Why people use this yard
Paid on the spot
Settled the moment the weight is agreed. No invoice to wait on and nobody to chase next week.
Open till 6:30pm weekdays
Two hours after most Melbourne yards shut, 5pm on Saturday, and after hours by arrangement if you ring ahead.
No minimum at the yard
A boot load is weighed the same way as a truck load. Factories and industrial sites, we collect.
Scrap metal recycling, South eastern suburbs
Scrap metal recycling for the biggest industrial belt in the state.
Metal Plus buys scrap metal from the manufacturers, fabricators, engineering shops and food plants of Melbourne’s south east, from Dandenong South and Clayton to Braeside and Carrum Downs, and from the builders and households of the growth suburbs out to Pakenham. Most of the volume is industrial, and much of it is regular.
For a site that produces metal every week, a bin on the ground, swapped as it fills, is simpler than booking trucks. One-off factory and industrial loads are collected. From a house, the metal comes to our yard in Braybrook, which takes any amount. Weights and grades are shown to you every time, and you are paid on the spot.
Where the yard is
Same service, whichever side of Melbourne you are on.
Our yard is in Braybrook, and collection from a factory or an industrial site in the south east works exactly the same as anywhere else we go. For a site producing metal every week, a bin on the ground is simpler than booking trucks at all. From a house it is a long drive, and the yard takes any amount.
What we see from here
Scrap metal we buy from the south eastern suburbs.
Different regions produce genuinely different loads. This is what turns up from the south eastern suburbs, and roughly who it comes from.
Heavy manufacturing
Production scrap in quantity out of Dandenong South: plate offcuts, structural drops, press scrap and the steel that falls off a line every shift.
Structural fabrication
Beam and RHS offcuts, plate, purlin ends and the general heavy steel that comes off a fabrication floor. Ordinarily bin work rather than pickup work.
Scrap steel recyclingEngineering and machining
Turnings, borings, offcut bar and tooling from the engineering shops through Clayton, Mulgrave and Notting Hill. Worth keeping separate.
Plant dismantling
Machinery, tanks, vessels, conveyor and line equipment at end of life or on a refit. Electric motors and cable are worth separating out.
Machinery dismantlingWorkshop and trade
Accumulated scrap out of the older estates through Braeside, Moorabbin and Cheltenham, which is usually more than the owner thinks it is.
Food and packaging
Stainless vessels, benching and conveyor, plus aluminium and steel packaging waste from the production plants across the region.
How 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.

Where we go
The biggest industrial belt in the state.
Dandenong South is not a suburb with some factories in it, it is a purpose-built industrial precinct on a scale nothing else in Victoria matches. Heavy manufacturing, structural fabrication, engineering, plastics, food production, packaging and logistics, much of it operating at a size where scrap is a line item somebody is accountable for rather than a pile out the back.
Around it, Clayton and Notting Hill carry a research, engineering and light-manufacturing mix, Braeside and Moorabbin hold a large older light-industrial estate full of workshops and trades, and Carrum Downs and Hallam pick up the newer end of the same thing.
The residential side is real too, particularly the newer growth through Narre Warren, Berwick, Cranbourne, Officer and Pakenham, but most of the metal out of this region is industrial. If you are running a site down here that puts out metal every week, that is the conversation worth having.

Questions
Scrap metal questions from the south eastern suburbs.
The ones we get asked most from this part of Melbourne.
Call 0452 220 422Our site is in Dandenong South. Why use a yard in Braybrook?
Because collection works the same here as anywhere else we go, so the distance is ours to worry about, not yours. What actually decides it is being weighed honestly and paid on the spot, which is the part worth changing yards over.
Can we set up an ongoing arrangement?
Yes, and in this region that is normally the right answer. A bin on your site, swapped when it is full, with the weights and the grades shown to you each time. Ring and tell us what comes out and how often, and we will work out what fits.
Do you collect from houses in the south east?
No. Pickup is for factories and industrial sites, which is most of what this region produces. From a house in Narre Warren, Berwick or Cranbourne, the yard in Braybrook takes any amount, Monday to Saturday, if you are heading across town.
How do we know the weights are right if we are not standing there?
You are welcome to be. That is the whole basis of how we work: the load goes on the scales where you can see it and the weight goes on a docket before money is discussed. For a bin arrangement you get the weights and the grades each time rather than a lump figure at the end of the month.
Can I get cash for scrap metal in the south east?
You are paid on the spot as soon as the weight is agreed, for a collection or a bin swap as much as at our gate. That is usually what a search for cash for scrap is asking. How a scrap metal dealer in Victoria may pay is set by state law, the same for every yard, and our page on the law covers it.
How are scrap metal prices worked out for a regular site?
The same way as for a one-off load: by the metal, its grade, how clean it is and the weight, at the prices per kg we publish. On a bin arrangement each swap is priced on its own weights and grades, so you can check every figure.
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.
