Free Scrap Pick-Up Available | We Accept a Minimum of 500 Kg of Scrap Metal
If you’ve got an old, wrecked, or unregistered vehicle taking up space, scrap car removal in Melbourne has never been simpler.
At Johnny Metal Recycling (JMR), we come to you, tow it away for free, and pay you top market rates before we leave.
No paperwork headaches, no hidden deductions, and no waiting around.
A vehicle that no longer runs, holds a current registration, or is fit for the road still has significant value in its metal. Steel, aluminium, copper wiring, and other recoverable materials inside your car all attract strong commodity prices. Rather than letting it rust and drag down your property, put that value in your pocket instead.
JMR has been buying and recycling scrap vehicles for over six years. We offer professional scrap car removal in Melbourne with fair prices based on real, up-to-date market rates — never outdated flat prices that shortchange sellers.
Understanding scrap car prices in Melbourne starts with knowing what drives value. At JMR, your quote is based on several straightforward factors:
Vehicle weight and size —
Heavier vehicles yield higher metal value. Trucks and 4WDs pay more than hatchbacks.
Make, model, and age —
Certain vehicles have parts and metal compositions that are worth more on the recycling market. Our team assesses this when preparing your quote.
Condition of the vehicle —
All damaged and end-of-life vehicles accepted. The condition affects the rate but never disqualifies a vehicle entirely.
Current metal commodity prices —
Steel, aluminium, and copper prices shift daily. JMR updates our pricing regularly, so you always receive a rate that reflects what the market is paying right now.
Location —
JMR collects across all the suburbs at no extra charge, from the inner city to the outer southeast and northwest.
We pay up to $14,900 for eligible vehicles, including cars, vans, utes, 4WDs, and trucks.
