Shed clean-out, job-site offcuts or a trailer of mixed metal? Bring it to our Green Fields yard. We sort it into grades with you, weigh each one in front of you and pay you before you leave.
Each grade goes on the scale separately, so you see every reading.
Cash or bank transfer as soon as grading and weighing are done.
Mon–Fri 7:30am–5:00pm, Sat 7:30am–2:00pm. No booking required.
SA business, ABN 53 643 157 019, fixed yard at Green Fields.
Most loads are not neatly sorted, and that is fine. A shed clean-out might include copper pipe, an old battery, aluminium ladders, brass taps and a pile of steel. We sort it into grades with you at the yard so each metal is paid at its own rate, instead of everything being lumped in at the lowest price.
If you have time to sort before you come in, you will get through faster and the higher-value metals will not be dragged down. Either way, every grade is weighed on certified scales and paid the same visit.
Each of these is graded and paid separately. Follow the links for detail on each metal.
Pipe, wire, busbar and insulated cable. The most valuable metals in most loads.
Heavy steel, light steel, cast iron, brake discs and general ferrous scrap.
Sinks, benches, catering equipment and fittings, graded above ordinary steel.
Each has its own grade, so keep them apart from general metal.
A magnet sticks to steel and iron (ferrous). Copper, brass, aluminium, lead and most stainless steel are non-ferrous and pay more.
Sorting a mixed load means each metal is paid at its own rate instead of the lowest one.
Metals can be recycled again and again, which is why scrap has value and should never go to landfill.
A little sorting before you load up usually means more money and a quicker visit.
Copper, brass, cable and batteries are worth far more than steel. Keep them in separate containers.
A magnet sticks to steel and iron. Anything non-magnetic is likely aluminium, copper, brass or stainless.
No gas bottles, pressurised containers, asbestos, fuel or general waste.
Restrain everything on your ute or trailer and keep batteries upright for the drive in.
Separate it from steel, rubbish and other metals where it is safe to do so.
Optional. Ring 08 7225 9998 with the type and rough weight.

It is not required, but it helps. Separating copper, brass, aluminium and batteries from steel stops the valuable metals being graded down, and speeds up your visit.
