Common Types of Scrap Metal Recycled

Ferrous metals are metals that contain iron, including steel and cast iron, which typically fetch a lower price per kilogram due to their abundance. Non-ferrous metals like copper, aluminium, and brass hold a much higher market value and will not stick to a standard magnet.

Understanding the scrap metal grading process helps you maximize your payout. We process a wide variety of materials at our drop-off centre:

• Copper scrap: Bright Millberry wire, stripped electrical cables, and copper geyser tubing.
• Aluminium scrap: Extruded window frames, cast aluminium vehicle rims, and clean sheet aluminium.
• Brass components: Heavy industrial valves, brass plumbing fittings, and water meters.
• Ferrous metals: Structural steel I-beams, corrugated iron roofing, and cast iron pipes.
• Specialty alloys: Stainless steel manufacturing offcuts and redundant restaurant appliances.

Industrial Scrap Logistics & Service Areas

A large amount of scrap metal comes from engineering workshops and manufacturing facilities in areas like,. These local businesses generate heavy volumes of steel shavings, copper wire offcuts, and stainless steel scrap.

We supply heavy-duty skips and industrial bins to commercial sites. When your bin is full, our logistics team swaps it out, weighs the contents at our certified weighbridge, and pays you directly for the materials.

Separating your materials before collection is the most effective way to increase profits. Stripping plastic insulation off wiring and removing rubber gaskets from aluminium extrusions upgrades your material from dirty to clean, unlocking the highest possible payout tier.

Scrap Dealer Regulations & Compliance

Operating a licensed scrap yard requires strict adherence to local legislation. To combat cable theft and illegal trading, the Police Service (SAPS) enforces rigid documentation rules for all metal buyers.

Anyone selling scrap material must provide a valid ID book or smart card, alongside proof of residential address. We maintain fully transparent payment practices and record all transactions to ensure complete legal compliance and recycling safety.
