Sunshine Coast scrap metal buyers who come to you
Kunda Park, Caloundra, Coolum and Yandina are the Sunshine Coast's main industrial estates. Engineering shops, fabricators and manufacturers in those estates turn out offcuts and worn parts that are worth selling.
Along the coast and up into the hinterland, builders, shopfitters, electricians, plumbers and air-conditioning techs produce metal on almost every job. We buy that too, and we collect it from the site.
Why Sunshine Coast businesses choose Forge Recyclers
- Collection on the coast. We pick up from your job, workshop or factory, from Caloundra to Noosaville.
- Quote before the pick-up. Send photos and see our price before you agree to anything.
- All your metals on one trip. Copper, aluminium, steel and converters can share a pick-up.
- A tip for builders. Keep metal away from timber and plasterboard on site, and the load earns more.
The process starts with your photos and ends with the metal leaving your site.
What scrap metal can you sell on the Sunshine Coast?

Scrap metal prices on the Sunshine Coast: how we quote
Your quote prices each metal on its grade and weight. Heavy steel earns less per kilo but adds up, while copper, brass and aluminium earn more. Prices move with the market, so every quote uses today's price. Simply send a few photos to get yours.
Scrap metal recycling on the Sunshine Coast
Job sites on the coast fill skips with steel, aluminium and copper offcuts. Sold to us instead, that metal goes on to recycling, not into landfill. Copper, aluminium and steel can all be recycled again and again without losing quality. You cut the waste on site and get paid for metal you would have thrown out. For a builder, that means less to haul away at the end of a job.

Ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal we buy on the Sunshine 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 Sunshine Coast
Do you collect scrap metal across the Sunshine Coast, QLD?
Yes. We collect from businesses from Caloundra and Warana to Maroochydore, Nambour, Coolum Beach and Noosaville. Send photos and your suburb, and we reply with a price.
Do you collect from Kunda Park and the other industrial estates?
Yes. Kunda Park, Caloundra, Coolum and Yandina are all on our list. Tell us the metal, a rough amount and how we get to it, and add photos.
Can builders sell offcuts and strip-out metal?
Yes. Framing offcuts, roofing iron, aluminium windows, copper pipe and cable from a build or a complete strip-out are all scrap we buy. Keep them away from timber and plasterboard if you can. Tell us any site requirements, such as an induction, and send photos.
Do you take scrap metal from homes?
Not for now. We buy from trade and business customers only, such as builders, fabricators, mechanics, electricians and plumbers.
Do you buy catalytic converters on the Sunshine Coast?
Yes. Send a photo of each converter and the code stamped on its shell, and say how many you have. We quote the lot, and they can go on the same pick-up as your other scrap.
How much is scrap metal worth on the Sunshine Coast?
It comes down to the metal, its grade and the weight, at the market price on the day. A kilo of copper or brass is worth far more than a kilo of steel, but steel adds up when there is a lot of it. Send photos and we quote today's price.
