What We Take
We collect a range of common scrap items that are often hard to get rid of. This includes old white goods, used car and machinery batteries, copper cables, radiators, and aluminium scrap.
Whether you’ve just finished a reno, need to offload some leftover parts, or you’re clearing out a shed, we make it easy. Our team shows up ready to load, pays you on the spot, and takes it all away in one go with no sorting or prep required on your end. If it’s on our list, we’ll take care of it quickly and professionally.
You don’t need a truckload for it to be worth something. Even a few batteries or some rolled-up cable can add up. We’re here to help locals recycle responsibly while putting a bit of cash back in your pocket.
What types of scrap metal can I sell?
You can sell both ferrous (iron-based) and non-ferrous metals. Common examples include copper wiring, aluminium sheeting, brass fittings, car batteries, white goods, and stainless steel items. Non-ferrous metals like copper and aluminium usually have a higher value, while ferrous metals are heavier and easier to accumulate in large quantities. Make sure items are free from excessive non-metal parts, but they don't have to be spotless or stripped.
How much is scrap metal worth per kilo?
Scrap metal prices vary based on market demand, type of metal, and condition. As a general guide, copper fetches the highest rate, followed by brass, aluminium and then steel. Prices change frequently, so it’s best to check current rates before selling. Some buyers may also factor in the weight, level of contamination, and if the items are mixed with other materials.
What’s the best way to prepare metal for sale?
While you don’t need to go overboard, separating metals into types (e.g. copper, aluminium, steel) can help you get a better price and speed up the transaction. Remove large non-metal parts if possible (such as plastic or wood), and try to keep items dry and free from contaminants like oil or dirt. Clean, sorted scrap is easier to weigh and value.
