Rocklea scrap metal buyers who come to you
Rocklea is part of Brisbane's largest industrial area, home to the Brisbane Markets and a cluster of food and agribusiness firms. Next door, Archerfield adds logistics and aviation businesses.
That work wears out a lot of metal. Kitchens and processors replace stainless benches, sinks and tanks. Depots retire racking and cages. Truck workshops and refrigeration techs fill bins with radiators, batteries, copper pipe and compressors. We buy the lot and collect it from you.
Why Rocklea businesses choose Forge Recyclers
- We collect at your dock or gate. Busy food and freight sites keep working while we load the metal.
- Sorted stainless earns more. Keep it apart from mild steel, and we price it on its own grade.
- Quotes from photos. A few photos get you a quote before you book anything.
- One pick-up for many metals. Stainless, copper, steel and batteries can all leave together.
The process suits a busy site: you send photos, agree to the quote and keep working while we load.

Scrap metal prices in Rocklea: how we quote
We price each metal on its grade, its weight and the market on the day. Clean stainless kept apart from mild steel earns more than a mixed heap. Copper and brass are worth the most per kilo, and steel earns its money by weight. Prices move every day, so send photos and we quote today's price for the whole load.
Scrap metal recycling in Rocklea
Kitchens and food processors go through a lot of stainless steel, and all of it can be recycled. The stainless, steel and copper we buy go on to make new metal, so worn benches, sinks and tanks stay out of landfill. Making steel from scrap saves the iron ore and coal that new steel would need. For a Rocklea business, recycling turns old equipment into income and frees up floor space.

Ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal we buy in Rocklea
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 in Rocklea
Do you collect scrap metal from businesses in Rocklea?
Yes. We pick up from food businesses, depots, workshops and trade sites in Rocklea and the suburbs beside it, such as Archerfield and Salisbury. Tell us the street, add photos, and we quote before you book a time.
Do you buy stainless steel from kitchens and food processors?
Yes. Benches, sinks, tanks, trolleys and offcuts are all good stainless scrap. Clean stainless kept apart from mild steel earns a better price, so sort it if you can. A magnet helps: most kitchen stainless barely sticks to one.
Do you buy rusty scrap steel in Rocklea?
Yes. Rust does not stop steel or iron going to recycling, and we buy scrap steel by weight. Heavy rust, dirt and rubbish mixed in can lower the grade, so send photos and we price what we see.
Do you take a mixed load?
Yes. A load from a Rocklea site often mixes stainless, steel, copper and a few batteries. Tell us roughly what is in the pile and send photos. Sorting it into separate heaps first lifts what we can pay.
Do you pick up scrap from homes in Rocklea?
Not right now. Forge buys scrap from businesses and trades only, such as food processors, depots, mechanics and builders.
