Committed to Getting You the Best Price for Your Scrap Metal in Adelaide

SA Copper Scraps is Adelaide's trusted scrap metal buyer, proudly serving homeowners, tradespeople, manufacturers, and farmers right across South Australia.

We Buy Copper, Brass, Aluminium, Lead & Old Cars Across South Australia — Same-Day Service Available

SA Copper Scraps has been Adelaide’s go-to scrap metal buyer for years, proudly serving homeowners, tradespeople, manufacturers, and farmers right across South Australia. We specialise in non-ferrous metals — copper, brass, aluminium, and lead — along with vehicle buying and factory cleanouts of any size.  We built our business on three simple principles: fair prices, fast service, and zero hassle for our customers. When you call us, we’ll arrive promptly with our certified scales, weigh your metals right in front of you, and hand over your cash — or transfer it directly to your bank account — before we leave your property.  From a few kilograms of old copper pipe to multi-tonne industrial loads, no job is too big or too small. And because we handle our own logistics, you won’t pay a cent for pickup, transport, or labour
