ScrapMelbourne.com is an independent information resource built to help people understand the records, receipts and general tax questions that come up when you sell scrap metal, whether you are an individual clearing out a shed or a small business selling offcuts regularly.
Why We Built This
Selling scrap is usually treated as a casual, cash-in-hand activity, but sooner or later questions about receipts, records and tax appear. We built this site to give clear, general answers, and to be honest about when a question needs an accountant or the tax office rather than a website.
Part of the ScrapTrade Network
ScrapMelbourne.com is part of the ScrapTrade network — an online scrap trading marketplace connecting verified buyers and sellers of scrap metal, e-waste, batteries, and more. Where this site focuses on records and paperwork in general terms, ScrapTrade is where each trade is documented, with verified buyers, transparent weighing and escrow-protected payments.
What We’re Not
We’re not a scrap buyer and we don’t handle transactions directly through this site — this is an information resource. For the actual buying and selling, head to ScrapTrade.
Good records make selling scrap simpler. ScrapTrade documents each offer and sale, with verified buyers, transparent weighing and escrow-protected payments.
