How to Sell Your Scrap Metal — Step by Step

Step 1: Gather and Sort Your Scrap

Separate different metal types if possible. Sorted metals fetch higher prices than mixed scrap. If you are unsure what metals you have, just bring them in — we will sort and identify them for you.

Step 2: Contact Us for a Quote

Send photos of your scrap metal via WhatsApp (9091 4568) for a quick quote. Include the estimated quantity and type of metal if you know it.

Step 3: Drop Off or Schedule Pickup

  • Drop-Off: Bring any quantity to our shop at 61 Kaki Bukit Ave 1, #01-09, Singapore 417943. Open Mon-Sat, 8:30 AM – 8:30 PM.
  • Ad-Hoc Collection: For quantities under 500kg, we arrange pickup at your location.
  • Regular Collection: For businesses with over 500kg regularly, we provide scheduled collection with bins/skips.

Learn more about our collection options.

Step 4: Weighing and Payment

Your scrap is weighed on our calibrated scales. You receive instant payment via cash, bank transfer, or PayNow. No waiting.

Tips to Get the Best Price for Your Scrap Metal

  1. Sort by metal type: Separated copper, aluminium, and steel fetch better prices than mixed scrap.
  2. Remove non-metal attachments: Strip plastic insulation from wires, remove wood or rubber from metal items where practical.
  3. Sell in larger quantities: Bulk sellers often get better per-kg rates.
  4. Check prices before selling: WhatsApp us to get today’s prices before committing.
  5. Sell regularly: Metal prices fluctuate. Selling regularly rather than hoarding can help you catch good prices.
  6. Know your metals: A magnet test can help — if a magnet sticks, it is ferrous (iron/steel). If not, it could be aluminium, copper, brass, or stainless steel, which are typically more valuable.
