It is a commodity like oil. The price is determined by the market (supply and demand).

Cast Iron is a commodity just like other types of scrap metal (ferrous - steel : or non ferrous - copper, aluminum, brass, etc.) Each of these materials also has gradations (for example - Plate and structural steel, #1 prepared, #1 unprepared, etc.) It also depends on where in the country your located as scrap metal prices vary across the country.

It varies greatly from place to place and time to time. Best bet is to call the scrap yard you're going to take it to and ask them for a price.
