Scrap Metal Prices are based on the prevailing rate as traded on The London Metal Exchange (LME), the world centre for non-ferrous metal trading. Scrap Metal is priced based on what type it is and what condition the metal is in. It is difficult to provide an exact figure until the Scrap Metal materials are sighted, weighed and graded.

In addition to the Steel Fabrication and Supply Company, Scott Metals also operates a metal recycling business. This enterprise, Scott Metals Recycling Services, recycles all forms of metal from Aluminium to Zinc and is situated in the heart of Brisbane at 16 Wellington Road, Woolloongabba.

As an accredited scrap metal buyer and authorized scrap metal merchant, we offer competitive scrap metal prices on Copper, Brass, Aluminium, Lead, Stainless Steel, Electric Motors, PVC Cable, etc.
