A catalytic converter is key component of petrol and diesel vehicles.
As it’s name suggests, your CAT is an exhaust emission control devise which converts pollutants by catalysing a redox reaction.
This is a valuable part and most reputable scrap yards will offer you a great scrap price for it!
How Much Are Scrap Catalytic Converters Worth?
There’s not set scrap price for catalytic converters as scrap metal prices rise and fall on a daily basis and each cat has a different value depending on the precious metal contents.
For the most part, changes in supply and demand will influence the amount you’re quoted for your scrap CAT so please take this into consideration.
If you need to scrap your car as a whole, then it’s better to leave your catalytic converter on the vehicle. Removing the CAT will diminish your vehicle’s value in scrap and you could make more by scrapping your car as a whole!
