Gold Coast scrap metal collectors who come to you
Yatala and Stapylton make up the Gold Coast's largest industrial area, and Molendinar, Arundel, Carrara and Burleigh Heads have busy estates of their own. We collect from businesses in all of them.
Away from the estates, builders, shopfitters and service trades work right across the city, and every job leaves some metal behind. Aluminium from window and door changes, copper from plumbing and air-conditioning work, and steel from framing and fit-outs all have value.
Why Gold Coast businesses choose Forge Recyclers
- Pick-up from Ormeau to Coolangatta. We come to the job site, workshop or factory, and the metal leaves with us.
- Photos, quote, pick-up. That is the whole process: you send photos, we send a quote, and the pick-up follows if you agree.
- Mixed metal in one load. Aluminium windows, copper pipe, steel and batteries can all go together.
- Prices that follow the market. We price by metal, grade and weight on the day you send photos.

Scrap metal prices on the Gold Coast: how we quote
We price scrap by the metal, its grade and the weight. Aluminium windows with the glass and rubber stripped out earn more than whole frames. Clean copper pipe earns more than pipe with brass fittings left on. Prices change with the market, so ask for today's price before you book.
Scrap metal recycling on the Gold Coast
Building and renovation work on the Gold Coast throws out a lot of aluminium, steel and copper. Sold to us, it goes on to be recycled into new metal, and aluminium can go round that loop over and over. That keeps it out of landfill and out of the general waste skip on your site. For a builder or shopfitter, recycling means a tidier job and money back for the offcuts.

Ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal we buy on the Gold Coast
Ferrous metals contain iron and non-ferrous metals don't. One pick-up can take both: tap a metal to see what we take.
Non-ferrous metals
No iron in them, so a magnet won't stick. They are worth more per kilo than steel.
Ferrous metals
Steel and iron, which a magnet sticks to, and stainless steel, an iron alloy graded on its own.
Mixed-metal items
Things made of more than one material, such as cable, motors and converters.

Questions about selling scrap metal on the Gold Coast
Do you pick up scrap metal on the Gold Coast, QLD?
Yes. We pick up from businesses and job sites from Ormeau, Pimpama and Coomera down to Southport, Robina, Burleigh Heads and Coolangatta. Send photos and your suburb through the quote box, and we quote the load.
Do you take aluminium windows and frames from builders?
Yes. Old aluminium windows, doors, frames and offcuts are good scrap. Glass and rubber seals lower the price, so strip them out if that is quick and safe. Send photos and we quote it.
Can you collect from a building site?
Yes. Tell us the site address, where the metal sits and any rules for visitors, such as an induction. We quote first, then book a time that suits the site.
Is scrap steel worth selling on the Gold Coast?
Yes. Steel earns less per kilo than aluminium or copper, but framing offcuts, roofing iron and old structures add up by weight. Put the steel in the same pick-up as your other metals and send photos for a quote.
Do you buy scrap metal from homes on the Gold Coast?
No. For now we buy only from businesses and trades: builders, fabricators, mechanics, electricians, plumbers and shopfitters.
How much is scrap metal worth per kg on the Gold Coast?
Three things set it: the metal, how clean it is and how much there is. Per kilo, copper and brass beat steel. Prices move with the metal markets, so your quote reflects the day you send photos.
