Opening hours

Scrap Yard Opening Hours

We are open six days a week, so most people can get to us on a weekday after work or on a Saturday morning. You don’t need an appointment: drive in, park at the scales and we will grade your metal with you.

Please arrive at least 30 minutes before closing so there is time to sort, weigh and pay for your load. Saturday mornings are popular with households and weekend clean-outs, so arriving early means less waiting. We are closed on South Australian public holidays unless we have advertised otherwise; if in doubt, ring 08 7225 9998.

FAQs

Scrap Yard Adelaide FAQs

Is your scrap yard open today?

We are open Monday to Friday 7:30am to 5:00pm and Saturday 7:30am to 2:00pm. The yard is closed on Sundays. The panel at the top of this page shows whether we are open right now in Adelaide time. We are closed on South Australian public holidays unless we have advertised otherwise.

Is there a scrap yard open on Sunday in Adelaide?

Our yard is closed on Sundays. Saturday is our weekend day: we are open 7:30am to 2:00pm, so a Saturday morning is the best time to bring a weekend clean-out.

Where is your scrap yard?

12 Belfree Dr, Green Fields SA 5107, in Adelaide’s northern suburbs, next to Parafield Gardens, Salisbury and Mawson Lakes. Customers come from across metropolitan Adelaide and regional South Australia.

Do I need to book before I come?

No. Drive in during opening hours. For loads over about a tonne, or very long or heavy pieces, ring 08 7225 9998 first so we can confirm the rate and where to unload.

Do you pick up scrap metal?

No. We are a drop-off yard: you bring your metal to Green Fields and we grade, weigh and pay for it while you wait. We do not offer pickup, collection or towing.

What do I need to bring?

Current photo ID, such as a driver’s licence, for every sale. South Australian law requires us to record who sells scrap metal. Sorted, dry metal is also graded and weighed faster.

Which scrap metal pays the most at a scrap yard?

Copper. Bare bright and #1 copper sit at A$17–21/kg on our guide, brass at A$9–14/kg and insulated copper cable at A$7–15/kg. See our copper and scrap metal prices for every metal.

Do you take small amounts?

Yes. A single bag of copper offcuts or a few old brass taps is worth bringing in. There is no minimum load.
