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.
We accept all common stainless steel grades at our Caringbah yard. Our experienced team will identify and grade your material fairly.
The most common grade — kitchen sinks, food-grade equipment, architectural trim, and benchtops. Composition is 18/8 (18% chromium, 8% nickel).
Marine-grade stainless with added molybdenum for superior corrosion resistance. Common in coastal, chemical and medical applications.
Offcuts, surplus, cladding, and fabrication waste from workshops and manufacturing.
Exhaust systems, handrails, plumbing components, and structural tubing.
Commercial kitchen equipment, catering fixtures, washing machine drums, and stainless appliances.
304 and 316 grades with higher nickel content are more valuable. Common grades like 18/8 and 18/10 return strong prices.
Material free of steel attachments, plastic, rubber and other contaminants returns the best rate.
304 is generally non-magnetic (slightly magnetic when cold-worked); 316 is non-magnetic. Magnetic stainless can be lower grade.
Stainless steel value is linked to nickel commodity prices. We track daily markets for fair pricing.
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.
