Since 2008, Sydney's go-to scrap metal collection company, DPF Recycling, has been one of the best among the services offered. You have just replaced your DPF unit or are stocking up on a lot of old filters to sell, or you're a fleet operator who needs to replace units at the same time throughout a fleet and wants to understand a clean price, or you just wanted to know what a selling price is for the used DPF unit stuck in your boot. Whether you're clearing away a pile of old filters for drop-off, throwing them at the same time in a vehicle fleet, or just want to know a clean price for the old unit that's been hanging in your booth, you've come to the right website.
Call us, send a photo on WhatsApp, or read on. It'll be a quick tour.
Putting away the DPF filter without reading this first is hazardous.
Each year, thousands of DPF filters are discarded in Sydney without the owners knowing what may have passed through them. Not copper. Not steel. Platinum. Palladium. Rhodium.
Every DPF has a ceramic honeycomb substrate onto which a number of these metals are coated. They are employed because they are incredibly efficient at transforming harmful waste gases into less harmful off-gassing. They're well worth the big bucks on the global precious metals market, and you don't need to worry that they're going to disappear because the filter goes bad.
A blown DPF. A cracked one. One that has been in a corner of your workshop for 2 years. It doesn't matter. The precious metal content within won't rust, does not evaporate, and is not bothered by a failing filter. It has not left, and it will not be forgotten, and we will continue to pay you for it.
The Departments that we buy DPFs from are
- Diesel mechanics and auto workshops sell individual diesel units as they replace them or save up a collection of diesel.
- Bigger engines on trucks and heavy vehicles produce more substrate in their larger DPF, coupled with higher payouts.
- Fleet managers remove many units at the same time from one or more of their retired or serviced units.
- We purchase DPFs removed from end-of-life vehicles to dispose of, part of your normal car scrapping.
- These days, an increasing number of workshops will discard your DPF unit for you, but if you have just had a replacement fitted on your vehicle, don't let the shop dispose of your old unit.
We accept a wide range of types of DPF.
- Passenger vehicle DPFs of all major brands: DAF, Toyota, BMW, Volkswagen, Mercedes, Ford, Mazda, Hyundai, Kia
- Safebox Companies' light commercial and ute DPFs from trade/service vehicles
- Heavy Truck, Semi-Trailer, and Bus DPF Converter System
- These are part of the exhaust system and are designated as diesel oxidation catalysts from newer Euro-standard diesel vehicles.
- Damaged, failed, cracked, or heat-affected units
- The substrates and cores are also bare and stripped for DPF.
- Units and/or bulk lots - no minimums, no maximums

What's the value of a used DPF in Australia?
Not all DPF filters are created equal, especially if they come from the trucks of different European firms and the hatchbacks are from Japan. A whole substrate is restored after it is intact. The price of platinum, palladium, and rhodium fluctuates on the international markets daily, and the value of your DPF today could be very different from that of last month.
But we can offer you this one thing: we're not a bunch of flat people who rush to put down everything in one number to save ourselves. We take stock of what you have or don't have:
- The type of car or truck it came up in and the size of the engine.
- If the substrate is whole, partially broken, or burnt.
- Whether or not it is an OEM or aftermarket unit
- What is going on in the precious metals market now?
We then give you a true number and a true explanation. If you've already been quoted somewhere else, tell us, we'll tell you honestly whether it's fair or not.
Read this, and it's easy to sell your scrap DPF.

A Few Things That Set Us Apart
- Since 2008, we have been doing it as we'd been taught by him. More than 15,000 good collections, all over Sydney. DPFs are not new but have existed before.
- We pay on the spot. It is not the same week; it is NOT the next business day. Upon confirmation of your load, you are paid as soon as possible.
- 7 days available. Annual collections are held every Monday to Friday from 7 am-7 pm, Saturday from 8 am to 5 pm, and Sunday from 9 am to 3 pm, and emergency collections as required.
- We take care of the rest as well. Have any of the following types of scrap or old electrical goods from a similar source: Copper wire, aluminium bottle tops, brass, or e-waste? It will be all for one trip, one payment.
- We abide by the rules. All DPF transactions take place using an appropriate photo ID as per NSW regulations. All the units go through eco-recycling centers.

Quick Answers: DPF Recycling Sydney
How much will I get for my scrap DPF in Sydney?
Depends on the vehicle, filter type, substrate condition, and current precious metal prices. No honest buyer can give you a fixed number without seeing it first. Send us a photo, and we'll give you a real quote, usually within the hour.
My DPF is cracked. Is it still worth anything?
Almost certainly yes. A damaged casing or cracked substrate reduces the recovery rate but rarely kills the value completely. We've paid well for filters that looked like rubbish from the outside. Send it through and let us tell you.
Can you collect a bulk lot of DPFs from my workshop?
Yes. We do regular collections from mechanics and wreckers across Sydney. Get in touch, and we'll sort out a time that works around your operation. We're not going to make you work around ours.
Do I need ID?
Yes, NSW law requires photo ID for all automotive component sales. Businesses selling through a trade account can speak to us about the documentation that suits your setup.
Can I sell other scrap at the same time?
Absolutely. Copper, aluminium, brass, batteries, e-waste, bring it all. We'll assess everything in one go and pay you for the lot.
