Stainless Steel Recycling in Caringbah

Stainless steel is a durable, corrosion-resistant alloy containing chromium that holds strong recycling value. At One Metal Merchants in Caringbah, we buy stainless steel scrap including sinks, appliances, sheeting, pipe, and industrial offcuts. Bring your stainless steel to 9 Cawarra Road for honest weighing and competitive pricing.

Types of Stainless Steel We Buy

We accept all common stainless steel grades at our Caringbah yard. Our experienced team will identify and grade your material fairly.

304 Stainless Steel

The most common grade — kitchen sinks, food-grade equipment, architectural trim, and benchtops. Composition is 18/8 (18% chromium, 8% nickel).

316 Stainless Steel

Marine-grade stainless with added molybdenum for superior corrosion resistance. Common in coastal, chemical and medical applications.

Stainless Steel Sheet & Plate

Offcuts, surplus, cladding, and fabrication waste from workshops and manufacturing.

Stainless Steel Pipe & Tube

Exhaust systems, handrails, plumbing components, and structural tubing.

Appliances & Commercial Equipment

Commercial kitchen equipment, catering fixtures, washing machine drums, and stainless appliances.

What Affects Stainless Steel Value

  • Grade & Composition

    304 and 316 grades with higher nickel content are more valuable. Common grades like 18/8 and 18/10 return strong prices.

  • Contamination

    Material free of steel attachments, plastic, rubber and other contaminants returns the best rate.

  • Magnetic vs Non-Magnetic

    304 is generally non-magnetic (slightly magnetic when cold-worked); 316 is non-magnetic. Magnetic stainless can be lower grade.

  • Nickel Market

    Stainless steel value is linked to nickel commodity prices. We track daily markets for fair pricing.

Sorting Tip

Keep stainless steel separate from regular steel. A simple magnet test helps — most stainless steel (304, 316) is non-magnetic or only slightly magnetic, while regular steel is strongly magnetic. Remove any attached non-stainless components.
