Scrap Metal Collection for Trades, Businesses and Households
We collect scrap metal from electricians, plumbers, builders, demolition crews, workshops and households on Sydney sites. Offcuts from a rewire, old copper pipe from a bathroom renovation, brass fittings from a plumbing job or aluminium window frames from a strip-out can all be worth selling instead of throwing away.
Whether it is a one-off scrap metal removal after a renovation or scrap that builds up on a work site, call 0413 609 674 and we will tell you whether it suits a pickup.
- Copper pipe, tube and wire
- Brass taps, valves and fittings
- Aluminium frames, sheet and cable
- Electrical wire and cable
- Batteries, motors and catalytic converters
- Air conditioners, rims and gearboxes

What We Buy in Sydney
We buy mainly non-ferrous scrap metal. Choose a material below to see what we take and how it is usually sorted. Iron and steel are only considered as qualifying bulk loads of 50 tonnes per load.
How to Prepare Scrap Metal for a Pickup
A little preparation makes a pickup quicker and helps us give you an accurate guide. You do not have to do all of this, but each step helps.
- Keep metals separate: copper, brass, aluminium and stainless steel in their own piles or containers
- Sort cable into stripped and unstripped, and keep it apart from bare copper
- Remove plastic, timber, concrete and general rubbish where you safely can
- Keep batteries, motors and catalytic converters apart from loose metal
- Leave the scrap somewhere easy to reach, such as a driveway, garage or site entrance
- Send photos and a rough quantity when you call or enquire
Not sure what something is? Take a photo and ask. Mixed loads are common, and we can tell you on the call which items are worth separating.
What Affects What We Can Offer for Your Scrap
Scrap metal is bought on grade and condition, so two loads of the same metal can be worth different amounts. The main things that affect what we can offer are:
- Grade: clean, bare copper is treated differently from mixed or coated copper, and the same applies to brass and aluminium
- Cleanliness: attached plastic, insulation, steel screws, paint or other contamination lowers the value of a load
- Quantity: how much material there is and how it is mixed
- Market movements: metal prices follow commodity markets, so a guide reflects conditions at the time you call
We do not publish fixed rates because they move. Our page on how we quote scrap metal prices explains the process in more detail, and we give you a guide on the call before a pickup is arranged.

It helps. Keep different metals apart, sort stripped and unstripped cable, and remove plastic, timber and concrete where you safely can. Photos sent before the pickup also help us give a clearer guide.
