Every construction site, factory, and industrial facility has old machinery that’s been sitting unused — rusted, broken down, or obsolete. But before you write off that equipment as junk, it’s important to understand that even rusty old machinery can hold significant scrap value. Premier Metals specialises in turning industrial scrap, including machinery, into cash for businesses across Australia.
In this guide, we’ll explain how scrap machinery prices are determined, what factors influence value, and how you can maximise your payout.

Scrap machinery includes any outdated or broken-down mechanical equipment that’s no longer usable in its current form. This includes:
Even if the equipment looks worn out or rusted, the metal components inside still have value for recycling.
| Metal Type | Price Range per kg | Common Parts in Machinery |
| Steel (Ferrous) | $0.15 – $0.30 | Frames, structural parts |
| Copper | $8.00 – $10.00 | Wiring, motors, coils |
| Aluminium | $1.30 – $2.20 | Casings, panels, some components |
| Brass | $4.50 – $6.00 | Bearings, valves, fittings |
| Stainless Steel | $1.00 – $1.50 | Some machinery parts, fasteners |
Scrap machinery is usually a combination of ferrous metals (steel, iron) and non-ferrous metals (copper wiring, aluminium parts, brass fittings). Non-ferrous metals are worth significantly more per kilogram than ferrous metals.
Prices are typically paid per kilogram or tonne. Heavier machinery will yield a higher payout.
Scrap metal prices fluctuate daily based on global commodity markets. Non-ferrous metals especially are influenced by international demand and supply.
Proximity to recycling facilities like Premier Metals affects the net payout. We offer on-site collection for large machinery loads to reduce transport costs.
