Adelaide Scrap Metal Prices - Australia

Adelaide is the 5th biggest city in Australia in terms of population and the capital and biggest city of the state of South Australia. It has a population of around 1.4 million people. This city always has a growing demand for construction materials and scrap metal.

Adelaide (or at least the greater Adelaide area) has 75% of the population of the Wine State (which is it's cute nickname). Health care is the biggest industry of it's economy. Although manufacturing is not particularly big in this city, it doesn't mean there's no demand for scrap metals. On the contrary - the growth of the city is constant and materials are always needed. Especially the rarer ones will keep getting a high price here.

A few key things to know before you head off to the scrap yard is that are certain laws in South Australia that scrap yards need to follow. Currently these only pertain to waste handling as scrap metal theft is not a huge problem here yet. Still -  before you head out to a scrap yard it makes sense to call ahead and see what they need as it may vary from place to place. Bringing ID is always a good idea when you're planning to sell scrap metals.

Lastly we investigated the scrap yards in Adelaide. Beware that not all scrap yards are equally good in this region and if you have time to ask around or check reviews then do so.

Some good options for car wreckers in Adelaide are Southern Auto Wreckers and Car Wreckers Adelaide. If you're planning on going to a different car wrecker then FOR SURE check the reviews first. Reliable scrap yards with decent to good customer service are Salvage Enterprises and Adelaide and Rural Salvage.

There are also a few really good "cash for gold" places in Adelaide such as Southern Cross Gold Buyers and SA Gold Diggers. They have great reviews and the prices are adequate.
