Types of Scrap Steel We Buy
Steel scrap is one of the most commonly processed materials in the recycling industry. At Prime Metal Recycling Melbourne, we handle a wide range of steel grades from residential, commercial, and industrial sources.
Heavy Steel Scrap
Heavy steel includes thick and dense materials such as beams, structural supports, and industrial machinery parts. Due to its weight, it is one of the more valuable steel categories.
Oxycut & Oversized Steel
This type of steel is usually generated from demolition work and industrial dismantling. It often comes in irregular shapes and requires cutting and processing before recycling.
Light Gauge Steel
Light-gauge steel includes thinner materials such as roofing sheets, panels, and light fabrication materials. It is easier to handle but generally lower in value compared to heavy steel.
Car Bodies & Automotive Steel
Steel from vehicles and automotive parts is widely recycled. Pricing depends on how well non-metal components have been removed and the level of contamination.
Structural Steel
Structural steel is commonly sourced from construction sites, warehouses, and demolition projects. Its density and weight make it a consistent contributor to recycling loads.
Industrial Steel Scrap
Industrial steel includes machinery parts, fabrication waste, pipes, and workshop offcuts. Clean industrial steel generally achieves better rates.
What Affects Steel Scrap Prices?
Steel scrap prices in Melbourne fluctuate based on global steel demand, construction activity, energy costs, and export market conditions. Since steel is used heavily in infrastructure and manufacturing, its pricing is closely linked to industrial activity.
Heavier and cleaner steel generally achieves better rates, while contaminated or mixed steel receives lower pricing due to additional processing requirements. Bulk loads from commercial or industrial clients often receive more competitive rates because they reduce handling costs.
