Scrap Metal Pricing Calculator
Prices valid for Endless Wairau only
prices are valid from 18th - 24th March, 2026
Scrap metal prices are subject to international market fluctuations and may change without notice. Prices listed here are indicative only and updated weekly. Final prices are confirmed at the time of delivery and are based on scrap type, weight, and cleanliness. All materials are subject to grading upon arrival.
Our North Shore Price Match Promise
At Endless Wairau, we back ourselves. We reckon we already offer the best scrap prices and the best service on the Shore — but if someone genuinely beats us, we’ll match it.
Bring us a current written quote from any licensed North Shore scrap yard for the same material, and we’ll make sure you get the same deal here. Easy as.
Recycle with the crew who actually look after you — top prices, top service, no mucking around.
How It Works (The Straight-Up Bits)
- North Shore only: The quote needs to be from a licensed scrap dealer on the North Shore.
- Needs to be on paper (or email): Has to be a written, dated quote that’s still valid. No verbal “my mate said” pricing — we can’t match that.
- Same stuff, same grade: The material you’re selling needs to match what’s on the quote — same type, same grade, same condition (clean means clean).
- Endless reserves the right to decline price matches where competitor pricing is clearly in error, non-commercial, below market value, or part of a limited or conditional promotion.
- We’ll just check it: We reserve the right to verify the quote, but if everything checks out, we’ll match it on the spot.
About Our North Shore Scrap Metal Pricing
At Endless Wairau, we provide transparent, up to date market rates for all types of ferrous and non-ferrous metals across the North Shore. Whether you are clearing out a garage in Glenfield or managing a large scale construction project in Albany, our pricing reflects the latest international market trends, adjusted for the local New Zealand scrap industry.
To get the most out of our scrap metal calculator, ensure your materials are sorted and free of contaminants. Clean copper, stripped cables, and sorted aluminium extrusion typically achieve higher returns than mixed or “dirty” loads.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Our calculator gives you a realistic, up-to-date estimate based on current market conditions and our pricing structure, but final pricing is confirmed onsite when we weigh your metal on our certified scales. Scrap prices shift with global commodity markets, so think of the generator as a smart guide, not a locked-in quote.
Scrap prices are extremely volatile and impossible to give a price that is accurate for more than a week.
Because of this, the calculator shows indicative pricing only. The absolute final amount depends on the exact metal type, quality, and weight when you drop it off or have it collected.
Our calculator covers all the main metals: copper, brass, aluminium, stainless steel, lead-acid batteries, cable, steel, and a ton more. If it’s a common scrap category, you’ll find it. If it’s more unusual, just give us a call, we’ve probably seen it before.
Nope. No login, no forms, no drama. Jump in, select your metal, enter the weight, and get your estimate instantly.
Just the type of metal and an approximate weight. If you’re not sure, use your best guess, you’ll still get a helpful ballpark and we can discuss further in person.
Daily or as required. Scrap markets move constantly, and we adjust our pricing to reflect global and local demand. Checking back regularly gives you the most accurate snapshot.
The listed prices are indicative and reflect typical grades. Final payment depends on:
-
the exact metal grade
-
level of contamination
-
separation
-
whether your material matches the category you choose
We always confirm the final price using our certified scales and trained graders.
Purity = value.
For example, clean copper pays more than mixed or burnt copper. Same story with aluminium, brass, and cable. Higher-grade material processes faster and requires less sorting, which is why we pay more for it.
Prices are influenced by:
-
global commodity markets
-
supply and demand
-
export conditions
-
international manufacturing cycles
-
energy and shipping costs
Scrap is a living, breathing commodity, it fluctuates, sometimes daily.
Yes. Businesses dealing in bulk volumes, regular drop-offs, or ongoing recycling contracts may qualify for special commercial rates or on-site collection pricing. Chat with our team if you’re moving serious metal.
Some items are harder to categorise or fluctuate heavily (e.g., specialty alloys, e-waste, catalytic converters). If it’s not listed, give us a call, chances are we still buy it.
