Scrap metal recycling, Brooklyn
Scrap metal recycling for Brooklyn’s transport yards and workshops.
Metal Plus buys scrap metal from the businesses in Brooklyn’s industrial precinct: transport and container yards, depots, quarry and recycling operators, and the small manufacturers and workshops in between. Worn truck and trailer parts, damaged racking, yard steel and end-of-life plant make up most of it.
Brooklyn is one of the shortest runs we do from Braybrook. A yard that keeps producing scrap can have a bin, swapped before it overflows. A heap that has been building for years is collected, and anything from a house can come to the yard. Graded in front of you, paid on the spot.
Where the yard is
Just past Tottenham.
Brooklyn sits just south of the yard, on the other side of Tottenham. That makes it one of the easiest runs we do, and it means a business here can have a bin swapped, or a one-off heap collected, without it turning into a day’s planning.
What we see from here
Scrap metal we buy from Brooklyn.
This is what turns up from Brooklyn, and roughly who it comes from.
Transport and fleet
Brake drums, springs, rims, chassis steel and worn trailer parts from the truck and transport yards. Truck batteries and aluminium bodywork are worth keeping out of the steel.
Scrap steel and cast ironYard and depot clear-outs
Damaged racking, pallet cages, strapping, gates and old fencing from the storage yards and depots. Usually a heap that has been growing for years.
Plant and workshop
End-of-life machinery, electric motors, tanks and fabrication offcuts from the workshops and small manufacturers. Motors and cable are graded apart from the steel.
Scrap electric motorsHow it works

Weighing and payment
You watch the scales. That is the whole policy.
The single most common worry people have about selling scrap is that the weight will not be right and there is no way to check. So we took the question off the table.
- Your load is weighed where you can see it. Nothing goes out the back and comes back with a number on it.
- You get a docket with the weight on it. Written down, in your hand, before anything is settled.
- Grades are shown to you, not just quoted. If your copper is two different grades we will separate it in front of you and explain why.
- Payment is settled on the spot. Once the weight is agreed, that is it. No invoice, no waiting.

Read Syafiq Azroy's review on GoogleI recently had an old accident-damaged car that I needed to get rid of while I was in Bendigo. After searching on Google, I found MetalPlus in Melbourne, and I’m really glad I chose them.
The whole process was smooth and hassle-free. They were professional, easy to deal with, and offered me a fair price for my car. When I dropped the car off, everything was handled quickly, and I received my payment without any issues.
I’m very happy with the service I received and would definitely recommend MetalPlus to anyone looking to sell a scrap or unwanted car. Great experience overall!

Where we go
One of the hardest-working industrial pockets in Melbourne.
Brooklyn is mostly industrial. Its industrial precinct holds more than sixty businesses: quarrying, material recycling, transport yards, container storage and a long tail of small manufacturers and workshops. There is a small residential pocket too, but most of the metal that comes to us from Brooklyn comes from businesses.
That mix produces a particular kind of scrap: worn truck and trailer parts, damaged racking and pallet cages, steel from yard repairs and plant that has reached the end of its life. It builds up in a corner of a yard until somebody decides to deal with it, and it is almost always more than they expected.
The precinct has put real work into its dust and its neighbours in recent years, with local operators signing an agreement with EPA Victoria to improve air quality. A scrap bin that is swapped before it overflows is a small part of keeping a yard tidy.

Questions
Scrap metal questions from Brooklyn.
The ones we get asked most from Brooklyn. Anything else, ring and ask.
Call 0452 220 422Can we have a bin at our yard in Brooklyn?
Yes, for anything over a tonne, and there is no charge for the bin. It sits on your site, fills at your pace and we swap it. Ring with the metal, how fast it builds up and where a bin could go.
Do you take old truck and trailer parts?
Yes. Drums, springs, rims, chassis rails and bodywork are all normal loads. Steel, aluminium and batteries are graded separately, so keeping them apart on the ground is worth doing if it is easy.
There are recyclers all over Brooklyn. Why use you?
Because you watch your load go on the scales, you see it graded, and you get the weight on a docket before anything is paid. Being paid on the spot for a weight you saw yourself is the part worth comparing, wherever you take it.
We only have a small amount. Is it worth it?
Bring it to the yard. There is no minimum at the gate, and it is a short run from Brooklyn. We are open 7am to 6:30pm on weekdays and 7am to 5pm on Saturday.
Can I get cash for scrap metal in Brooklyn?
You are paid on the spot once the weight is agreed, whether we take it from your yard or you bring it in. That is usually what people mean by cash for scrap. How a scrap metal dealer in Victoria may pay is set by state law for every yard, and our page on the law explains what it allows.
What are scrap metal prices like for a Brooklyn transport yard?
Heavy steel like drums, springs and chassis rails is paid by weight at steel rates, so the volume is what makes it worthwhile. Aluminium bodywork, truck batteries and cable are paid at their own, higher grades, which is why keeping them out of the steel pays. Ring and we will tell you what to expect.
Got metal sitting there doing nothing?
Ring us and we will tell you what it is worth and whether it is worth bringing in. Takes two minutes and it costs you nothing to ask.
