Are You Throwing Away $$$ in Scrap?
If you’re in the trades, chances are you’re dealing with scrap metal on a regular basis. Offcuts pile up. Old fittings get tossed. Broken gear ends up in the skip. But here’s the thing – a lot of that so-called “junk” could actually be putting cash back in your pocket. And there’s a simple magnet test that can sort the trash from the treasure.
At 4G Metals, we talk to tradies every week who are shocked to learn what their scrap’s really worth. Copper, brass, aluminium and stainless steel can all fetch decent money – and even common steel can pay off when handled the right way. The trick is knowing what to keep, when to cash in, and how to sort it.
That’s why we’ve put together a free, no-fluff guide just for tradies: “Top 5 Things Every Tradie Should Know About Scrap”. It breaks down what to look out for, how to avoid missing out on value, and simple ways to get a better payout for the metal you’re already dealing with onsite.
Think you know your ferrous from your non-ferrous? You might be surprised.
In it, we cover:
- The simple magnet test that helps spot high-value metal
- Why timing matters when it comes to scrap prices
- How mixing your load could be costing you money
- What we can’t take – and how to avoid rejected items
- The surprising environmental benefit of every kilo you recycle
Whether you’ve got copper wire coiled in the corner of your ute or old stainless sinks gathering dust in the shed, this guide will help you turn it into something useful: cash.
