Licensed scrap metal disposal service in Singapore for factories, construction sites, shipyards, demolition jobs, and commercial tenants. We disposal-clear ferrous and non-ferrous scrap under full NEA compliance — and because the material has value, you get paid for most loads instead of paying a removal fee.

Why Most Scrap Metal Disposal in Singapore Should Cost Nothing

A standard waste-disposal vendor charges per trip. A licensed scrap metal buyer takes the same load and pays you for it — because copper, brass, aluminium, stainless, cast iron, and even mixed HMS all have commodity value tracked daily on the London Metal Exchange. If you have been paying for scrap disposal, you have been paying to give away an asset. See our recycling service for the full route your material takes.

How Scrap Disposal Works With Molten Steel

1. Call or WhatsApp +65 9106 7577 with the site address and a rough description of what needs to go. Photos help — we quote faster from a photo.
2. Site visit where needed for large or mixed loads. We walk the job, estimate tonnage by metal type, and give you an indicative settlement figure.
3. Scheduled removal with our own trucks, cranes, and grabs. Crews self-sufficient — we bring rigging, cutting torches, and chains.
4. Weigh on certified scales at our 170 Gul Circle yard. You get the weight ticket.
5. Same-day payment by bank transfer, cheque, or cash for smaller loads.

Factory Scrap Metal Disposal in Singapore

Factories in the Jurong, Tuas, Pioneer, Senoko, and Sungei Kadut industrial belts are our primary disposal clients. Regular service includes weekly or monthly collections of shop-floor scrap — drill swarf, offcut remnants, rejected parts, packaging strap — as well as ad-hoc clearance of decommissioned machinery, line re-tooling scrap, and end-of-life equipment. Because we deal direct without middlemen, you skip the layers of haulage cost that waste vendors add.

For regular producers, we supply free metal skips in common sizes and rotate them on a schedule you choose. Sorted loads pay more; we can train your floor team on separation in a 30-minute walkthrough.

Scrap Metal Disposal Service for Commercial Clients

• Commercial kitchens — stainless steel worktops, prep benches, walk-in fridges, extract hoods. See the commercial kitchen scrap page.
• Electrical contractors — copper pulls, cable offcuts, old switchgear, distribution boards. See the electrical scrap page.
• HVAC contractors — old AC systems, chiller plant, condenser coils, copper refrigerant pipe. See the HVAC scrap page.
• Property managers — periodic clearance of utility rooms, plant rooms, back-of-house storage.

Disposal vs Waste Collection — the Legal Distinction

General waste disposal in Singapore is regulated under the Environmental Public Health Act. Scrap metal is not general waste — it is a recyclable commodity, and its handling is separately licensed by NEA. Sending scrap to a general waste stream is wasteful and legally questionable for industrial tenants with environmental reporting obligations. A licensed scrap dealer route satisfies both sustainability KPIs and cost control — see our NEA regulations explainer for the full regulatory picture.

What We Can’t Accept for Disposal

• General waste (paper, plastics, food waste) — these go to a licensed waste vendor, not a scrap dealer.
• Hazardous waste — asbestos-containing, radioactive, unlabelled chemical drums, compressed gas cylinders with contents. Must be routed through a licensed toxic industrial waste collector first.
• Unlabelled paint, oil, solvent drums — we accept empty, drained, and cut-open metal drums.
• PCB-containing transformers — these require specialist disposal before the metal shell is scrapped.

If you have mixed waste with metal content, we can help scope the metal portion for our disposal route and advise on vendors for the non-metal streams.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I pay for scrap metal disposal in Singapore?

Usually no — most commercial scrap loads have positive value. You get paid for the scrap content. We only charge where the material is heavily contaminated, uneconomic to process, or requires specialist handling (e.g. small load, tight access requiring crane hire). We tell you up front — no surprises.

How quickly can you arrange scrap disposal pickup?

Same-day for west Singapore (Jurong, Tuas, Pioneer, Sungei Kadut, Woodlands) on most loads. 24–48 hours for Changi, Tampines, the CBD, and Woodlands. For urgent disposal tied to a lease handover or inspection deadline, call us — we will work to the schedule.

Do you offer contracted scrap disposal service for factories?

Yes. Regular producers can set up a scheduled pickup — weekly, fortnightly, or monthly — with free skips on site. We invoice against the weight ticket so your accounts department gets a clean paper trail.

Is Molten Steel licensed for scrap metal disposal in Singapore?

Yes — we are a fully licensed scrap metal dealer with NEA compliance. Our trucks, yard, and operations are all permitted. See our licensing page for the exact licences on file.

Can you handle factory closure clearance end-to-end?

Yes. We routinely handle full factory clearances — shop floor machinery, office fit-out, MEP strip-out, everything. For the structural demolition component we deploy our own demolition crews. One contact, one programme, one cheque.

Do you accept mixed loads, or does it need to be sorted?

We accept mixed loads — most factory scrap arrives mixed. Sorted loads do pay more because we can grade them precisely; for regular clients we will show your floor team how to separate in 30 minutes.
