There are many types of scrap metal that you can sell for top prices per kg in South Africa. Scrap Copper, Aluminium, Lead, Steel, Iron, Brass and Tin are the most popular types of scrap metal that are sold every day in South Africa.

Scrap yards will reduce the prices that they offer if you leave non metal items attached to your scrap metal items. If you do not remove them, the scrap yard that you visit will more than likely estimate the weight of the non metal items and deduct it from the total weight of your items. They actually deliberately over estimate the weight of non metal items so they don't lose money on the deal themselves. So the tale is, remove all non metal items to get a better price per kg for your scrap metal.
