Metal recycling companies buy scrap metal from businesses and the public. They separate it using machinery and then sell it as sorted metals to processors who turn it into new products. Future Recycling is paid for the scrap metal, so we can pay you for the metals you bring us.
The price we pay for your scrap metal is based on the ‘market rate’ that Future Recycling gets when selling the scrap metal. The higher the volume of metal you have, the better the price Future Recycling may pay. We can arrange direct transfer (EFT) to Account customers with an ABN or reverse EFT straight into your bank account.
How do you work out what to pay me for my scrap metal?
We weigh your vehicle when you arrive (or the full bin if you have a collection). Then after unloading, we weigh your vehicle again (or the empty bin) and pay you based on the weight and the type of material.
I have too much scrap metal to fit into a trailer or ute. What do I do?
