When you bring scrap metal into Raw Metal Corp, you might see it as old, unwanted or taking up space. But once it reaches our yard, it begins a new journey — one that supports recycling, reduces waste and helps valuable materials find a second life.

At Raw Metal Corp, we make scrap metal recycling simple, transparent and convenient for households, tradies, businesses and industrial operators across Queensland.

Step 1: Your Scrap Metal Is Received and Assessed

When you arrive at our yard, our team helps identify the type of material you are bringing in. Scrap metal can come in many forms, including:

• Copper
• Aluminium
• Brass
• Stainless steel
• Steel
• Lead batteries
• Whitegoods
• Machinery
• Car bodies and parts
• General mixed scrap

Different metals have different recycling values, so sorting and identifying the material correctly is an important first step.

Step 2: The Metal Is Weighed

Once the material is assessed, it is weighed using appropriate equipment. This helps determine the quantity of scrap being recycled and ensures customers receive the correct value for their materials.

Whether you are bringing in a small load from a home clean-up or a larger commercial quantity, Raw Metal Corp aims to make the process efficient and easy.

Step 3: Materials Are Sorted

After weighing, scrap metal is separated into different categories. Sorting is an essential part of the recycling process because different metals need to be processed in different ways.

For example, copper, aluminium and stainless steel are separated from general steel and mixed metals. This helps improve the quality of the recycled material and makes the next stage of processing more effective.

Step 4: Processing Begins

Once sorted, scrap metal may be cut, crushed, compacted or prepared for transport. Larger items such as whitegoods, machinery and vehicles are processed safely so that recyclable metal can be recovered.

This step helps reduce bulky materials into more manageable forms, making them easier to transport and recycle.

Step 5: Scrap Metal Is Sent for Recycling

After processing, the material is sent to recycling facilities where it can be melted down and reused in the production of new products.

Recycled metal can be used in many industries, including construction, manufacturing, automotive, infrastructure and packaging. Instead of ending up in landfill, your scrap metal becomes part of the circular economy.

Why Scrap Metal Recycling Matters

Recycling scrap metal has real environmental and economic benefits. It helps reduce the need for new raw materials, lowers landfill waste and supports a more sustainable future.

For businesses, it can also help clear valuable space, improve site safety and turn unwanted materials into cash. For households, it is a practical way to dispose of old metal items responsibly.
