We pulled the old carport and hot water system out during the reno. They weighed it in front of me and swept the slab before they left.

About Brisbane Scrap Metal Buyers
Brisbane Scrap Metal Buyers is a local scrap metal collection company that makes scrap metal collection simple. We buy and recover aluminium, batteries, brass, car bodies, copper and e-waste, with services tailored to a one-off collection as well as regular commercial and industrial use.
Each load comes with its own set of specifications, which is why we ask for basic information or photos before arranging a pickup. Our team can then discuss the best suited option with you, and whether a truck run makes sense.

Two bins on site for the strip out, swapped the day we asked. The copper off the switchboards was weighed on its own, which nobody else offered.

Rang at eight with a ute load of cable offcuts and a switchboard. Truck was here by lunch and I was paid before it left the driveway.
