Northside scrap metal buyers who come to you

The northside's industry sits in pockets, from Geebung, Virginia and Northgate out to Eagle Farm and Pinkenba near the airport. Engineering shops cut steel and aluminium. Electricians strip out switchboards and cable. Mechanics replace radiators, batteries and converters. All of it sells as scrap, and we come to you to collect it.

A lot of northside scrap comes from small jobs that add up: a few drums of cable from a switchboard upgrade, a bin of copper pipe from a plumbing van, a pallet of offcuts at the end of the month. Send it when it suits you. If your drums fill fast, ask about a regular pick-up so the metal never piles up.

Scrap metal prices on the northside

We buy ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal and price it by weight. The metal matters most, since copper and brass earn far more than steel. Next comes the grade, which is how clean the metal is. Bare copper pipe beats pipe with brass fittings on, and clean offcuts beat painted or rusted sheet. Metal prices follow the market and move every day, so we quote each load on the day. Send photos and we reply with today's price.

Northside scrap goes to recycling, not landfill

Everything we collect from a northside site goes on to metal recycling. Steel offcuts from a Geebung workshop go back to a mill to become new steel. Copper from a switchboard upgrade ends up in new wire. Metal can go round that loop again and again, which saves new mining and the energy it takes. For your business, it keeps heavy scrap out of general waste and out of landfill. And instead of filling a skip you pay for, the metal earns you money.

Scrap metal collection beyond the northside

If your business sits just over the council line, we cover that too. See Moreton Bay for Brendale, Strathpine and North Lakes, Brisbane East for the port side, or our Geebung scrap metal page.
