Around the Main Street and Lakeside area, most of what we recover comes from household clear-outs, fencing, whitegoods and renovation waste out of established homes. Further out toward Cardinia Road and the newer estates, it’s more new-build offcuts, packaging steel and construction scrap as homes are finished and landscaped.

How to maximize the value of your scrap

Separate your metals –The prices of metal scraps vary according to their type, from copper and aluminium, to brass and lead. When giving your metal scraps for weighing, it’s best to separate each load to get an accurate figure, instead of a much lower average together. 

Strip non-metal attachmentsBefore giving your metal scraps for us to weigh, make sure you have removed all the non-metal attachments like insulation, housing, and plastic fixtures. This gives a much higher price for the actual metal being weighed and gets you a better deal.

Keep copper and brass clean and dry Both copper and brass have the highest per kilo rates, adding to great profit for you. It is important to keep them clean and dry since any kind of corrosion, contamination, or moisture can reduce the value of the load. 

Bundle bulk loads together Giving smaller loads through multiple pickups can reduce the overall value of your metal scraps and can amount to a lower rate. It is best to bundle larger volume from a complete refurbishment or clean-out together and get a better deal.

Call ahead for larger items We are equipped to pickups for any type and volume, from smaller appliances to heavier machinery. When you schedule a service, we urge you to inform us of the size of the load beforehand so we can get suitable equipment for the same.

Time the service as per your renovationVarious procedures like refurbishment, tenancy breaks, regular repairs, or leasing out properties work on a time constraint. Calling for metal scrap recycling services should therefore be done timely in order to avoid any delays.
