Sydney’s industrial zones produce tonnes of scrap metal every year. Old steel beams, copper wires and aluminum panels often pile up on construction sites. Brass fittings and scrap parts collect on factory floors. If this scrap is not removed, it takes up space and can harm the environment. Industries across Sydney rely on our expert services for scrap metal removal. Sydney Metal Corp helps solve Sydney’s scrap problem. We offer reliable industrial scrap metal removal services for businesses. Our trucks and teams collect scrap metal from factories and warehouses across Sydney. We are a leading metal recycling company in NSW. We turn scrap into new material.
Scrap Metal Collection
We collect scrap metal right from your industrial site. Our skilled staff bring trucks and equipment to your factory or construction location. You do not need to deliver anything. We handle big jobs like factory clean-ups or demolition sites. Just gather your scrap metal in one area or bin. We can pick up almost all industrial metal scrap:
- Steel and Iron: Old beams, pipes, girders, metal sheets and heavy parts.
- Copper: Wires, pipes, cables, and electrical components.
- Aluminium: Panels, siding, frames and aluminium castings.
- Brass and Other Alloys: Brass fittings, bronze or brass parts from plumbing or machinery.
- Machinery and Equipment: Large motors, gears, generators, engines and other industrial machine parts.
We buy and recycle all these kinds of scrap metal. Removing scrap gives you a clean site and extra cash from selling metal.
Bin Hire
We provide heavy-duty scrap metal bins for hire. If your project creates lots of scrap metal, we drop off a bin at your site. You fill the bin as you work, then we pick it up when it’s full. This makes on-site scrap management easy and safe. Your scrap metal stays contained and out of the way. Using bins keeps your work area organized and reduces hazards. We handle the delivery and collection of bins, so you only need to focus on your project.
On-Site Weighing
When we arrive, we weigh the empty truck first, then weigh again after loading your scrap. The difference is the scrap weight. This gives an accurate measure for payment. We pay you fairly for your scrap metal on-site. It also speeds up the process because you do not have to move metal twice.
Export Preparation and Logistics
Sydney Metal Corp also manages export of large scrap loads. Many metals are in demand overseas, so we prepare them for safe shipping. Our team sorts and bundles scrap by metal type and grade. We remove any non-metal parts and contaminants then arrange transport in trucks or shipping containers and handle all necessary paperwork and customs rules. This service is mainly for large industrial lots that go to international mills. By managing the logistics, we ensure your scrap reaches new factories for recycling.
Types of Metals Accepted
We accept both ferrous and non-ferrous metals from industrial sites. Ferrous metals contain iron and are magnetic. For example, steel and iron scrap are common ferrous metals. Non-ferrous metals do not contain iron. These include valuable metals like copper, aluminium, and brass. We also accept other non-ferrous industrial metals such as zinc or tin if available. All metals we collect are recycled. We do not take everyday household or residential waste – only commercial and industrial materials.
Recycling Process
After we collect industrial scrap, it goes through recycling steps:
- Collection: We gather scrap metal from your site or you bring it to one of our yards.
- Sorting: At our facility, we sort the metals by type and remove any trash. Magnets help separate steel and iron from non-ferrous metals.
- Shredding/Cutting: Large metal pieces are fed into shredders or shears. This cuts the scrap into smaller chunks to make it easier to melt.
- Melting: The metal pieces are put into a furnace and melted down. Each metal type is melted separately to keep it pure.
- Recasting: Once melted, the liquid metal is poured into molds or rolled into sheets and ingots. These new metal forms are shipped to factories and used again in making products.
- Reuse: The recycled metal is used in new construction, car parts, electronics, packaging and many other products.
This recycling loop turns old scrap into fresh materials without mining new ore.
Benefits of Recycling Industrial Metal
Recycling scrap metal has many benefits for companies and the planet:
- Environmental: Every ton of metal recycled means one less ton of raw ore is mined. This saves energy and reduces carbon emissions. Recycling also keeps scrap out of landfills and prevents pollution.
- Economic: Businesses earn money from scrap instead of paying disposal fees. The metal scrap market provides income for your business. Metal recycling also creates jobs in our local community.
- Space & Safety: Removing scrap frees up yard space. A clean worksite is safer. Piles of scrap metal can be a fire hazard or obstacle; clearing them out improves efficiency. Organized scrap storage (with bins) makes cleanup and inspections easier.
By using Sydney Metal Corp for scrap removal, your company supports a circular economy and meets environmental goals.
