What You Can Scrap With Us
Got a tangle of copper wire from a rewiring job? Maybe you’ve finished a reno and have leftover pipes, sheets and offcuts. Or maybe you’ve just got an old trailer full of metal you’ve been meaning to clear out for months. We’ll take the lot.
We pay for copper (including insulated wire), brass, lead, stainless steel, aluminium, steel and heavy mixed metal. It doesn’t matter if it’s clean, rusty or covered in paint, if it’s metal it has value. We’ll sort it and let you know what it's worth.
Have more than just metal? We also take
car batteries,
rims and
catalytic converters. If you’re not sure if we’ll accept it, just give us a call. Bring it in or let us come grab it. We're easy either way.
FAQ
What types of scrap metal can I sell?
Most scrap yards accept both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Common examples include copper, aluminium, steel, brass, lead and stainless steel. Items like hot water systems, old tools, car parts and metal furniture are often accepted too. It’s always best to separate materials before selling.
Is scrap metal recycling good for the environment?
Yes. Recycling metal helps conserve natural resources, reduces landfill waste and lowers the demand for raw mining. Metals like aluminium and steel can be recycled repeatedly without losing quality, making it one of the most sustainable forms of material recovery.
Do I need to clean or sort my scrap?
It’s not required, but it helps. Clean, separated metals usually get better prices because they’re easier to process. Removing plastic, rubber or other non-metal parts before selling can increase your payout and speed up the transaction at the yard.
