Wire Metal and Other

Ferrous Metal

These are light steel, like sheet iron and rain water tanks. You can also bring in your heavy steel, like car motors, thick steel poles or beams. Just contact your local centre to see what they accept.

Recycling steel also helps reduce your impact on the environment by reducing energy, water and raw materials used in the production of steel products. Steel can be recycled over and over again.

Did you know you can recycle unwanted cars? Bring in any type of vehicle, but it must be free of fuel, all oils, radiator fluid, and the battery has to be removed. Don’t forget to take any gas cylinders out first.

We pay for some scrap metals. to see what items we pay for read about recycling Scrap Metal or give us a call for up to-date-pricing.

Do you have a magnet handy? Even a fridge magnet will do, if the magnet sticks to the metal it’s most likely common steel or iron which is ferrous metal.

Ferrous metals are not very valuable however, they may be worth something and can be recycled, which means we can keep them out of landfill.

If the magnet does not stick, it’s possible you have non-ferrous metal on your hands, which in some cases can be quite valuable. Non-ferrous metal includes copper, aluminium, brass, stainless steel, bronze and cast iron.

Our prices change on a daily basis depending on the market. For the most accurate and up-to-date pricing phone your friendly depot manager for the best price possible click the link below to find your closest Scout Recycling Centre.

In some cases, we will be more than happy to pick up the metal so you don’t have to worry about it. Just give us a call and we will let you know.
