Scrapt.com.au is an independent information resource built to help people understand the most common myths people believe about selling scrap metal, and what is actually true, from the magnet test and rust to cash payments and waiting for a better price.
Why We Built This
Everyone who has sold scrap has heard a rule of thumb that turned out to be wrong, whether it was about rust, magnets or which yard pays best. We built this site to check the common ones honestly, saying so when the answer is it depends rather than pretending there is one simple truth.
Part of the ScrapTrade Network
Scrapt.com.au is part of the ScrapTrade network — an online scrap trading marketplace connecting verified buyers and sellers of scrap metal, e-waste, batteries, and more. Where this site focuses on separating myth from fact, ScrapTrade is where you can test the facts against real prices and offers, with verified buyers, transparent weighing and escrow-protected payments.
What We’re Not
We’re not a scrap buyer and we don’t handle transactions directly through this site — this is an information resource. For the actual buying and selling, head to ScrapTrade.
Facts beat folklore when you sell. ScrapTrade shows current prices and connects you with verified buyers, transparent weighing and escrow-protected payments.
