life vehicles — at current market rates by certified weight.
- We charge a service fee for handling, logistics, and compliance on secure paper shredding, electronics/e-waste recycling, appliance recycling, bulk OCC management, and environmental consulting. Electronics with recoverable metals can partly offset their processing cost.
- Every quote is free and itemized. Final pricing depends on material type, volume, location, and frequency.
