Emr Southern Recycling - Lafayette

How much does EMR Southern Recycling Lafayette pay for scrap copper?

Copper prices fluctuate daily with commodity markets. EMR pays competitive market rates, but the exact figure is not posted online. Visit the yard or call (337) 233-1038 for the current per-pound price. Note that Louisiana law requires check payment with a mandatory 5-day hold on copper radiators and similar regulated non-ferrous items.

Is a permit or special ID required to sell non-ferrous metals at this yard?

A valid photo ID is required for all transactions. Louisiana does not require a separate sheriff's permit for most non-ferrous sales, but sellers must show ID before payment is issued. Acceptable forms include a photo ID with a current utility bill or thumbprint documentation. For regulated categories (copper and aluminum radiators), Louisiana mandates check payment with a 5-day hold period.

Does the Lafayette EMR yard accept old appliances, and do I need to prepare them?

Yes, large and small household appliances are accepted. While EMR's website does not specify preparation requirements for this location, it is best practice to ensure refrigerators and AC units have had refrigerant properly removed before transport (per EPA regulations). Call (337) 233-1038 or email usainfo@emrgroup.com to confirm any preparation requirements before loading up.
