Scrap collection. Sorted and paid.

Selling Reclaim Metal Traders should not be a logistical headache or a gamble with uncalibrated scales. We help industrial yards and workshops clear cluttered space while turning heavy metal waste into immediate working capital. If you are sitting on factory offcuts or demolition debris, you are losing money every day it sits idle.

• Unreliable collection trucks that stall your site production.
• Unfair weighbridge readings that undervalue heavy loads.
• Mixed-metal downgrades where high-value copper is priced as low-grade steel.
• Security risks associated with storing bulk scrap on-site.

What You'll Learn

• Legal requirements for SAPS Second-Hand Goods Act compliance.

Technical Grading: Metals We Buy

Our facility processes high volumes of both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Identifying the specific grade of your metal is the difference between a standard payout and a premium return. We use specialized testing to ensure you aren't penalized for high-quality alloys.

• Copper Scrap: Bright Bare (Millberry) wire, stripped electrical cables, and clean plumbing tubing.
• Aluminium Grades: Clean extrusions (window frames), cast aluminium, and manufacturing offcuts.
• Brass & Bronze: Heavy industrial valves, honey brass, and water meters.
• Ferrous Metals: Heavy Melting Steel (HMS 1 & 2), structural I-beams, and sub-grade cast iron.
• Specialty Items: Electric motors, stainless steel (304/316), and lead.

The "Scrap Math": Maximizing Your Payout

Payout value is determined by the density and purity of the material. Stripping PVC coating from copper wire yields "Bright Bare" wire, which fetches a significantly higher price per kg than unstripped or "burnt" wire. Mechanical stripping is always preferred, as cable burning is illegal and damages the metal's molecular structure.

For ferrous metals, volume vs. weight logistics matter. Heavy Melting Steel (HMS) is denser and more valuable to foundries than "light steel" like corrugated roofing or appliances. Sorting your load before the weighbridge prevents the entire batch from being downgraded to the lowest value metal in the pile.

Estimated Scrap Metal Prices

Prices fluctuate daily based on the London Metal Exchange (LME) and the rand exchange rate. Delivering clean, separated metals ensures the highest possible spot rate for your inventory.

Industrial Logistics & Site Clearances

We provide heavy-duty logistics for manufacturing plants and engineering workshops along the and transport routes. Heavy-load equipment and collection access must be confirmed when arranging a quotation. We place 6m³ to 30m³ bins at no cost for high-volume producers.

Our site clearance teams handle factory decommissioning and demolition scrap removal. We provide on-site sorting to separate ferrous from non-ferrous metals, maximizing your bulk returns. Every load is accompanied by a weight certificate and an audit trail for your corporate environmental reporting.

Legal Compliance & Safety

We operate in strict accordance with the Second-Hand Goods Act (SHGA). This protects both the buyer and seller from the risks associated with stolen infrastructure or illegal trade. We cannot process any payout without the required documentation.

• Mandatory ID: A valid ID or Passport is required for every transaction.
• Proof of Residence: Necessary for recurring industrial accounts and large bulk payouts.
• Infrastructure Ban: We have a zero-tolerance policy for municipal cables, manhole covers, or rail infrastructure.
• Certificates: We issue safe destruction certificates for sensitive industrial equipment or branded machinery.
