• Metals Accepted: All ferrous metals (steel, iron) and non-ferrous metals (copper, brass, aluminium).
• Legal Requirements: Our transactions strictly follow the Second-Hand Goods Act, requiring a valid ID and proof of residence/business.
• Service Areas: Free industrial collections,.
• Payment Methods: Same-day EFT processed directly after we weigh your load (no cash, per the Second-Hand Goods Act).

How Much Is Scrap Steel and Iron Worth?

Heavy steel scrap typically sells for between R3.00 and R4.00 per kilogram (R3,000 – R4,000 per tonne) depending on the grade and lack of contamination. Clean structural steel without heavy rust or excessive paint always commands the highest premium at our yard.

Because ferrous metals are highly dense, steel and cast iron prices are usually calculated per metric tonne rather than per kilogram. We offer accurate metal grading to ensure your industrial waste yields the maximum possible return based on current market demands.

Where Can I Sell Bulk Ferrous Metals Near Me?

The is a major hub for manufacturing, meaning massive volumes of metal waste are generated daily. Our yard serves the industrial nodes of and and is perfectly equipped to handle the large-scale commercial deliveries you bring when you sell your scrap metal to us.

We use our own certified weighbridge to measure your flatbed trucks upon arrival and departure. This subtracts the tare weight accurately, ensuring you are paid exactly for the payload delivered, down to the last kilogram.

Common Types of Ferrous Scrap Recycled

The metal recycling process relies on strict categorization. Ferrous metals contain iron and are magnetic, making them straightforward to separate using industrial electro-magnets. Heavy engineering workshops regularly supply us with these highly sought-after materials.

• Structural Steel: H-beams, I-beams, angle iron, and thick steel plates from demolition sites.
• Cast Iron: Engine blocks from scrapped cars, old industrial machinery, heavy pipes, and manhole covers.
• Rebar: Reinforcing steel bars recovered from concrete crushing operations.
• Light Steel: Corrugated roof sheeting, metal offcuts, and obsolete appliances.
• Iron Turnings: Metal shavings and swarf generated by CNC machining and lathes.

We Also Buy Non-Ferrous Metals (Aluminium, Copper & Brass)

While iron and steel provide bulk weight, non-ferrous metals offer incredible per-kilogram value. If you are clearing a factory space, you will likely uncover copper wiring, brass plumbing valves, and aluminium extrusions alongside your heavy steel.

We grade these materials separately to ensure you benefit from their premium market rates.

Free Industrial Scrap Collection Services

Transporting tonnes of structural steel requires specialized logistics. We offer complimentary collection services for factories, construction sites, and fabrication workshops across the greater area.

Our fleet includes skip bin placements for ongoing waste management, as well as crane-equipped trucks for the heavy, once-off removals you need when you sell scrap machinery and plant. By outsourcing your scrap logistics, your team can focus entirely on core business operations while we handle the heavy lifting.

Trust Signals: Licensed Metal Buyers & Accurate Weighing

Selling to a fully compliant yard like ours protects your business from legal risks. All our metal recovery processes align with environmental standards, ensuring that rust, oils, and contaminants are handled safely before the steel is sent to local foundries.

Transparency is the cornerstone of our operation. When our trucks collect your materials, or when you deliver them personally, we provide you with a fully itemized weighbridge receipt.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between heavy steel and light steel scrap?

Heavy steel refers to thick, structural materials like I-beams and heavy machinery parts, usually thicker than 6mm. Light steel includes thinner materials like roof sheeting and appliance casings. Heavy steel fetches a higher price per tonne because it yields more pure metal during the smelting process.

Do you place skip bins at construction sites?

Yes. We provide ongoing waste management solutions for demolition scrap and site clearance on construction sites. We can place dedicated skip bins for your steel and iron scrap and swap them out regularly as they fill up.

How do I get paid for bulk metal deliveries?

Once your truck has been weighed on our certified scales, we process payment immediately. Commercial clients usually prefer instant EFT, and we pay every seller by same-day EFT, strictly in accordance with the Second-Hand Goods Act.

Do I need to clean the rust off my steel scrap before selling?

Light surface rust is perfectly acceptable and does not heavily impact the price. However, excessive degradation, thick layers of concrete, or heavy oil contamination will downgrade the material class. Clean steel always commands the best rates.
