Recycle Your Scrap Lead

Lead Recycling Caringbah

Lead is a dense, malleable non-ferrous metal commonly found in batteries, construction materials, wheel weights and radiation shielding. At One Metal Merchants in Caringbah, we recycle all types of scrap lead — from old flashing and pipe to wheel weights and fishing sinkers. Bring your lead to 9 Cawarra Road for honest weighing and competitive pricing based on grade, weight and cleanliness.

Types of Lead We Recycle

We accept most common types of scrap lead at our Caringbah yard. Our team will identify and grade your lead accurately to offer fair, market-linked pricing.

Lead Wheel Weights

Tyre balancing weights removed during wheel alignment and tyre fitting. Clean wheel weights free of steel clips return better pricing.

Lead Flashing & Sheet

Roofing lead, chimney flashing, weatherproofing sheet and construction offcuts. Should be free of nails, screws and sealants where possible.

Lead Pipe & Plumbing

Old lead water pipes, plumbing connections, sink traps and drainage components from demolition and renovation projects.

Fishing Sinkers & Diving Weights

Lead sinkers, diving belt weights, and other small lead products. Often pure or near-pure lead with strong value.

Industrial & Miscellaneous Lead

Radiation shielding, counterweights, cable sheathing, battery plate lead, and other industrial lead scrap.

What Affects Lead Value

  • Purity

    Pure lead (such as flashing and sheet) is the most valuable. Lead alloys with other metals mixed in may attract different pricing.

  • Cleanliness & Contamination

    Lead free of steel, iron, plastic, concrete and other attachments returns fair, market-linked pricing. Remove fixings and non-lead components beforehand.

  • Weight & Volume

    Lead is one of the heaviest common metals, so even small volumes add up quickly. Larger, consistent loads are always welcome.

  • Market Conditions

    Lead prices follow commodity markets. We quote based on current daily rates for accurate, fair pricing on every load.

Sorting Tip

Separate lead from other metals before visiting. Remove steel brackets, iron fixings and plastic where practical. Keep different types of lead together where possible — pure lead and lead alloys are graded differently.
