Sell your catalytic converters for recycling in Brisbane

Brisbane catalytic converter buyers who collect from your workshop

Forge Recyclers buys used catalytic converters for recycling from the businesses that remove them. Mechanics, exhaust and muffler shops, wrecking yards and fleet workshops all end up with scrap catalytic converters. Instead of letting them pile up out the back, send us photos and the codes. We reply with a free quote, with no obligation to sell, then collect from your site.

We buy across Brisbane and South East Queensland. One pick-up can take the converters together with the rest of your scrap, such as radiators, car batteries and steel offcuts.

Types of catalytic converters we buy

• Factory converters

  The converters fitted when the car, ute, 4WD or van was built. They usually hold the most precious metal.

• Aftermarket converters

  Replacement units fitted after the original. They usually hold less metal, so they quote lower.

• Large converters

  Converters from trucks, buses and machinery, priced on photos the same way.

• Mixed lots

  A box, a bin or a pallet of mixed converters from a workshop clean-out, quoted in one go.

Why sell your catalytic converters to Forge Recyclers

• One converter or a stockpile. The quote box takes a whole lot in one go.
• Priced on the code stamped on each. Every model holds a different amount of precious metal, so each converter is quoted on its own code.
• Collected from your workshop or yard. Exhaust shops and wrecking yards don't drive them anywhere.
• A free quote, with no obligation to sell. Send photos and codes, and decide once you see the quote.

Catalytic converter scrap prices: what yours are worth

A catalytic converter's value comes from the platinum, palladium and rhodium coated inside it. Each model holds a different amount, so we price every converter on its type and the code on its shell. We check that against the metal market on the day we quote, which is why a price list for converters goes stale so fast.

That is why the code matters. A clear photo of it lets us quote one converter, or a hundred, without you driving anywhere.

Selling several converters at once

The process is the same for one catalytic converter or a hundred. The quote box takes a whole lot in one go. Enter how many you have, then add a line for each converter with its code. No code? Tick that you can't find it and add clean photos of that converter, and we identify it from those. Then press send.

Photos that help us quote

• The code on the shell, in daylight and in focus
• The whole converter, from both sides
• The pipe ends and any heat shield
• For a big lot, one photo of everything together

Catalytic converter recycling: where the metal goes

Inside each converter is a ceramic core coated with precious metals. Recyclers recover those metals so they can go into new converters and other products, which means less new mining. The steel shell is recycled as scrap steel. For a workshop, selling old parts for recycling is the simplest way to dispose of them: nothing goes to waste or landfill, and the parts you replaced earn money.

Catalytic converter pick-up from the Sunshine Coast to the Gold Coast

We collect from workshops, exhaust shops and wrecking yards across Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay, the Redlands, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast. The areas we cover page lists the suburbs.

If converters come off cars at your workshop every week, ask about a regular pick-up. Businesses with other scrap can book it on the same trip, and our commercial scrap metal page explains how that works.
