Scrap Metal Recyclers Adelaide Turn Scrap Into Cash With Top Scrap Metal Prices.
Adelaide prices for scrap were updated on September 1, 2022 at 5:35pm to reflect the current market price of brass & copper increasing.
Please note: we do not come out to houses or businesses and pick up your metallic items, they need to be brought into the scrap yard.
We can not give you a price over the phone because we need to see and weigh the items.
The scrap metal prices per kg, listed below, is for the ‘clean metal’.
Often metals are coated with other metals, or are attached to other metals when turned into everyday items.
Aluminium roller shutters for example can have the aluminium coated with steel, the box the shutter rolls up into often has a steel rod & aluminium radiators can have steel welded to them.
Metal products that are not in their clean ‘pure’ state, including being coated with plastic or
paint etc. will be paid a lesser amount.

The easiest way to determine whether your item has a steel component is to use a commercial grade magnet. If the magnet sticks, you have a ferrous metal in your hands, such as steel. If the magnet doesn’t stick, you have a non-ferrous metal, such as copper, aluminium, brass or stainless steel.
The only way for us to give you an accurate scrap metal prices on items you have is to physically see the item in question, so feel free
to come in with your items for valuation.

Take a look at some of the scrap metal recycling products that we pay cash for.
Pooraka Bottle & Can Recycling Centre owner Carri Hollis has been running the family business for over 30 years.
Since 1989, Carri and her team of experienced and dedicated expert recyclers have been looking after and helping Adelaide
metropolitan residents make money from the South Australian Government's 'Container Deposit Legislation' (CDL) more commonly referred to as the "10 cent refund on selected beverage containers at collection depots when sold in SA" and also by
turning scrap into cash.
Over the years, families, sporting clubs, charity organisations and schools have made thousands of dollars from collecting 10c refund products covered by the container deposit
legislation in South Australia plus other non-deposit products such as scrap metal when they bring them into one of Adelaide's largest undercover recycling collection depots.
As one of the longest standing members of RecyclersSA, Carri implements modern practices to serve her clients in the most efficient and friendly way possible, and is across all changes to the CDL legislation as it happens.
