Sell scrap aluminium in Brisbane

Brisbane scrap aluminium buyers who collect from your site

Aluminium is light, so old frames and offcuts fill a corner of the site long before they get heavy. It is a non-ferrous metal that keeps its value as scrap. Forge Recyclers buys scrap aluminium in Brisbane and across South East Queensland from glaziers, builders, fabricators and workshops. We pick it up from your site. Send photos of the load and we reply with a quote.

Why sell your scrap aluminium to Forge Recyclers

• Bulky loads, collected. Frames and offcuts take up room long before they get heavy, and we collect them from your site.
• Each type has its own grade. Extrusion, sheet, castings and swarf are graded apart, so sorting pays.
• A quote from your photos. See the quote before we book the pick-up.
• One trip for mixed metal. Add the steel and copper from the same job.

Scrap aluminium prices in Brisbane: what it is worth

We price aluminium by type and weight. Clean extrusion and sheet sit in the better grades. Glass, rubber seals, steel screws, plastic thermal breaks and heavy paint all bring a grade down. Cast aluminium and swarf each have their own grade. Aluminium prices vary with the world market from day to day, so we quote today's price once we see your photos.

Sorting pays with aluminium:

• Take glass and rubber seals out of frames when it is safe to do.
• Pull out steel screws, hinges and brackets. A magnet finds them.
• Keep cast pieces, extrusion and sheet in separate piles.
• Keep swarf dry and away from steel turnings.

Who sells us scrap aluminium

Glaziers and window installers take out old frames on most jobs. Builders and shopfitters strip shopfronts, partitions and balustrades. Fabricators, sign makers and engineering shops build up offcuts, sheet and swarf every week. Mechanics end up with alloy wheels and cast engine parts.

Aluminium recycling in Brisbane

You can recycle aluminium over and over, and it takes far less energy than making new metal. The Australian Aluminium Council says recycling uses only 5% of the energy used to make the original product. It also says about 75% of all aluminium ever produced is still in use. Smelters melt your old frames and offcuts and turn them into new extrusion, sheet and castings. For a glazier or fabricator, that turns a pile of offcuts into income and keeps it out of landfill.

Scrap aluminium pick-up from the Sunshine Coast to the Gold Coast

Aluminium is bulky for its weight, so tell us roughly how many frames, sheets or bags you have. We collect from building sites, factories and workshops between the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast, including industrial areas such as Yatala and Rocklea. The whole process runs on photos: you send them, we quote, and we book the pick-up. See how a scrap metal pick-up works.
