A rough guide, not a fixed rate

What affects your payout

Short answer

Copper and brass generally return more per kilo than steel or aluminium, and prices shift with the market week to week.

There's no set limit on how much scrap you can bring in, and both small and large quantities are handled the same way, weighed accurately and priced fairly. For a large industrial load or a demolition job, it's worth calling ahead so the right time and vehicle are arranged.

Exact figures aren't published here because they move with global metal markets. Ask about current rates before you drop off or book a pickup, especially for a mixed or high-volume load.

For renovations, demolitions & ongoing scrap

Skip bins for bigger jobs

Not every clean-out fits in one trip. For a renovation, a demolition, or a workshop generating scrap over time, a bin can be arranged so you can fill it at your own pace. Once it's ready, call us and we'll collect and weigh the load.

Good to know before you visit

ID and payment, the rules that apply to every sale

Every scrap metal sale in NSW, Port Macquarie included, requires valid photo ID from the seller. It's standard practice for a registered dealer, and it keeps the industry honest for everyone selling legitimate scrap.

Payment on the spot. Under the Scrap Metal Industry Act 2016 and the Scrap Metal Industry Regulation 2024, registered dealers in NSW have to pay by a traceable method, so bring your bank details along with your ID and you'll be paid by transfer once your items are checked.
