About SA Copper Scraps | Adelaide's Trusted Scrap Metal Buyers & Recyclers

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.

Our Mission

We make scrap metal recycling effortless, profitable, and accessible for every household and business in South Australia. Every kilo of metal we recycle is one less tonne in landfill.

Our Promise

You'll always know exactly what you're getting paid and why — transparent pricing, certified weighing, and instant payment, every single time. No surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions About Scrap Metal Pickup & Recycling in Adelaide

SA Copper Scraps has been buying and recycling scrap metals in Adelaide and across South Australia for a number of years. We've grown from a focused copper buying service into a full-range operation covering all non-ferrous metals, vehicle buying, and commercial cleanouts. Many of our customers have been selling to us for years and return because they trust our process and our prices.

A few things set us apart: we bring certified digital scales to every job (you watch the weigh-in live), we pay on the spot without invoicing or waiting, we offer genuinely free collection with no hidden surcharges, and we're a locally owned South Australian business — not a national chain. We also accept the widest range of metals and materials of any Adelaide scrap buyer we know of.

Yes. We are a fully licensed second-hand dealer and scrap metal buyer operating under South Australian legislation. All transactions are recorded and receipted as required by law. We carry comprehensive public liability insurance that covers every field operation. You can request our licence details by calling (08) 7225 9998 or emailing info@sacopperscraps.com.au.

You're welcome to bring your scrap directly to our yard at 12 Belfree Dr, Greenfields SA 5107. We're open Monday to Friday 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM. However, most of our customers prefer our free doorstep pickup service — we come to you, which saves you a trip and the cost of transporting heavy loads.

Our team arrives at your property with certified, calibrated digital scales. We sort and weigh each metal type separately in front of you — you see every reading on the screen. We then calculate your payout based on current market rates for each grade and make you a clear, itemised offer. If you're happy with the price, we load everything, and you receive payment immediately — no waiting, no invoicing.

Still have questions?

Call our friendly team on (08) 7225 9998 — we're available Monday to Friday 8 AM–5 PM and Saturday 8 AM–1 PM.
