Frequently Asked Questions

  • What types of scrap steel can I recycle?

    Scrap steel is a broad category that includes any magnetic metal. Common examples include roofing iron, car parts, structural beams, steel off-cuts, whitegoods (without electronics), pipes, and metal shelving. These items are typically separated and priced by grade or weight. 


    You can bring light and heavy gauge steel to most reputable scrap yards for recycling. Remove non-metal parts, such as rubber or plastic, to maximise your return and streamline processing.

  • How is scrap steel priced and paid for?

    Scrap steel is generally priced by tonne, and rates can vary depending on market demand, steel grade, and whether it’s mixed with other materials. Many facilities use a certified public weighbridge to determine your load's gross and tare weights. 

  • Can businesses arrange regular scrap steel pickups?

    Yes, many scrap metal recyclers offer ongoing collection services for businesses, especially those generating regular volumes of steel waste. These services typically include a custom bin hire arrangement with scheduled pickups, fast processing, and complete documentation for compliance.
