If you’ve just finished spring cleaning, or you’re moving home, check whether some unwanted items could be scrapped for cash. Here are tips on where you should look and what you should choose.
Garden Shed
One of the best places to look for scrap metal is in your garden shed or around your backyard.
If you see old metal garden furniture gathering dust and rust, why not add it to your pile and trade it for cash at one of your local scrap yards. If you are looking for scrap metal removal in Bayswater from Sim Vic, they offer great rates on both scrap metal collections and drop-offs.

Garage
An untidy garage that is filled with mountains of household items is a great place to look for scrap metal. If you take some time to sift through all the stuff, you could accumulate a large consignment of valuable scrap metal. Here are some items to look for when searching your garage for potential scrap metal objects.
- Unused tools
- Nails
- Discarded bikes
- Brass Faucets
- Copper pipes
- Copper yokes in old TV sets
After you’ve searched the garage and combed through the garden shed, you can also check the house for additional items. You many find some stuff in the attic or basement that you could trade with your local scrap yard dealer.
