What Affects Whitegoods Scrap Prices?
The value of whitegoods isn't based on size alone. Different appliances contain varying amounts of steel, copper, aluminium, stainless steel, wiring, compressors, and other recyclable materials. This means two appliances that look similar can have very different scrap values.
Several factors influence your final payment.
| Factor | Impact |
|---|---|
| Current Global Metal Prices | Prices change daily |
| Metal Content | More copper or stainless steel = higher value |
| Quantity | Larger loads receive better rates |
| Clean Material | Higher payout |
| Mixed Metals | Lower payout |
| Rust & Corrosion | Can reduce value |
| Attached Plastic & Rubber | May reduce payout |
| Accessibility | Difficult access may affect collection |
| Bulk Commercial Loads | Custom commercial pricing |
| Heavy Equipment Required | Site assessment may be required |
Why Some Whitegoods Are Worth More
A washing machine contains a heavy steel drum and copper motor windings, while a refrigerator contains a compressor, copper tubing, aluminium components, and steel casing. Hot water systems often contain significant amounts of steel and copper, making them one of the higher-paying household appliances.
Appliances that are clean, complete, and free from excessive contamination generally receive better prices than heavily damaged or partially dismantled units.
If you're clearing multiple appliances from a renovation, rental property, office, restaurant, or commercial kitchen, combining everything into one collection usually results in a better overall payout than individual collections. See our steel scrap prices Sydney guide for the base steel content in most appliance casings.

Frequently AskedQuestions
How much is a scrap fridge worth in Sydney?
Most household refrigerators are worth between $10 and $50, depending on size, condition, compressor type, copper content, and current metal prices. Commercial refrigeration units may be worth more.
Do you collect broken or non-working appliances?
Yes. We collect working and non-working whitegoods. Scrap value is determined by the recyclable metal content rather than whether the appliance still operates.
Do I need to clean or empty the appliance before collection?
We recommend emptying and, where applicable, defrosting appliances before collection. Clean appliances are quicker to process and may attract a slightly better price.
Is the whitegoods collection free?
For qualifying loads, yes. Most household and commercial collections are completed at no additional cost. Very small collections may be assessed individually.
How quickly can you collect my whitegoods?
Most Sydney customers receive same-day or next-day collections depending on location and booking availability.
Do landlords and businesses receive better pricing?
Yes. Bulk collections from rental properties, apartment complexes, commercial kitchens, hotels, offices, and renovation projects generally qualify for customised commercial pricing.
Which Sydney areas do you service?
We service all major Sydney regions, including Western Sydney, North Shore, Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, South Sydney, and surrounding suburbs.
How is the final price determined?
Our team weighs each appliance and assesses its metal composition, condition, accessibility, and current market prices before confirming your final payment on-site.
