What We Buy
Scrap Lead & Batteries
Old car, truck and boat batteries, roof flashing and wheel weights. Lead is heavy, so it adds up fast, and lead-acid batteries are among the most recycled products there are.
Overview
Don't Bin Your Battery
A car battery is mostly lead, and it doesn't belong in the bin: lead and battery acid are harmful in landfill. We buy old lead-acid batteries from cars, trucks, boats, tractors and forklifts and send them for recycling.
We also buy soft lead, such as roof flashing, sheet and pipe, and lead wheel weights. Lead is heavy, so even a small amount is worth bringing in.

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.
Bringing In Batteries
Lead-acid batteries are safe to carry when they're whole and upright. Lithium batteries are another story: they can catch fire when they're crushed, so they can't go anywhere near the scrap.
