Southside scrap metal buyers who come to you

Brisbane South holds some of the city's busiest industrial land, around Rocklea, Archerfield, Acacia Ridge, Coopers Plains and Salisbury. Manufacturers, transport depots and engineering shops there turn out steady scrap: offcuts, worn parts, old machines and pallets of mixed metal. We buy it and load it at your site.

For a big job, such as clearing out an old production line or emptying a yard before a move, send a few wide photos and a rough list of what is there. We quote the lot, and we can split it over more than one pick-up if that suits your schedule. If offcuts pile up fast, ask about a regular pick-up instead.

Scrap metal prices on the southside

Each metal has its own price, and three things set what your load earns: the grade, the weight and the market. Non-ferrous metals such as copper, brass and aluminium sit well above ferrous metals like steel and iron. A pallet of steel weighs a lot but earns less per kilo than a drum of copper wire. Clean metal grades higher, so cut off plastic and steel attachments where it is quick to do. Send photos and we reply with today's price for the load.

Metal recycling for southside industry

The metal we collect goes on to metal recyclers and mills, which melt it down to make new steel, copper and aluminium. Metal keeps its value through that loop, so a factory's offcuts can come back as new stock. Recycling it saves mining new ore and the energy that takes. For a southside plant, selling scrap also cuts the weight of your general waste and keeps metal out of landfill. You get paid for the metal instead of paying to have it hauled away.
