How to organise scrap metal collection

Need scrap metal collection from your premises? Have you just done a big clean-up of your shed or garage, or maybe your workplace, and discovered a whole lot of scrap metal – shelves, tins, frames, old fencing, roofing, and cables?

Rather than dumping it in a big skip and sending it off to a rubbish tip, you can recycle it all. There’s too much to take to a scrap metal merchant yourself, so what are some other options?

Scrap metal recycling options

So what options are available for the disposal of scrap metal? You could wait for your local council’s next hard rubbish collection day, but that could be months off. That’s where your local scrap metal merchant can come to the rescue. Many scrap metal recyclers will arrange scrap metal collection from your property.

They will pick scrap metal up from your home or business, and take it back to their metal recycling yards. Many of these merchants will pay for your recyclable metals, and will quote their metal prices. They can also give separate steel prices and copper prices. That means, that pile of scrap metal can easily be paying for itself.

If your metal recycling is a bit more involved, many merchants can provide a metal recycling bin for your premises. They can also arrange for the removal of scrap metal with cranes, tray trucks, side tippers, or other means, depending on the scrap.

Tips for arranging the collection of scrap metal

Before a scrap metal recycler comes to collect your metal from your premises, ensure you have sorted all the scrap. Separate different types of scrap metal, such as aluminum, steel, and copper, into different piles. This will make it easier for the scrap metal collector to assess the value of your collection.

Always ensure you choose a reputable scrap metal collector. Do some research to find a reputable scrap metal recycler in your area. You can check online reviews on Yellow Pages listings, ask for referrals from friends or family, or contact your local council for recommendations.

Next, it’s important to get an accurate estimate. Contact a few metal recycles and provide them with a description of what you have. They will give you an estimate of the value of your collection.

Once you’ve agreed on a price, schedule a pick-up time. They will come to your premises, assess the scrap metal, and load it onto their truck for transport to their facility. After the scrap metal is weighed at the collector’s facility, you will receive payment for your collection.

Its important to only deal with reputable scrap metal collectors who follow the relevant regulations and laws in Australia. This will ensure that the collection and disposal of your scrap metal is handled in a safe and environmentally responsible manner.
