MeltingScrap.com.au is an independent information resource built to help people understand how scrap metal is melted in mills, foundries and remelters, what makes scrap furnace-ready, why size, density and contamination matter and how sellers can prepare material that melts cleanly and earns a better price.
Why We Built This
Buyers’ rules about size, sorting and contamination can seem arbitrary until you see what happens in a furnace. We built this site to explain, in plain language, how scrap is melted and why clean, well-prepared material earns more, so that the preparation you do makes sense.
Part of the ScrapTrade Network
MeltingScrap.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 what happens at the melt, ScrapTrade is where prepared scrap becomes offers from verified buyers, with 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.
What suits the furnace suits your price. ScrapTrade connects you with verified buyers, transparent weighing and escrow-protected payments.
