Lead

Scrap lead, handled safely and paid fairly

Lead is dense, valuable by weight, and needs careful handling. Brothers buys scrap lead in Melbourne at daily-market rates: flashing, weights and sheet. Bring it to the yard or book a free pickup. We weigh it in front of you and pay the same day.

Lead we buy

Lead flashing.

Roof and chimney flashing offcuts.

Lead weights.

Wheel weights, dive and keel weights, sash weights.

Lead sheet.

Sheet offcuts and old roofing lead.

Handling and safety

Lead is handled under EPA Victoria waste tracking. We take it sorted and we record it. Keep lead separate from other metals so it pays its own rate and so it is handled correctly. We will not blend it into mixed by accident.

What not to bring

We do not take lead-based paint waste, contaminated soil, or anything that is not solid recoverable lead. Lead-acid batteries are bought separately on the batteries page.
