Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get cash for scrap metal in Australia?
In most Australian states, direct cash payments for scrap metal have been phased out due to anti-theft and traceability laws. Instead, scrap yards typically pay via electronic funds transfer (EFT), cheque or other traceable methods.
While you won’t receive physical cash, the process is still quick, and payment is often made on the same day.
You'll usually need to provide identification, and in some states, proof of ownership may also be required.
Always check local regulations or contact the yard in advance to understand accepted payment methods and documentation.
What kinds of scrap can I sell for money?
Scrap that can earn you money includes a wide range of metals—both ferrous (steel, iron) and non-ferrous (copper, brass, aluminium, lead, stainless steel).
Items like old appliances, plumbing pipes, car batteries, electrical cable, roofing sheets, fencing and metal tools are all commonly accepted.
Non-ferrous metals are generally more valuable per kilogram. Prices depend on current metal markets, the material’s purity, and how well it’s sorted. Bringing clean, separated scrap usually results in better rates and faster service at the yard.
How do I know if my scrap is worth selling?
To determine if your scrap is valuable, start by identifying the type of metal. Non-ferrous metals like copper, aluminium and brass are usually worth more than ferrous metals like steel.
If you have larger quantities or heavier items—like car parts, building materials or wiring—it’s likely worth selling.
A magnet test can help: ferrous metals are magnetic, non-ferrous are not. You can also check online metal price guides or call your local scrap yard for a rough quote.
