Steel

Scrap steel, taken by the kilo or the tonne

Steel is the volume metal. It does not pay like copper, but it adds up fast and it is the easiest thing to clear off a site. Brothers buys scrap steel in Melbourne at daily-market rates: structural steel, mild steel offcuts, plate and whitegoods. Free pickup, drop-off, or a bin for ongoing sites.

Steel we buy

Heavy structural steel.

Beams, columns, RHS, channel.

Mild steel offcuts.

Plate, sheet, bar, general fabrication drops.

Whitegoods and metal furniture.

Old appliances, frames, shelving.

Light steel.

Roofing, fencing, thin sheet, graded as light gauge.

Retail by the kilo, sites by the tonne

Small loads are weighed per kilogram at the yard. Demolition and ongoing sites are settled per tonne with a bin on a schedule. Either way, the weigh is on calibrated scales and the rate is the daily-market figure quoted before collection.

How to clear steel fast

You do not need to cut or sort heavy steel. Bring it as it is, or have us bin it on site. If steel is mixed with copper, brass or cable, pull the high-value metal first so it pays its own rate instead of the steel rate.
