Bayside scrap metal buyers who come to you

The east of the city runs down to the river mouth and the port. Around Murarrie, Hemmant and Lytton you find manufacturers, engineering shops and freight depots, while the bayside suburbs add boat builders, marine services and trades. Those industries produce steel, aluminium, stainless and copper scrap, and we buy all of it.

Marine and port work leaves a lot of metal that looks worn out but still has good value. Old stainless fittings, aluminium hull offcuts and corroded brass all sell by weight and grade. Send a photo of anything you are unsure about and we will tell you what we would pay.

Why bayside businesses choose Forge Recyclers

  • Pick-up where you work. We collect from industrial sites, marinas and job sites.
  • Know the price first. The process is photos, a quote back, then the pick-up.
  • Mixed loads welcome. Separate metals earn more, but you can send them together.
  • Steady scrap covered. If metal builds up fast, ask about a regular pick-up.

What scrap metal can you sell in Brisbane's east and bayside?

Scrap metal prices on the bayside: how we quote

We buy ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal and price it by grade and weight. Salt air and hard use leave plenty of bayside metal looking tired. The grade still comes down to what the metal is and how clean it is, not how it looks. A tired stainless rail can still be good scrap. Metal prices follow the market and change daily, so send photos and we quote today's price for your load.

Scrap metal recycling on the bayside

Every load we collect in the east goes on to scrap metal recycling. Smelters melt down aluminium hull offcuts and stainless fittings and turn them into new metal, and they can do it again and again. That means less new mining, and less energy than making metal from ore. For a marine or port business close to the bay, selling scrap keeps it out of landfill and out of the waste stream. It also clears space on a hardstand or a workshop floor.

Scrap metal pick-up across the bayside

We also collect south into the Redlands and across the river in Brisbane North. Towards Coorparoo and Carina, the area meets the southside, which our Brisbane South page covers. Businesses with steady scrap can ask about regular pick-ups.

Ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal we buy on the bayside

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 bayside

Who picks up scrap metal in Wynnum and Manly?

We do. Forge Recyclers collects scrap metal from boat builders, marine services, workshops and trades around Wynnum, Manly and the rest of the bayside. Call us, or send photos with the quote form, and we reply with a quote.

How much is scrap metal per kg in east Brisbane?

Each metal has its own price per kilo, and that price moves with the market. Grade counts too, so clean aluminium or stainless earns more than the same metal with paint, rust or fittings on. Send photos of your load and we reply with today's price.
