Scrap metal recycling and pick-up in Brisbane

Scrap metal recyclers in Brisbane who come to you

Forge Recyclers buys ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal from trades and businesses, and we collect it from your site. Copper offcuts, old cable, steel from the factory floor and boxes of catalytic converters all have value. Our scrap metal recycling service runs from the Sunshine Coast through Brisbane to the Gold Coast, across South East QLD. Send photos of what you have, and we reply with a free quote.

Types of scrap metal we buy, from copper to steel

Non-ferrous metals such as copper, brass and aluminium earn the most per kilo. Ferrous metals, steel and iron, earn less per kilo but add up fast in a big load. We also buy metal appliances, motors and batteries. Search for a metal or an everyday item, such as taps or cable, or filter by type. Each card opens the page for that metal, with the grades and items we take. A mixed load is fine, and one pick-up can take the lot.

Catalytic converters have their own page: see catalytic converters, from one converter to a pallet.

Trades and businesses we buy scrap metal from

We buy from businesses and trades in every industry that turns out metal waste, and we collect from where they work.

• Tradies. Electricians, plumbers, air-conditioning techs and mechanics. See scrap metal for tradies.
• Builders and shopfitters. Offcuts, framing and strip-out metal from every stage of a job. See construction scrap.
• Manufacturers and workshops. Fabricators, engineering shops, machine shops and factories. See industrial scrap.
• Demolition crews. Structural steel, pipe and cable from knock-downs and clearances. See demolition scrap.

For a business with steady scrap, the commercial scrap metal page covers clean-outs and regular pick-ups.

Metal recycling that pays your business

Metal can be recycled again and again, so the scrap we buy goes back to mills and smelters to become new steel, copper and aluminium. That is what gives it a price, and why prices follow market rates for each metal. For your business, it means metal that would fill a skip earns money instead, and none of it goes to landfill.

Scrap metal pick-up across Brisbane and beyond

We collect every load we buy, so the metal never goes in your ute or trailer. The process is short: photos, a quote, then the pick-up. Tell us roughly how much you have, where it sits and how a vehicle reaches it. A wide photo of the pile and a few close-ups help us quote it.

If scrap builds up every week, ask about a regular pick-up. Our scrap metal pick-up page explains the service, and the scrap metal prices page shows how we price a load.
