Scrap metal recycling, Campbellfield
Scrap metal recycling for Campbellfield’s factories, workshops and depots.
Metal Plus buys scrap metal from the manufacturers, fabrication and engineering shops, transport businesses and warehouses along the Hume Highway through Campbellfield and Somerton, and from the homes around Broadmeadows and Coolaroo. Pressings, offcuts, turnings, chassis and trailer steel, castings and worn-out plant are the usual loads.
Our yard is in Braybrook, round the Western Ring Road, so most Campbellfield scrap comes to us on our trucks rather than on a trailer. A site producing scrap every week can have a bin on the ground, swapped as it fills, and a one-off factory clear-out is collected. Either way the weights and grades are shown to you, and you are paid on the spot.
Where the yard is
Round the ring road from Braybrook.
Campbellfield sits where the Western Ring Road crosses the Hume Highway, and our yard in Braybrook is near the same ring road on the western side. The northern estates are a regular run for our trucks rather than a special trip, so the useful conversation is what you have and how fast it builds up. From a house, the yard takes any amount, Monday to Saturday.
What we see from here
Scrap metal we buy from Campbellfield.
This is what turns up from Campbellfield, and roughly who it comes from.
Vehicle and transport
Chassis and trailer steel, mudguards, pressings, brake parts and castings from the automotive and transport businesses along the highway. Cast aluminium is graded apart from the steel, so keep it to one side.
Scrap steel and cast ironFabrication and engineering
Sheet and plate offcuts, drops, bar ends and turnings from the shops in the Campbellfield and Somerton estates. Stainless kept apart from mild steel is paid at its own grade.
The stainless grades we buyPlant and machinery
Presses, compressors, conveyors and line equipment coming out at the end of their life or on a refit. Electric motors and cable are worth separating before the rest goes as steel.

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.

Where we go
Built on cars, and still built on industry.
Campbellfield was farmland, named after two Campbell families who took it up in the 1840s, until 1956, when land between the railway and the Hume Highway went to Ford for a motor assembly plant. It became the largest motor assembly complex in the country, and in the mid-1990s it employed about 4,000 people.
The last Australian-built Falcon came off the line in October 2016. The industry around it did not leave with it: Campbellfield is still mainly industrial, its estates full of manufacturers, fabricators, engineering shops, transport operators and warehouses, and part of the old Ford land is being turned into a new industrial estate.
That makes it one of the steadiest sources of scrap in the north, with production offcuts every day, plant replaced on a refit, and vehicle and trailer steel from the transport businesses. Around the estates, Broadmeadows and Coolaroo add the household side: sheds, fencing and renovation copper.

Questions
Scrap metal questions from Campbellfield.
The ones we get asked most from Campbellfield. Anything else, ring and ask.
Call 0452 220 422Do you collect from the estates along the Hume Highway?
Yes. Campbellfield and Somerton are a regular run for our trucks. Ring with what you have, roughly how much, and where a truck can get to it.
Can we have a bin at our factory?
Yes, for a trade site producing over a tonne, and the bin is free on industrial and workshop sites. It sits on your site, fills at your pace and we swap it. Tell us the metal, how quickly it builds up and where a bin could go.
Do you take old vehicle and trailer parts?
Yes: chassis rails, axles, springs, drums, mudguards and bodywork all go. Steel, cast aluminium, batteries and radiators are each graded separately, so if they are easy to keep apart on the ground, it is worth doing.
Do you buy from households in Broadmeadows and Coolaroo too?
Yes, at the yard. Pickup is for factories and industrial sites, so from a house, bring it to Braybrook: there is no minimum at the gate, and we are open 7am to 6:30pm on weekdays and 7am to 5pm on Saturday.
Can I get cash for scrap metal in Campbellfield?
You are paid on the spot when the weight is agreed, whether the load leaves your site on our truck or comes in on your trailer. Most people searching for cash for scrap are asking exactly that. The way a scrap metal dealer may pay is set by Victorian law and is the same at every yard; our page on the law explains it.
What are scrap metal prices like in Campbellfield?
The same as anywhere we buy: the price depends on the metal, its grade, how clean it is and how much there is, at the prices per kg we publish. For production scrap, sorting pays, because clean stainless, aluminium and copper each go at their own grade rather than being averaged down with the steel.
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.
