SORTING YOUR SCRAP
Which Household Metals to Keep Separate
Most scrap from a home clean-out falls into a few groups. Keeping them apart before pickup makes the job quicker on the day and makes it easier for us to quote.
- Copper: old water pipe, hot water fittings and offcuts. Keep insulated cable in its own pile. See copper scrap and wire and cable.
- Brass: old taps, valves and plumbing fittings. See brass scrap.
- Aluminium: window frames, ladders, outdoor furniture and old alloy rims. See aluminium and aluminium rims.
- Car batteries: keep them upright, do not stack them, and store them away from children, pets and drains. See scrap batteries.
- Old air conditioners: the refrigerant must be recovered by a licensed technician before the unit is scrapped. See air conditioner scrap.
- Steel and iron: items like fridge frames, trampolines and old bikes are ferrous scrap. We only consider ferrous scrap in bulk loads of 50 tonnes or more, so most household steel is not collected.
