Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q. Is it legal to sell scrap lead in WA?

A. Yes — but it must be done through licensed recyclers like Premier Metals. Due to its toxicity, lead must be handled and transported according to WA’s environmental protection guidelines.

Q. How do I know how much my lead is worth?

A. Prices vary daily based on international lead markets. Contact us for a free quote. Pure or soft lead often fetches more than mixed items like batteries or pipe scraps.

Q. Do you buy old car batteries?

A. Absolutely! Lead-acid batteries are among the most common lead products we collect. They’re heavy and contain valuable lead content — making them a great item to sell for cash.

Q. Can I bring scrap lead to you?

A. Yes — while we offer free collection, you can also drop off your lead scrap at our Perth facility by appointment. Please call ahead so we can prepare for proper unloading and safe handling.
