Every year, Adelaide homeowners throw away thousands of dollars worth…
SA Copper Scraps is Adelaide's trusted scrap metal buyer, proudly serving homeowners, tradespeople, manufacturers, and farmers right across South Australia.
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 trade, workshop 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 transport or labour.
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.
You'll always know exactly what you're getting paid and why — transparent pricing, certified weighing, and instant payment, every single time. No surprises.
Whether you’re a homeowner clearing out the garage, a sparky with leftover cable off-cuts, or a business running a full factory decommission — we have the right solution for you. Explore our full range of scrap buying and recycling services below.
