The guide above helps you estimate value, but the in-store process decides the final price you are paid.
Start with the page that best matches your main material: copper, brass, aluminium, lead, steel, batteries, aircon units or mixed metals.
Read the grade section before visiting so clean material is not mixed with lower-value items.
Visit 12 Belfree Dr, Green Fields SA 5107 with sorted material where practical.
The team inspects, grades, weighs and confirms payment based on current in-store rates.
Grade matters as much as weight. Understanding how your material is classified is the difference between a low-grade and a high-grade payout.
Copper and brass carry the highest per-kilo values, and grade differences can change what you are paid sharply. Check the copper and brass pages first.
Aluminium, lead, batteries, aircon units and steel each need different preparation before visiting the yard.
The public table helps you estimate value, but SA Copper Scraps confirms the price after inspection, grading and weighing.
Sorted, clean material grades faster and more accurately, which is the simplest way to protect the value of what you bring in.
Open the price page that matches your material for grade detail, preparation notes and current guidance.

Current public benchmarks range from around A$15.00-$20.00/kg for clean bright copper down to A$0.15-$0.40/kg for steel, with brass, aluminium, lead and batteries in between.

Clean bright and shiny copper and #1 copper pipe sit around A$15.00-$20.00/kg on current public Adelaide benchmarks. Insulated PVC copper wire ranges from about A$6.00-$13.00/kg depending on how much copper is recovered from the plastic.
Steel and ferrous scrap sits around A$0.15-$0.40/kg. Light steel usually prices at the lower end and clean heavy steel at the higher end, so sorting is worthwhile on larger loads.
Clean aluminium extrusion is around A$3.00-$4.50/kg and mixed domestic aluminium around A$3.00-$5.00/kg. Steel attachments and heavy contamination reduce the grade.
Used lead-acid car batteries sit around A$0.50-$1.00/kg on current public benchmarks. Bulk, truck and industrial batteries are assessed separately, so call ahead with the quantity.
Lead sheet, flashing and wheel weights sit around A$2.00-$2.50/kg. Clean brass taps, valves and fittings run around A$9.00-$13.00/kg, generally below copper but well above ferrous metals.
