In order to receive the most value from scrap metal recycling in Melbourne, Australia, you must do business with the right scrap metal dealer. Otherwise, you may be limited on what metals the dealer will buy from you and or you will not make as much money for your scrap. To help you locate the best one for your needs, read our following advice on what to look for in a dealer of scrap metal.

Dealer Should Pay the Latest Rates

A reputable scrap metal dealer will pay you the most current rates for your classification of scrap metals. At times, the rates change daily, so it is best to check back often to learn what the going rate is on a given day. Also, the dealer should pay you on the spot either by check or electronic transfer, which is in accordance with the present laws.

Find a Dealer Who Buys a Wide Assortment of Scrap Metal and Related Items

Locate a dealer who purchases a vast array of scrap non-ferrous and ferrous metals, and items containing metals. The following is an example of what we mean by this:

  • Bronze
  • Brass
  • Steel
  • Stainless steel
  • Copper
  • Aluminium sheeting, extrusion, rims and more
  • Batteries
  • Electric motors
  • Copper radiators
  • Alternators
  • Starter motors
  • Radiators
  • Scrap whitegoods
  • Machinery
  • Scrap cars

For Your Convenience, the Dealer Needs to be Local
The dealer needs to be in your vicinity for your convenience. Recycling scrap metal will be much easier this way, whether you have a small or large load to take to the dealer.

Other Services That the Right Scrap Metal Dealer Will Offer

  • Another service that you may want in your dealer of scrap metal is the free pickup service for scrap cars. After all, unless you own a tow truck, you may have a difficult time delivering it to the dealer to receive payment.
  • You might be interested in buying scrap metal rather than selling it. If you are, be certain to locate a dealer that does both.
  • If you are not local, but in another country, you may be interested in importing scrap metal from a dealer here in Melbourne, Australia.
