Copper pipe offcuts, old tapware, brass fittings and valves from every job are worth sorting. We grade copper and brass with you, weigh each grade in front of you and pay you before you leave.
SA Copper Scraps buys copper pipe, brass fittings, tapware, valves, stainless sinks and lead flashing from plumbers at 12 Belfree Dr, Green Fields. Clean copper and clean brass pay the most, so cutting brass off copper pipe lifts both rates. No booking needed; paid by bank transfer the same visit.
Utes, vans, trailers and rigid trucks fit in the yard.
Each metal weighed separately on certified scales.
Mon–Fri 7:30am–5:00pm, Sat 7:30am–2:00pm.
Every purchase recorded, as SA law requires.
Plumbing work produces two of the most valuable scrap metals: copper and brass. Clean copper pipe with no fittings or solder is graded as #1 copper; pipe with solder, paint or fittings is #2. Brass fittings and tapware are graded clean, chrome-plated or mixed.
The easiest gain is cutting brass fittings off copper pipe, so each metal is paid at its own rate instead of the whole length being graded down. Plumbers from Salisbury, Parafield Gardens and the inner north drop off between jobs.
Keep copper, brass, stainless and lead in separate buckets on the van.
Old copper cylinders, drained and with fittings removed where possible.
Clean, single-metal pieces pay the most.
| Material | What it looks like | Graded as |
|---|---|---|
| Clean copper pipe | No solder, paint or fittings | #1 copper |
| Soldered or painted copper | Joints, paint or light fittings attached | #2 copper |
| Clean brass | Solid fittings, nothing attached | Clean brass |
| Tapware | Chrome-plated taps and mixers | Plated brass |
Separate bins or bags for each metal on the job make the yard visit quick.

Five minutes with a pipe cutter often moves a load up a grade.
Copper with brass attached is graded down. Separated, both are paid at their own rates.
Bag chrome tapware separately so clean brass is not averaged down.
Hot water cylinders must be empty before they come in.
