Why Bring Scrap Metal to the Scrap Yard?

Bringing your scrap metal to the scrap yard is an alluring reciprocal enterprise that allows for global sustainability while offsetting some business costs.

At Super Metal Recycling, we are proud to be part of a community in Melbourne  area that values a sustainable future by offering incentivized solutions for appropriate scrap metal removal and disposal. 

Apart from the whole doing-the-right-thing-for-cash aspect of scrap metal disposal, state and federal laws also dictate what can and can’t be done with scrap metal. Our expert team is well-versed in regulation compliance.

How Much Scrap Metal Is Enough to Justify a Trip to the Scrap Yard?

Financial returns on scrap metal fluctuate across regions. At Super Metal Recycling, we are here to help determine the potential profitability of your scrap metal recycling project by offering transparent consultations to obtain a price quote. Whether opting for a scheduled pickup or planning a trip to the scrap yard, understanding the worth of your scrap metal is a good first step to decide if it’s time to trade your scrap for cash.

5 Ways to Change that Pile of Metal into a Stack of Bills

  1. Identify the kind of scrap metal available to you. Create “high-priority piles” by sorting through ferrous metals like steel or iron versus non-ferrous metals like copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, and bronze. Non-ferrous metals fetch a higher buying price and should be sorted into your high-priority pile. The best part about this stage of this process is that it is easy and inexpensive to get started with; besides some elbow grease, the only other tool you may need is a standard magnet. If the magnet sticks to your metal, it is ferrous, and if it does not, the metal is non-ferrous.
  2. Get an idea of current pricing. Some apps and websites  provide you with information to get an idea of what your scrap treasure’s market value is. However, Super Metal Recycling is more than happy to help by providing you with a free quote.
  3. Find a reliable and reputable scrap metal yard that can guide you through the process. At Super Metal Recycling, we can help reduce the stress of feeling like you have the burden of excess scrap metal on your shoulders. 
  4. Build relationships with local scrap yard dealers. As with any business, it’s not just what you know, it’s who you know as well. When getting to know a dealer, it is important to consider what kinds of metals they will accept. Also, ask about how they pay clients. Super Metal Recycling would love to get to know you and your scrap metal objectives so we can work together to meet them.
  5. Grow your scrap pile. Ask about ewaste business if you’re in charge of recycling for your company, rather than letting scrap metal waste find its way to landfills.
