At Certified Surplus Metals, we specialize in buying precious metal scrap directly from industrial, medical, and commercial facilities across the U.S. Whether you’re decommissioning old equipment, recycling production waste, or clearing out unused materials, we make the process fast, transparent, and profitable.
With over 20 years of experience in industrial recycling and precious metal recovery, our team uses advanced testing and assaying methods to accurately determine the metal content and pay you the most competitive rates in the industry.
Unlike retail gold or jewelry buyers, Certified Surplus Metals focuses on large-scale, high-value scrap — the type produced in manufacturing plants, refineries, hospitals, and power facilities.
We buy:
Gold, Silver, Platinum & Palladium Scrap – from industrial plating, electronic components, catalyst material, and more
Silver-Bearing Film & Recovery Waste – including medical X-ray film, NDT (non-destructive testing) film, and industrial film rolls
Metallic Residues & By-Products – from power plants, chemical plants, and energy facilities
Electronic and Electrical Scrap – including transformer windings, contacts, circuit boards, and connectors containing recoverable precious metals
We understand the unique needs of facilities, contractors, and recyclers who handle bulk precious metal materials — and we’re built to serve you.
Our precision testing process ensures that you receive the true value of your material. We utilize state-of-the-art X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis and other non-destructive testing methods to determine the exact metal composition and purity levels.
✅ Accurate Metal Identification: Detects up to 26 metal elements, including gold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper, zinc, and nickel.
✅ Fair Market Pricing: Based on current spot prices for gold, silver, and other metals.
✅ Complete Transparency: You see every step of the testing, weighing, and valuation process.
