Understanding Different Types of Scrap Metal
Getting the most from scrap recycling means knowing your metals. Our guide helps you sort for the best value. Here’s what’s key:
Ferrous Metals: Iron and Steel
Iron and steel are everywhere in big structures. Fridges, cars, and machines have them. Recycle scrap metal like steel beams or tracks by seeing if they’re magnetic. Prices in Australia change, but sorting right gets you a fair deal.
Non-Ferrous Metals: Copper, Aluminum, Brass, and Lead
- Copper: Pipes and wires (reddish-brown color)
- Aluminum: Beverage cans and siding (lightweight and non-magnetic)
- Brass: Faucets and locks (yellowish hue)
- Lead: Batteries and old plumbing (heavy and dense)
Non-ferrous metals are worth more—up to 3 times ferrous. Our team checks purity with spectrometers for right prices.
Precious Metals: Silver, Gold, and Platinum
Jewelry, dental fillings, and lab gear often have precious metals. Even broken electronics might have gold or palladium. Scrap recycling pros safely get these valuables through refinery partnerships.
E-Waste and Circuit Boards

How to Get the Best Prices for Your Scrap Metal
Getting the most money starts with being ready. Scrap metal buyers give more for clean, sorted materials. Here’s how to do it right:

For example, clean copper wires can earn 30% more than messy ones. Tip: Keep containers labeled and don’t mix metals.
Preparing Materials for Maximum Value

As one buyer said, “Dirty transformers lose 20% of their value—clean them first.” Use our
