Scrap metal recycling, Melton
Scrap metal recycling for Melton’s building sites, sheds and new estates.
Metal Plus buys scrap metal from the builders, plumbers, electricians and roofers working Melton’s new estates, from the households of Melton and Melton South, and from the businesses in its industrial areas. Roofing and fencing offcuts, steel framing, copper pipe, cable, old sheds and household scrap are what come in from here.
Our yard at 159 Ashley St, Braybrook is in along the Western Freeway, so a trailer load is easy to drop off, with no appointment and no minimum. A builder filling a bin on site can have one swapped as it fills, and businesses in Melton’s industrial areas can have a one-off load collected. Graded in front of you, paid on the spot.
Where the yard is
In along the Western Freeway.
Melton is further out than the suburbs around the yard, but it is one road most of the way: the Western Freeway brings you in towards Braybrook. A trailer load is an easy trip with no appointment, and it fits around a run into town. For a building site a bin is simpler, and for an industrial site the truck comes out to you.
What we see from here
Scrap metal we buy from Melton.
This is what turns up from Melton, and roughly who it comes from.
New-house construction
Roofing and fencing offcuts, light steel framing, copper pipe and cable off the estates going up across Cobblebank, Aintree and Rockbank. The copper and cable are worth keeping out of the skip.
Scrap cable and wireSheds and older blocks
Old sheds, fencing, steel tanks, trailers and machinery from the bigger blocks in older Melton and Melton South. Usually more than the owner expects once it is in one heap.
Scrap steel and roofing ironTrades and industry
Offcuts and scrap from the plumbers, electricians, fabricators and workshops in Melton’s industrial areas. Copper and brass off a plumber’s ute are worth bringing in on their own.
What scrap copper is worthHow it works
Four steps, and you are paid before you leave.
- 01
Ring us or send a photo
Tell us roughly what you have got. A photo from your phone is usually enough for us to say whether it is worth bringing in and what to expect.
- 02
Bring it to the yard
Drive it into the Braybrook yard Monday to Saturday, or at another time by arrangement. Any amount, and no appointment. Factories and industrial sites can book a pickup instead.
- 03
Weighed in front of you
Your load goes on the scales while you watch. You see the reading and you get the docket. Nothing is weighed out the back where you cannot see it.
- 04
Paid on the spot
Sorted the moment the weight is agreed. You are not waiting on an invoice and you are not chasing anybody next week.
Three ways to sell
However much you have got, there is a way to move it.
Drop off at the yard
Pull in, get weighed, get paid. No appointment and no minimum. We are open until 6:30pm on weekdays and 5pm on Saturday, and after hours by arrangement.
- No minimum quantity
- Weighed while you watch
- Paid before you leave
Industrial pickup
For factories and industrial sites across Greater Melbourne. Tell us what the site produces and roughly how much, and we will bring the right truck.
- Factories and industrial sites
- Right truck for the load
- Paid on collection
Bins for bigger jobs
Scrap bins dropped on site for jobs over a tonne. Factories, demolition, construction and site clearance. We swap them out as they fill.
- For loads over 1 tonne
- Swapped as they fill
- Ongoing contracts welcome
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
Australia’s fastest-growing council.
Melton started in the 1850s as a stop on the road to the Ballarat goldfields, and stayed a small farming town for a century: in the 1960s the town and its district had about 300 people. Then Melbourne reached it, and the population quadrupled between 1966 and 1971.
It has not slowed down since. In 2024–25 the City of Melton grew faster than any other council in Australia, adding 12,673 people, and whole new suburbs, Cobblebank, Strathtulloh and Aintree among them, are going up where there were paddocks.
Every one of those houses produces offcuts while it is being built: roofing, fencing, framing, pipe and cable. Older Melton and Melton South supply the established side, with sheds, fencing and renovations, and the industrial land around Cobblebank keeps growing alongside the estates.

Questions
Scrap metal questions from Melton.
The ones we get asked most from Melton. Anything else, ring and ask.
Call 0452 220 422Is it worth driving in from Melton?
For a trailer load, usually yes. It is one road most of the way, there is no appointment and no minimum at the gate, and we are open 7am to 6:30pm on weekdays and 7am to 5pm on Saturday.
We are building in Cobblebank. Can you take the offcuts?
Yes. Roofing and fencing offcuts, steel framing, pipe and cable are normal construction loads. For a builder running several sites, a bin on each, free on trade sites and swapped as it fills, is simpler than trailer runs.
We are clearing a big block in Melton South. What can go?
Most of it, if it is metal: old sheds once they are down, steel tanks, fencing, trailers, car bodies and machinery. Batteries, motors and cable are graded separately, so put them to one side. Ring with a rough list and we will tell you what to expect before you load the trailer.
Do you collect from Rockbank and Aintree?
From factories and industrial sites, yes, the same as everywhere else we go. From a house or a building site, the yard in Braybrook takes any amount, and a builder can have a bin.
Can I get cash for scrap metal in Melton?
You are paid on the spot once the weight is agreed, at our gate or on your site. That is what most people searching for cash for scrap are asking about. How a scrap metal dealer may pay in Victoria is set by state law, the same for every yard, and our page on the law explains what it says.
What are scrap metal prices like in Melton?
No different from anywhere else: a load from Melton is priced on the metal, its grade, how clean it is and the weight, at the prices per kg we publish. On building offcuts the money is in the copper and cable, so keep them out of the steel and out of the skip. Send a photo 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.
