Redlands scrap metal buyers who come to you
On South East Queensland's bay coast, the Redlands mixes light industry, marine work and building. Workshops, fabricators and service businesses gather around Capalaba and Cleveland. Along the bay, boat builders, marine mechanics, slipways and other marine facilities handle aluminium, stainless and brass. Growing suburbs such as Thornlands and Redland Bay keep builders and trades busy. All of it produces scrap worth selling.
Marine scrap is a Redlands speciality. Aluminium hulls and trailers, stainless rails and fittings, bronze propellers and brass valves all hold value, even when they look tired. Workshops along the bay also turn over batteries, radiators and engine parts. Send photos of what you have and we quote on the metal.

Scrap metal prices in Capalaba and Cleveland
Our pricing starts with the metal. Non-ferrous metals such as copper, brass and aluminium earn more per kilo than ferrous metals like steel and iron. Stainless steel is ferrous too, but it earns well above mild steel. Then we look at the grade: clean metal beats metal with paint, rust, plastic or fittings on. Metal prices follow the market every day, so each quote uses that day's figures. Send photos for today's price.
Recycling scrap metal from the Redlands
Selling scrap for recycling is a simple, sustainable practice for a Redlands-based business. You can recycle steel, copper and aluminium again and again, so every load we take reduces the need to mine new resources. That lowers the environmental impact of making metal, and it keeps scrap out of landfill and away from the bay's environment. Everything we collect goes to metal recycling, and none of it gets dumped. If your business reports on waste, that is metal you kept out of the bin.

Ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal we buy in the Redlands
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.

Each metal has its own price per kilo, and the grade and the market on the day move it. Copper and brass earn the most, steel the least. Send photos of your load and we reply with today's price.
