How Kadingers Pays for Scrap Metal and Where to Find Current Pricing

Kadingers pays cash for scrap metal, according to its website. The site states plainly: "We Pay CASH For Your Scrap Metal" and lists scrap cars, appliances, catalytic converters, aluminum cans, and more as examples of what it buys. Current pricing is not published on the website itself — the site directs customers to find current pricing on Facebook. If you want to know what you'll be paid before you haul anything in, check the Facebook page or call 715-643-4211 during business hours.

How payment works

The website's only stated payment method for scrap is cash. There is no mention of checks, direct deposit, or other payment options, so plan on receiving cash at the time of your transaction.

What you get paid depends on what you bring in. The site groups its buying into broad categories rather than a single flat rate:

• Scrap cars
• Appliances
• Catalytic converters
• Aluminum cans
• Other scrap metal

Because these are different materials with different market values, the amount you receive will vary by item type and by the day's pricing. The site does not publish a per-pound or per-item rate sheet.

Where to find current pricing

The website does not list prices. Instead, it points to Facebook:

"We're buying scrap metal daily! Find Current Pricing on Facebook"

That means the Facebook page (listed on the site as "Kadinger's Inc. Kadingers") is the intended place to see what Kadingers is currently paying. If you don't use Facebook, the phone number is the practical alternative.

Before you go

1. Check the Facebook page for the current pricing post, or call 715-643-4211 to ask about the specific item you have.
2. Confirm the item is something they buy. The site names cars, appliances, catalytic converters, and aluminum cans, but "and More" suggests other scrap metal is accepted too — worth verifying for anything unusual.
3. Confirm hours before loading up. Scrap hours are Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM–4:30 PM. Arriving outside that window means no transaction.

Location and contact

Kadingers is located just outside Downing, Wisconsin, and describes itself as family owned and operated, providing metal recycling services to Western Wisconsin for over 60 years.

Ways to do business with them

The site lists three routes for getting scrap to Kadingers:

• Bring your scrap directly to the site — the simplest option for household quantities.
• Rent a roll-off dumpster — useful if you have a larger volume to clear.
• Set up an industrial account — aimed at businesses generating scrap on an ongoing basis.

Payment in cash is the stated method for scrap metal; the site does not describe separate payment terms for dumpster rentals or industrial accounts, so those are worth asking about directly if you go that route.

Practical notes

• Pricing changes. Scrap metal prices move with the market, which is presumably why Kadingers posts them on Facebook rather than fixing them on the website. A quote you saw last month may not hold.
• Call ahead for high-value or unusual items. Catalytic converters in particular vary widely in value, and the site gives no individual figures.
• The website is the source for hours and location; Facebook is the source for price. Treat them as two separate checks before you make the trip.
