We're building a verified directory of Bunbury scrap yards. Until that's live, call 2-3 yards in your area before transport. Most Bunbury yards accept stainless steel in all common grades, though smaller yards may have minimum weight requirements. For larger loads, also consider yards in Perth.

Transport cost. Stainless Steel sold in Bunbury eventually travels to a smelter or export port — typically via Perth — and yards price the freight cost into their offer. The 0.88× regional adjustment models this transport drag based on observed yard rates and distance to processing facilities.

Bunbury yards use the same grading system as the rest of Australia: 304 Stainless, 316 Stainless. The grade depends on cleanliness, alloy purity, and contamination. See our complete <a href="/metals/stainless/">Stainless Steel grading guide</a> for what each grade means, examples, and how to identify it.

Yes for any non-ferrous scrap. Western Australia legislation requires yards to record seller ID on regulated transactions to deter metal theft. Bring a driver's licence or other photo ID. Cash payments above certain thresholds may require additional documentation.

Generally no, unless you have a very large load. Fuel costs from Bunbury to Perth quickly eat the rate difference, especially for a single residential load. The exception is high-value loads of clean copper or brass — for loads above a few hundred kilograms of clean material, the maths can work out. For everything else, consolidate locally and accept the 0.88× rate.
