Types of Metals We Buy – And Their Value
While our name might suggest we only buy copper, we deal in many other forms of scrap metal. As licensed scrap metal dealers, we accept all metal from household, commercial, and industrial sources. If you’re wondering where to sell scrap metal in Sydney, we make the process simple and profitable.
1. Copper (CU-PR-ON)
Copper is the king of scrap metal – and for good reason. Not only does it conduct electricity and heat better than any other metal on the planet, but copper is also completely recyclable with no loss in quality, no matter how many times it’s processed. We buy scrap copper in all forms, including: stripped wire, tubing, insulated wire, cables, computer wire, sheets, plates, radiators, motors and starters.
2. Aluminium (AL-UM-IN-UM)
The second most popular scrap metal is aluminium recycling. It’s lightweight, rust-resistant, durable, and recyclable forever without losing quality. We buy aluminium cans, foil, extruded aluminium, rims, plates, sheets, insulated wire, and more. Bonus tip: Did you know recycling aluminium saves about 95% of the energy required to create new aluminium from raw materials?
3. Brass
Brass is an alloy made from copper mixed with zinc. While not quite as valuable as copper on its own, brass is commonly used in plumbing fixtures, door fittings (handles/taps/locks/hinges), gears, radiators, electrical components and more. We buy red and yellow brass. Red brass is higher in copper and therefore sells for a higher price, making brass recycling a valuable option for both homes and businesses.
4. Stainless Steel (STA-INLESS STEEL)
Stainless steel is used for so many purposes around your home and business. Scrap stainless steel is taken from kitchen utensils/appliances, industrial machinery, furniture/fixtures, vehicles/toolboxes and construction waste, making stainless steel recycling an important part of sustainable waste management.
5. Lead
We accept lead scraps in many forms – including old car batteries! Lead is used in construction (roofing materials, flashing, weatherproofing), old plumbing pipes/wiring and more.
6. Other Ferrous Metals
Include old steel fences, steel beams/sections, or mixed ferrous scraps. Ferrous metals don’t pay as well per kilo compared to non-ferrous metals, but volumes are usually larger and can still add up to a fair payout.
