The recycling value of gold bars is high, because the weight and gold content of gold bars are higher than those of gold ornaments. The collection and recycling of gold bars can only be sold to recycling merchants when the price of gold is relatively high and stable.

Many places are gold recycling shops. Common gold recycling businesses include large and small gold recycling companies, pawn shops and gold jewelry processing shops. Some brand stores also offer trade-in services. Generally, the recycling price of pawn shops is not high, so more people will choose gold recycling companies, which have a formal valuation and are valued according to the international gold price. There are physical stores, and the process is more standardized.
