Scrap Metal Pickup & Collections

Benefits of Scrap Metal Pickup Services

Scrap metal has a way of building up quietly. One old fridge becomes three, a pile of off-cuts turns into a storage problem, and before long your garage is no longer usable. For homeowners, businesses, and contractors, our free scrap metal pickup is the most practical answer.

We collect large items directly from your home or business at no charge. That includes old fridges, freezers, white goods, and automotive bodies.

• No transport costs or fuel wasted on scrap yard trips
• No heavy lifting required on your side
• Proper recycling of both ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Legal compliance handled by our licensed team
• Same-day EFT for high-value metals like copper and aluminium

We handle everything from household appliances to industrial equipment when you sell your scrap metal to us. Under the Second-Hand Goods Act (Act 6 of 2009), every scrap transaction legally requires a valid ID or passport and proof of address from the seller. As a registered yard, we manage this mandatory paperwork on your behalf, keeping your transaction fully compliant.

Businesses use our service to clear construction debris and waste steel. Factories and contractors benefit from efficient waste removal that costs nothing. We provide scheduled pickups with confirmation, making the whole process straightforward.

What are the environmental benefits of scrap metal collection?

Scrap metal collection protects the environment by reducing the demand for new mining. Mining damages landscapes and consumes vast amounts of energy. Recycling ferrous and non-ferrous metals keeps valuable material out of landfills and cuts greenhouse gas emissions, because recycling metals like aluminium and steel uses far less energy than extracting new raw material from the ground. Choosing a collection service is a direct contribution to environmental sustainability.

How does scrap metal pickup save time and add convenience?

Our scrap metal collection saves you time by collecting materials straight from your doorstep. You avoid trips to the scrap yard, which means no wasted fuel and no hours spent loading vehicles.

We handle all the heavy lifting and sorting for you, and plan efficient collection routes. Simply submit a collection request form and confirm your appointment. That is all you need to do.

There is one thing worth confirming before you book. Free pickups work best for a worthwhile load, such as larger commercial or industrial volumes. Smaller domestic amounts may need to be dropped off at our yard, or may carry a transport fee. Check our minimum load requirement first.

• Homeowners clearing old appliances and white goods
• Contractors removing construction debris and scrap steel
• Factories disposing of production waste and aluminium offcuts
• Businesses managing regular waste removal schedules

Your staff can focus on core work instead of managing metal disposal. We remove the hassle of transporting heavy appliances, fridge and freezer units, or scrap steel to distant locations, and you get peace of mind knowing your materials are recycled responsibly at our yard.

Common types of scrap metal accepted for collection

We collect many different metals from your home or business. Here is a breakdown of what we accept and why it matters for your payout.

Which household appliances and fixtures can be recycled?

Many household appliances and fixtures hold real value for us.

Your old washing machine contains valuable steel and motor components. Cast iron bathtubs represent significant scrap resources. Refrigerators yield copper and aluminium, air conditioning units carry aluminium coils and copper tubing, and boiler systems deliver cast iron bodies with copper connections.

Copper is where the real money is. As an indicative guide, clean "bare bright" copper wire stripped from old appliances and plumbing sits toward the top of our copper range of R105 to R177 per kilogram, confirmed by graded weight on our weighbridge. Those old copper pipes and cables in your garage are worth far more than most people realise.

Brass door handles and fittings strip out easily. Metal window frames and steel sink basins separate cleanly. businesses and factories generate large quantities of these materials regularly, making bulk collection worthwhile.

What heavy machinery and vehicle parts are accepted?

We collect a wide range of heavy machinery and vehicle parts from properties. Our service removes industrial equipment and automotive material with ease.

If you plan to scrap your car with us, one legal step applies when scrapping a complete vehicle. You must formally deregister the vehicle with your local licensing department through eNaTIS, by handing in the registration certificate and confirming the car is permanently unfit for use. Skipping this step can leave you accumulating licensing fee arrears for a vehicle that no longer physically exists.

Separating non-ferrous pieces such as copper and aluminium at pickup is worthwhile, because clean, sorted material moves through recycling faster and is graded more accurately. Contractors find our service removes bulky items from job sites quickly, and factories benefit from scheduled collection of production waste. Heavy machinery removal requires no effort from your side, at times that suit your operation.

How do I schedule a scrap metal collection?

You can arrange your scrap metal pickup by sending us a WhatsApp or completing our collection request form for quick, reliable service.

What are the steps to book a scrap metal pickup?

Booking a pickup takes just a few simple steps, whether you are a homeowner, business, contractor, factory, or recycling business.

1. Complete our collection request form or message us with your contact and business details.
2. Identify all accepted items you want collected, including old appliances, fridges, freezers, and non-ferrous metals like aluminium.
3. Keep hazardous items separate. Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), intact aerosol cans, pressurised gas cylinders, and anything containing asbestos are classified as hazardous waste and cannot be collected with your scrap. Keep these completely separate from your collection pile.
4. Provide the details we need, including your address, your WhatsApp contact, and the rough quantity of scrap you have.
5. Schedule your pickup and receive confirmation from us about the date and time.
6. Prepare your items by sorting them into piles and keeping them accessible for our team.
7. Arrange safe access to your property so our crew can collect without delays.
8. Receive free collection with responsible, safe recycling for your home or business.

Setting up a recurring slot removes the headache of storing metal on site, which is why contractors working across multiple sites often arrange regular fortnightly collections for construction debris and scaffolding.

How should I prepare scrap metal items for collection?

Getting your scrap ready makes collection day smooth and efficient, and you earn better prices when you sort and clean your items.

1. Identify all accepted items such as old appliances, vehicle parts, and metal fixtures before collection day.
2. Remove hazardous materials, as these cannot be collected or recycled safely.
3. Clean items to remove dirt, grease, and debris that reduce their value.
4. Sort different metals into separate piles; aluminium, copper, and steel fetch different prices.
5. Drain all fluids from vehicles and machinery to prevent contamination during transport.
6. Gather substantial items in one accessible location so our team can load them quickly.
7. Separate fridge and freezer units from other appliances, as these need special handling for refrigerant.
8. Stack items safely so nothing blocks access to your collection point.
9. Message us to confirm which specific items we accept.

Proper preparation takes little time but makes a real difference. Here is where most people leave money on the table: removing non-metal attachments such as plastic, rubber, or steel screws turns "dirty" scrap into "clean" scrap, moving it into a higher grade and a better rate. A few extra minutes to drain and separate items usually means better yields at pickup.

Conclusion

Scrap metal pickup makes recycling simple and rewarding for homeowners, businesses, and contractors alike. You save time by scheduling a free collection from your property, whether you have old appliances, vehicle parts, or industrial machinery.

Recycling metal protects the environment and puts money in your pocket. Non-ferrous metals like copper, aluminium, and brass carry real value, and a few minutes of preparation can increase your payout.
