AI image by LocalRankSelling scrap metal in Singapore usually means choosing between a yard you drive to and a dealer who sends a lorry. This list covers seven scrap metal buyers and recyclers, each described from what its own website says it collects, how it handles collection or drop-off, and where it is based. We do not quote rates, because dealers set them against the market and change them often. Read the entries, shortlist two or three that handle the metals you actually have, then ask each for a written quote. The how-to-choose notes below cover weighing, paperwork and the questions worth asking before anything is loaded.
1. Molten Steel
Molten Steel is a scrap metal dealer that its website places in the Gul industrial area of the west. The site lists bright copper and cable, aluminium, brass, 304 stainless steel, cast iron, heavy melting steel and lead among the metals it takes, and describes collection and pickup across Singapore, demolition scrap recovery and bulk trading. It also mentions e-waste recycling and scrap car and catalytic converter buying as separate services. The company calls itself a licensed scrap metal dealer and says documentation is available to clients on request, which is its own statement and worth asking to see. A contact page and a WhatsApp link are published, so a seller with a mixed pile can send details first and arrange a collection afterwards.

2. Ogoo Recycle
Ogoo Recycle operates from its own processing yard in Tuas, according to its website. The site lists copper, cables and wires, radiators, transformers, compressors, motors, air-conditioners, machinery and electronics, plus mixed scrap such as aluminium, stainless steel, lead and batteries. It describes an on-site quotation, collection by its own lorries and crews, weighing that the seller can witness, payment on collection and scrap certificates, along with scheduled pickups and dismantling work. Ogoo states that it is a fully licensed and insured dealer, which is its own wording. The site also publishes a WhatsApp number and a contact page, and says the business exports processed material, so it may suit sellers with larger or more varied loads.
3. Soon Kim Recycling
Soon Kim presents two sites on one website: a hardware trading arm in the Defu industrial area and a recycling company in Tuas. Its pages list ferrous scrap such as heavy melting steel, plate and structural steel, rebar and used containers, alongside copper, brass, bronze, aluminium, stainless steel, zinc, lead, circuit boards, used cables and lead-acid batteries. Services described include scrap buying, on-site collection and transport, material processing and advice on assessing scrap. The company says it is licensed with proper facilities to collect and process scrap metal. Its contact page gives separate opening days for each site, so check which yard is closer and when it welcomes visitors before you travel there.

4. Soon Lee Recycle
Soon Lee Recycle describes itself as a one-stop station in Jurong for collecting, clearing and recycling metal scrap and e-waste. Its site lists wrought and cast iron, carbon steel, stainless steel, brass, copper and aluminium, plus air-conditioners, motors, engines, cables, forklifts, pumps and old machinery. It says it sends lorries ranging from ten to twenty-four feet, supplies bins in several sizes, and can bring power tools, cranes and forklifts for heavier jobs. Disposal or destruction certificates and free quotations are also mentioned. The pages do not state any licence, so ask what approvals it holds. An email address and contact page are provided for enquiries about clearances, and the site also describes trained drivers and scheduled timely collection.
5. Tat Hong Metals
Tat Hong Metals lists several yards and collection points across the west, including Toh Guan, Tuas South and Bukit Batok, on its website. The materials it names include iron, steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper cable and wire, tin and zinc, as well as air-conditioners, motors, radiators, batteries, compressors and circuit boards. It describes a one-stop service covering collection, transport by truck and lorry, bins of various sizes at collection centres, scheduled pickups and demolition work, with disposal certificates available on request. The site also names a related recycling company, so confirm which entity you are dealing with. A WhatsApp number and contact page are published for enquiries from anyone clearing scrap or e-waste.

6. Gee Hoe Seng
Gee Hoe Seng's metal recycling page lists non-ferrous scrap including copper wire and pipe, brass, aluminium extrusion and beverage cans, and 304 and 316 stainless steel, plus iron, electrical cables and machinery. It says precious metals are handled separately. Sellers can use self drop-off, ad-hoc collection or regular scheduled collection, according to the page. The company also lists food waste, e-waste, secure data destruction and general waste services. It states that it holds a general waste collector licence from the National Environment Agency and is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified, which are its own claims to verify. A WhatsApp link and contact page are provided, and the business is based in the Ubi area.
7. New Tsingyi
New Tsingyi, based in the Pioneer area, says it buys and sells scrap across ferrous and non-ferrous categories. Its services page lists several grades of aluminium, copper, brass and stainless steel including 316, plus iron, lead, tin, zinc dross, nickel cathode, special alloys, cables and wires, and plastic scrap. Beyond buying, it describes dismantling of equipment and industrial structures, demolition of small facilities and large industrial buildings, and secure destruction of expired inventory or confidential assets. The site refers in general terms to regulatory compliance and government approvals but gives no licence details, so ask directly. A contact page and email are published for business and industrial enquiries, and the site presents it as an end-to-end provider.

How to choose
- Start with the metals you actually have. Each dealer's site names the scrap it takes, from copper cable and brass to stainless steel, cast iron and machinery. Sort your pile into rough categories, then pick buyers whose lists match, and mention anything unusual such as batteries, motors or circuit boards when you ask for a quote.
- Ask how weighing and payment work before anything is loaded. Some dealers describe witnessed weighing, scrap certificates or payment on collection; others say little. Request the process in writing, including how metals are graded and when payment is made, so you can compare like with like rather than headline claims.
- Decide between drop-off and collection. Heavy loads, machinery or a factory clearance usually need a lorry, while a few bags of cable may be easier to bring to a yard. Check lorry sizes, bin supply, access constraints, opening days and the yard's location in the west or Ubi before booking.
- Ask what approvals the dealer holds for the work and request the paperwork. Several sites make their own licence or certification statements, while others make none. Treat those as claims to verify with the issuing body, and ask for a disposal or destruction certificate if you need a record for your own business.
- Match the service to the job. Household clear-outs with furniture and mixed rubbish are better handled by the rubbish removal services on LocalRank, while dealers here suit metal-heavy loads. For old electronics, see the e-waste recycling guide, and get two or three quotes for large or recurring clearances.
