Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What metals does VIC Copper Recycling buy in Melbourne?
We buy a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals including copper, brass, aluminium, bronze, lead, stainless steel, iron, electric motors, alloy wheels, wire and cables, and more. If you’re unsure whether we take a particular metal, give us a call and we’ll let you know.
How is scrap metal priced?
Metal prices are based on current market rates and the type and condition of the metal you bring in. Clean, well-sorted metal generally fetches a higher price than mixed or contaminated loads. We weigh everything on certified scales and explain the pricing before you’re paid.
Do I need to sort my metal before I arrive?
It’s not essential, but sorting your metal into ferrous and non-ferrous piles beforehand can speed up the weigh-in process and may get you a better price, since mixed loads are often valued at the lower rate of the metals involved.
Do you offer pickup for large loads of scrap metal?
Yes. For larger volumes, such as from a demolition site, factory clean-out, or renovation, we can arrange a collection instead of requiring you to transport it to our yard. Contact us with details of your load and location.
How quickly do you pay for metal recycling?
We pay cash on the spot as soon as your metal has been sorted and weighed. There’s no waiting around for bank transfers or invoices to be processed.
Is metal recycling in Melbourne environmentally beneficial?
Absolutely. Recycling metal reduces the need for new mining and raw material extraction, cuts down on landfill, and lowers the energy required to produce new metal products, making it one of the most effective ways to reduce environmental impact.
