Stainless steel is one of the most recycled materials on the planet, and for good reason. It’s strong, corrosion-resistant, and completely recyclable, meaning it can be reused over and over without losing its quality. At Action Metal Recyclers, we make it easy to turn your unwanted stainless steel into cash, all while doing your bit for the environment.
Whether you’re a tradie cleaning out the shed or a business with regular scrap, we’ll take it off your hands and pay top prices for it.
What Makes Stainless Steel So Valuable?
Stainless steel isn’t just tough, it also contains high-value raw materials like nickel and chromium. These elements make it highly sought after in the scrap metal industry, particularly when it comes to grades like 304 and 316.
- Stainless 304 is the most common type you’ll come across. It contains iron, chromium, and nickel and is often used in kitchen equipment, tubes, bars, rails, and appliances.
- Stainless 316 is the next step up. It’s alloyed with molybdenum, which makes it ideal for harsher environments like coastal areas or industrial sites. This grade attracts a higher price due to its increased corrosion resistance and use in surgical instruments and chemical processing gear.
Not sure what grade you’ve got? No stress. Bring in a sample and our expert team will give you an accurate quote on the spot.
We Also Take Stainless Steel Turnings
Got stainless steel offcuts or shavings from manufacturing? We accept stainless steel turnings, too. These must be clean and contain a minimum of 7% nickel and 16% chromium, free of excess oil, non-ferrous metals or other contamination.
Turnings are a great way to reduce waste and get value back from production scraps.
