Melbo Scrap Metal buys aluminium scrap in Melbourne, including extrusion, sheet, cast aluminium, alloy wheels, turnings and other aluminium offcuts.

Whether you’ve got a ute load of old window frames or a factory clean-out with piles of aluminium offcuts, Melbo Scrap Metal buys a wide range of aluminium scrap from Melbourne sellers. We work with businesses, tradies, workshops and other scrap generators, with aluminium among the metals we regularly buy.
Every load goes through our weigh & pay process. The aluminium is assessed according to its type and condition, then weighed so the payment reflects the material you’ve brought in. Keeping different grades separate before you arrive can make the process much simpler, particularly when a load contains extrusion, cast aluminium, sheet and turnings.
Melbo Scrap Metal has been operating in the scrap metal industry for more than ten years, with its yard at 220 Princes Highway, Dandenong VIC 3175. You can bring aluminium directly to the yard or contact the team about collection if you’re dealing with a qualifying commercial or industrial quantity.

Aluminium scrap can come from a fabrication workshop, a building site, an automotive business or a demolition job. It doesn’t all look the same, and the grade can change depending on the alloy, cleanliness and other material attached to it.
Here’s some of the aluminium we buy. If yours looks different, send through the details or a photo and we’ll let you know whether we can take it.
Aluminium extrusion is common in window frames, door frames, shopfronts, curtain wall sections and other fabricated profiles.
A lot of it comes from renovations, demolitions, commercial fit-outs and building work. Clean extrusion is easier to grade than lengths with steel fixings, rubber, glass or other materials still attached.
If you’re clearing frames from a job, separate the aluminium from other demolition materials where practical. Keeping similar material together also makes the weigh-in easier.
We buy aluminium sheet and fabrication offcuts, including clean or mixed alloy sheet and lithographic sheet.
These materials can come from fabrication workshops, signage businesses, roofing work and manufacturing. Flat, clean sheets are generally easier to assess than material that has been heavily contaminated, painted or combined with other metals.
If you’re left with a pile of aluminium offcuts after a fabrication job, don’t automatically put them in the general scrap bin. Separate them first and ask what they’re worth.
Cast aluminium is found in a range of components, particularly engine parts, gearbox housings, pump housings and other machinery or automotive components.
Engineering businesses and automotive workshops can generate cast aluminium as part of repairs, maintenance or dismantling work. Some grease or oil residue may be present, but keeping the material as clean as reasonably possible helps with sorting and assessment.
If you’re not sure whether a component is cast aluminium or another alloy, bring it in or send a photo before making assumptions about the grade.
Alloy wheels and aluminium-containing rims are another common source of scrap.
These can come from car wreckers, vehicle removal businesses, automotive workshops and tyre or mechanical operations. If you’re dismantling vehicles regularly, separating aluminium wheels from heavier ferrous scrap makes the material much easier to identify.
Where wheels still contain tyres or other attachments, let the team know what you’re bringing in so the material can be assessed appropriately.
Engineering and manufacturing workshops can produce a steady stream of aluminium turnings, machining swarf and shavings.
These materials are different from clean, solid aluminium because the machining process can leave them mixed with cutting fluids, oil or other contaminants. Keep turnings as dry and clean as possible and separate them from other aluminium where you can.
We also buy aluminium and aluminium-copper radiators, signage boxes and aluminium cans, along with other aluminium scrap. The current Melbo Scrap Metal aluminium page specifically lists turnings and general swarf, alloy sheet, lithographic sheets, signage boxes, aluminium-copper radiators, castings, automotive wheels and clean aluminium cuttings among the materials it buys.

The aluminium scrap price in Melbourne isn’t a fixed number. Aluminium is traded internationally, and the rate available for scrap can move with the wider metals market. More importantly, two loads that both contain aluminium can have very different values depending on their grade and condition.
The main things that affect the price include:
Melbo Scrap Metal doesn’t publish a permanent aluminium price per kilogram because a fixed online figure can quickly become outdated. The better approach is to describe the material you have, give an approximate weight and ask for the current rate. The company’s current aluminium page also states that scrap prices are based on the purity and condition of the material.

Melbo Scrap Metal provides aluminium scrap pickup for qualifying commercial and industrial loads across Melbourne and surrounding areas. Because collection requirements can vary according to the size and type of load, it’s best to call with the details rather than assume a particular quantity will automatically qualify. The current site also notes that minimum quantities can apply to pickup jobs.
The yard is at 220 Princes Highway, Dandenong VIC 3175, with a service area of roughly 70km. Areas currently listed by Melbo include Springvale, Noble Park, Cranbourne, Pakenham, Berwick, Narre Warren, Frankston, Clayton, Oakleigh, Melbourne CBD, Werribee, Sunbury, Craigieburn and Ringwood, along with surrounding suburbs.
If your suburb isn’t on the list, don’t assume you’re outside the service area. Give the team a call and provide your location, the type of aluminium and an approximate quantity.
Drop your aluminium at the Dandenong yard, or contact the team to find out whether your commercial or industrial load qualifies for collection.
Your material is assessed according to its type and condition and weighed through the weigh-and-pay process.
Once the material has been assessed and weighed, payment is made according to the applicable rate. There’s no need to wait several days for the transaction to be processed.
Aluminium can accumulate surprisingly quickly. A fit-out produces frames and offcuts. A machining workshop produces turnings. A wrecking yard can end up with alloy wheels and cast components. Keeping that material separated gives businesses a practical way to recover value from scrap rather than treating it as general waste.
Melbo Scrap Metal works with a range of commercial and industrial scrap generators across Melbourne, including:
Aluminium extrusion, frames, cladding and other offcuts can come out of renovation, construction and demolition work. Keeping aluminium separate from general site debris makes recovery easier.
Machining operations can generate aluminium turnings, swarf, shavings and fabrication offcuts. Where volumes are consistent, an ongoing collection arrangement may make sense.
Trade work can leave aluminium fittings, conduit, cable components and other metal offcuts behind. Separating recoverable metals as you go keeps the worksite clearer.
Vehicle dismantling can produce alloy wheels, cast aluminium components and other aluminium-bearing parts that can be separated from heavier ferrous scrap.
Site clearances can uncover mixed scrap, old components and aluminium materials that need to be removed as part of the wider clean-up.
Whether you're clearing a single premises or generating scrap regularly, aluminium can be separated and sold rather than sent away as general waste.
Melbo’s current business pages specifically list builders, electricians, plumbers, engineering companies, excavation companies, commercial businesses and car removal/wrecking businesses among the sellers it works with.
If your business generates aluminium every week or month, ask about an ongoing collection arrangement rather than organising a new solution every time the scrap builds up.
A little sorting before you arrive can make a real difference to how quickly your load can be assessed.
You don’t need specialist equipment to prepare a load. The aim is simply to keep materials that are clearly different from one another separate.
screws, rubber seals, glass and steel fixings can affect the grade of otherwise useful aluminium.
keep extrusion, cast aluminium, sheet, wheels and turnings apart instead of combining everything into one pile.
particularly with turnings and swarf, avoid unnecessary oil, coolant, dirt and other contamination.
