FAQS

Common questions about selling metals to MetCat

What's the difference between selling and processing?

Selling means you bring us your catalytic converters and we pay you based on live market prices — quick and simple. Processing means we put your metallic catalysts through our specialist processing line and settle with you based on verified assay results — typically for higher volumes and higher value.

How does catalyst processing work?

We receive your metallic catalysts, process them through our in-house line (decanning, sampling, assay), and settle based on the verified precious metal content. The whole process is documented and transparent.

How long does processing take?

Processing timelines depend on the volume and type of material. Speak to our team for an accurate estimate based on your specific requirements.

Do I need a minimum volume for processing?

Processing is typically suited to larger volumes. For smaller quantities, selling at live prices through the app may be a better option. Contact us to discuss.

Can you collect catalytic converters from my site?

Yes. We arrange collection across the UK and Europe for larger volumes. For smaller quantities, you can deliver directly to our Wolverhampton yard.

How do I know I'm getting a fair price?

For selling: the app shows live prices that update in real time — fully transparent. For processing: settlement is based on independent assay results, so you see exactly what your material contained and what it's worth.
