How do rebate and volume agreements work for regular business scrap?
Short answer: A rebate or volume agreement gives a better price or a payment back once your business supplies an agreed quantity over a period, which rewards regular supply, but you should check how the quantity is measured, what happens if you fall short, whether the price is fixed or tracks the market and whether you are tied to one buyer, since a headline rebate can hide restrictions that cost more than it saves.

The buyer offers a better rate for committed volume because regular supply is easier to plan around.
What to check before agreeing
Look at how volume is counted, what happens if you miss it and whether the price follows the market.
Why flexibility matters
Being tied to one buyer for a long period can cost you if the market moves or the service slips.
