Wrought iron’s density and weight make it a valuable recycling material. Prices for scrap metal fluctuate, so check current rates and consider selling the iron when prices are favorable to maximize your return.
Wrought iron is generally more expensive than cast iron, primarily due to the labor-intensive process of making it. Each piece is usually custom-made and requires a high level of skill and attention from trained blacksmiths: the more intricate the design, the more significant the time and labor costs that accompany it.
