Frequently Asked Questions
What scrap metal prices does METALMAX Recyclers publish?
We publish live price guides for copper, brass, and aluminium, the three metals we collect most often across Sydney. Each guide breaks pricing down by grade so you know what to expect before you book a collection.
Why do scrap metal prices change so often?
Copper, brass, and aluminium are all traded on global commodity markets, so their scrap value moves daily with international demand. We update our price guides regularly, but call 0474 887 007 for today’s confirmed rate before you sell.
Which scrap metal is worth the most per kilo?
Copper is consistently the most valuable metal we buy, especially clean bare bright copper wire. Brass is the next most valuable, followed by aluminium, though clean, well-sorted material in any metal earns a better price.
Do you buy metals other than copper, brass, and aluminium?
Yes. We also collect steel, stainless steel, lead, batteries, catalytic converters, DPFs, and general mixed scrap. Contact us with details of your material and we’ll confirm a price on the spot.
How do I get the best price for my scrap metal?
Sort your metals by type, keep them clean and dry, and separate high-grade material (like bare bright copper) from mixed or coated scrap. Larger, sorted loads consistently earn better rates than small mixed batches.
