Scrap metal pickup in Newton, and what comes out of it

Newton is eleven minutes from the yard, in the City of Campbelltown, and it is a suburb of owner-occupiers who tend to do their own work.

Newton sits in the City of Campbelltown alongside Paradise, Athelstone, Hectorville, Rostrevor and Tranmere. At the 2021 Census it had a population of just over 5,100 with a median age of 41, and around seven in ten homes are owner-occupied. Gorge Road runs out past Newton and skirts Thorndon Park on its way to the hills.

A suburb where most people own their own home is a suburb where the shed actually gets used, and Newton reflects that. We get the DIY end of the market here: copper offcuts, old taps and fittings, brass, a cylinder from a hot water change, lengths of pipe left over from a job. Small loads of clean copper are genuinely worth bringing to us rather than throwing in a bin, because clean copper is worth several dollars a kilo more than copper mixed into a pile of steel.

Small clean loads are worth bringing to us from Newton, because clean copper and brass carry a real premium per kilo over the same metal in a mixed pile. A box of fittings and offcuts is genuinely worth the trip. If it is mostly light steel, hold it until you have a decent pile or until we are already in the street. Newton is also close enough to Campbelltown and Dernancourt that we can often fold a small pickup into a job already booked in one of those, which is worth asking about.

We come across through Dernancourt and are in Newton in about ten minutes, so it pairs easily with a Campbelltown or Dernancourt job.

Frequently asked questions - Newton

Is a small load worth your trip to Newton?

If it is clean copper or brass, yes. A box of offcuts and fittings is worth real money per kilo. If it is a small amount of mixed steel, it is usually better to hold it until you have more or until we are already in the street.

Does sorting it myself get me more?

Noticeably more on copper. Clean copper separated from the steel is worth several dollars a kilo above the same copper in a mixed load, and it takes ten minutes on the driveway.

Is it worth sorting my Newton load before you arrive?

On copper, yes. Clean copper separated from the steel is worth several dollars a kilo more than the same copper sitting in a mixed pile, and it takes about ten minutes on the driveway. Newton is mostly owner-occupiers doing their own work, so most loads here are already half sorted.

How do I tell clean copper from the rest?

Clean or bare copper is pipe and wire with nothing else attached, no fittings, no insulation, no solder blobs. Anything with brass fittings still on it is priced lower, so pulling the fittings off and putting them in their own pile is the single highest-value ten minutes you can spend before we arrive in Newton.

Do you weigh at my place or back at the yard?

At your place, in front of you. That is the whole point and it is the question we get asked most in Newton, where people have usually sorted the load themselves and want to see it confirmed. You get the weight, the rate and the total before we drive off.
