Why choose professional removal over a scrap yard?

Most people think they’ll make a fortune at the scrap yard, but the reality is often different, involving heavy labour, fuel costs, and long wait times. Here is why homeowners and contractors choose our full-service removal:

• Full-service labour: We are fully insured to handle all heavy lifting and loading from anywhere on your property—no sorting or kerbside moving required.
• Vehicle protection: Avoid truck rental costs and the risk of flat tyres, scratches, or stains to your personal vehicle.
• We take it all: We take "mixed-material" items (like appliances and furniture) that traditional scrap yards often reject.
• No sorting required: We handle the tedious separation of ferrous and non-ferrous metals so you don’t have to.
• Convenient scheduling: Skip the long queues at the yard with scheduled, same-day appointments that give you your weekend back.

We have locations across Australia to provide you with fast, local service wherever you are.

How much does scrap metal disposal and recycling cost?

It’s based on how much space your rubbish takes up in the truck. It starts from our minimum charge of 1/8th of a truckload all the way up to a full truckload. Since the price is based on volume, we need to see your items in person to give you an exact price. Call or book your free no-obligation estimate today!

We also offer single-item pricing if you only need to remove one item. For more details, visit our Pricing page.

If you have more than just metal to get rid of, we can take almost any non-hazardous item. For a full list, see our What We Take page.

This approach helps reduce the need for invasive mining and lowers the energy required to manufacture new products. When we haul away your old appliances or renovation waste, we ensure these materials are given a second life in new manufacturing, supporting a more sustainable community with every pickup.

Scrap metal removal FAQs

Do you pay for scrap metal?

We are a full-service rubbish removal company. While scrap metal has value, our fee covers the labour, insurance, fuel, and transportation required to remove the items from your property. You aren't just paying for disposal; you're paying for the convenience of not having to touch the metal yourself.

Are there any metals you don’t take?

We cannot accept items containing hazardous materials, such as mercury switches, radioactive materials, or sealed pressurised tanks (unless they are professionally decommissioned).

Can you remove heavy items like cast-iron tubs or boilers?

Yes, our teams are equipped to handle heavy-duty metal.

Is there a minimum load size for metal pickup?

No job is too small! Whether it’s a single old appliance or a full-scale warehouse clear-out, we can handle any volume quickly and professionally.

Do I need to move the metal to the kerb?

Not at all, our crew picks it up from wherever it's located.
