Have an old, damaged or unwanted vehicle taking up space? Bring it to Normetals and turn its recyclable metal into cash. Our Ottoway depot accepts car bodies from members of the public, trades and businesses across Adelaide.
We keep the process straightforward. You arrange delivery to our yard; our team assesses the vehicle, and payment is based on the weight of the vehicle and current scrap rates. Please note that the car must be free from oil and fluid; these must be drained before delivery, and the car must have a hole in the tank.
With more than 40 years of industry experience, Normetals provides practical service and competitive pricing for customers looking to sell scrap cars in Adelaide.
WHAT COUNTS AS A SCRAP CAR?
A scrap car is generally an old, damaged or unwanted vehicle that is no longer practical to keep, repair or sell. Even when a car is no longer roadworthy, its body and selected components may still contain recyclable metals.
Normetals takes scrap car bodies at our Ottoway recycling depot. Gas tanks and gas bottles are not accepted, so these must not be included when you bring the vehicle to our site.
Removing an unwanted vehicle can help you clear useful space while allowing recyclable materials to be recovered instead of going to waste.
WHAT AFFECTS THE VALUE OF YOUR SCRAP CAR?
The amount you receive depends on several factors, including:
- Vehicle weight
- Metal type and content
- Recyclable vehicle components
- Current scrap metal rates
Scrap prices can change over time, so the value of one vehicle may differ from another. Bringing your vehicle to the yard allows our team to review the accepted materials and provide clear pricing based on the load.
This provides an easy way to get cash for your scrap car in Adelaide without having to make assumptions about its value beforehand.
SCRAP CAR PARTS WE ALSO BUY
Some individual vehicle components can also have recyclable value. Normetals also takes:
- Car radiators
- Lead-acid car batteries
Customers with other scrap materials can also bring in accepted metals such as copper, brass, aluminium and lead. You can separate different materials before you arrive to speed up the yard process.
