Services for businesses and trades
For businesses that generate scrap repeatedly, recycling works best as an operating process rather than a one-off clean-up. We work with electricians, plumbers, builders, demolition contractors, manufacturers, workshops, warehouses and property operators to remove accepted metal and recover value from material that would otherwise occupy valuable space.
Depending on the quantity and site, we can discuss one-off bulk collections, recurring pickups and collection arrangements that suit the way your business generates scrap.
How to get a quote
To get useful pricing guidance quickly, tell us the material type, approximate quantity or weight, condition, suburb and whether you can drop the load at Pendle Hill. Photos are helpful for mixed loads, machinery, motors and material that may need grading. Final value is confirmed after the accepted material is inspected and weighed.
