Trade Metals FAQs

Got questions about trading metals with Hayes Metals? We're here to help. If you're unsure about the types of metals we accept, curious about the recycling process, or interested in how we determine the value of your scrap, check out our FAQ section or get in touch.

The taps and faucets have different materials, do I need to take them apart so its only Brass?

Taps and Faucets usually only contain a small amount steel so we will generally assess and purchase them as 'Clean Brass'.

When our experts assess the fittings, they will inform you if there is a higher steel content, which would result in a slightly lower price due to the additional processing required.

Can you collect my scrap from site, as I am too busy to come in?

Absolutely, please contact us at 09 633 4000 to discuss what you would like collected. We have a range of options, bin sizes and specialist trucks available to collect your scrap.

What prices will I get for my scrap metal?

Prices fluctuate almost daily due to factors like global pricing and demand.

To get the best prices, try to separate different metals and remove any non-metallic parts as much as possible. This helps us save time and processing costs, so we are able to offer you a higher price for your scrap.
