How to Sell Scrap Metal in Singapore: A Step-by-Step Guide
If you have leftover metal from a renovation, a closed-down office, a construction site or an old appliance at home, it doesn't have to end up as landfill. Omani Hardware Trading is an NEA Approved Contractor that collects, trades and recycles scrap metal across Singapore, and this guide walks through what counts as scrap, how the process works, and how to get a fair price for it.
What Counts as Scrap Metal?
Most metal around a home, office or worksite has some value once it's separated from general waste. We buy:
- Ferrous metals — steel, iron and stainless steel
- Non-ferrous metals — copper, aluminium, brass, zinc and tin
- Cables, e-waste and appliances — electrical wiring, electronic equipment, circuit boards, batteries and air-conditioners
- Industrial equipment and construction scrap — old factory machinery, structural steel, and renovation debris
- Paper and cardboard boxes
Not sure if what you have qualifies? See the full list on our What We Buy page, or just contact us and describe it — we'll advise.
Step by Step: Selling Your Scrap Metal
1. Contact us
Call, WhatsApp or email with the material type, a rough quantity and your location.
2. We arrange collection
We come to you islandwide. For bigger jobs we can provide open-top containers or bins.
3. On-site weighing
Your scrap is weighed on site and priced at market-based rates, with full transparency.
4. Instant payment

Tips to Get a Better Price
Separate your metals where you can — sorted scrap (e.g. copper kept apart from steel) is easier to value fairly.
When you contact us, mention the material type and a rough quantity so we can prepare the right vehicle and give you an accurate idea of value upfront.
If your scrap contains hazardous components — oils, refrigerants or asbestos, for example — tell us first. We'll assess it and advise the safest route; additional treatment may apply.
What If It Isn't Metal?
Renovation debris, old furniture, appliances and other bulky items aren't scrap metal, but we still handle them. Our Disposal Services cover homes, condominiums, schools, private clubs, community centres, warehouses and factories across the island.
