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 copper scrap recycler and scrap metal buyer since 2020, 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 bring your metal to our Green Fields yard, we weigh it on certified scales right in front of you and pay you before you leave.
From a few kilograms of old copper pipe to large trade and industrial loads, no load is too big or too small, and no booking is needed.
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.
