What We Buy
Scrap Electric Motors
Burnt-out pump motors, old alternators and starter motors, compressor and machinery motors. They're full of copper windings, so they're worth more than plain steel.
Overview
Copper Inside
An electric motor is a steel or aluminium case wrapped around copper windings. That copper is why motors have their own price, well above steel, and why you shouldn't throw them in with the rest of your scrap.
There's no need to pull them apart. Drain any oil, bring them in whole, and we'll weigh them and pay for them as motors.
Grades We Buy
Electric Motors
Motors from pumps, compressors, machinery, fans and appliances.
Alternators
Car, truck and machinery alternators, whole.
Starter Motors
Starters from cars, trucks, tractors and boats.
Sealed Units
Fridge and air-con compressors, once the gas has been removed by a licensed technician.
How It Works
Selling scrap at our Hallam yard takes a few minutes.
Bring it in
Bring your scrap to our Hallam yard in the car, ute or trailer. For bigger loads, we can collect.
We sort and weigh it
We sort your metal by grade and weigh each grade on its own, so every kilo is paid at the right price.
Show your ID
Victorian law requires us to record photo ID from everyone who sells us scrap metal.
Get paid
We pay by bank transfer, as scrap metal dealers in Victoria can't pay in cash. Bring your BSB and account number.
