Scrap Yards in Katherine
Our directory of Katherine scrap yards is being built.
Our verified yard directory for Katherine is still being built — but that doesn't mean there's nothing useful to know about scrapping metal here.
Selling scrap metal in Katherine
Katherine sits in Northern Territory with a regional adjustment of 0.65× against the Sydney national benchmark. In practical terms, that means a yard in Katherine pays roughly 65% of what the same load would fetch in Sydney, with the difference reflecting transport costs to the nearest smelter or export port. That's a steep discount, reflecting Katherine's remoteness — metal here travels a long way before processing, and yards price that in.
