Scrap Metal Pricing Calculator
prices are valid from 25th - 31st March, 2026 (inc. GST)
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 Onehunga Price Match Promise
At Endless Onehunga, we back ourselves. We reckon we already offer the best scrap prices and the best service in Onehunga & Penrose — but if someone genuinely beats us, we’ll match it.
Bring us a current written quote from any licensed Onehunga / Penrose 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)
- Onehunga / Penrose only: The quote needs to be from a licensed scrap dealer in Onehunga or Penrose.
- 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 Auckland Scrap Metal Pricing
At Endless Onehunga, we offer clear, current pricing across a full range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals throughout Auckland. Whether you are tidying up a property in Mount Roskill or coordinating a commercial cleanout closer to Penrose, our rates are aligned with global market movements and refined to suit local demand.
To maximise your return when using our pricing tools, it pays to prepare your materials properly.

For larger quantities or ongoing trade supply, our Onehunga team can provide customised pricing to match your volume and requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Scrap metal prices in Onehunga vary depending on the type, grade, and cleanliness of the material. Higher-value metals like copper and brass typically return more than steel or mixed scrap. At Endless Onehunga, our pricing lists are updated weekly to reflect current market conditions, and our calculator helps estimate your load value before you visit.
Copper is one of the most valuable scrap metals due to its conductivity and demand. The price per kg in Auckland depends on the grade, with clean, stripped copper achieving the highest rates. The foreign markets dictate Endless’ pricing; as such, will move in line with the rest of the world. For the most accurate pricing, check our Onehunga pricing list or use the calculator for a real-time estimate.
Yes, old cables can be valuable, especially if they contain copper. Stripped cables typically achieve higher returns than insulated ones. At our Onehunga yard, separating and preparing your cables properly can significantly increase your payout.
Car batteries do have scrap value due to the lead content, but they must be handled carefully due to hazardous materials. At Endless Onehunga, acceptance depends on condition and compliance, so it is best to check with our team before bringing them in.
Scrap value for fridges depends on the type and whether hazardous components have been removed. Some units, such as ammonia fridges, cannot be accepted. For standard appliances, value is typically based on weight and metal content.
Aluminium pricing varies depending on the type, such as extrusion, sheet, or cast aluminium. Clean, sorted aluminium generally receives higher rates. Our Onehunga pricing list reflects current aluminium values across different grades. The foreign markets, from which we derive our pricing, will be the main driver of what determines our scrap metal rates.
Yes, stainless steel has scrap value due to its alloy content, including nickel. The price depends on the grade and composition. Clean stainless steel will typically achieve better returns than mixed or contaminated material.
To maximise your return in Onehunga, sort your materials, remove contaminants, and separate higher-value metals like copper and brass. Clean loads consistently achieve better prices. Using our pricing calculator before visiting can also help you understand the value of your scrap.
