Flexible Collection and Drop-Off Options
We understand that every business operates differently. That is why we offer flexible arrangements to suit your volume, location and schedule.
We Come to You
We offer a collection service across the Brisbane metro area. Whether you have a one-off load or ongoing scrap generated regularly, we are happy to discuss your requirements and work out an arrangement that suits your business. Give us a call to discuss your quantities and we will let you know what we can do for you.
Regular Collection Service
For businesses that generate scrap metal on an ongoing basis, we offer a regular scheduled collection service. We supply bins in sizes to suit your volume and collect on a frequency that keeps your site clean and your operations running smoothly. Once the arrangement is in place, we handle everything.
Drop-Off at Our Depot
Prefer to bring your scrap to us? Our drive-through depot at 913 Lytton Road, Murarrie is easy to access for trucks and heavy vehicles. We are centrally located near the Gateway Bridge, making us a straightforward run from most parts of Brisbane.
What You Need to Know
Photo ID Required
All transactions require a valid photo ID showing your name and address, such as a driver’s licence. This applies to all customers regardless of whether you are a private individual or a business. No ID means no purchase. This is a legal requirement and helps protect the integrity of the recycling industry.
ABN Required for Business Sales
All scrap sold to United Scrap Metal Traders from a business activity must be accompanied by a valid ABN. If no ABN is provided, we are required by law under Australian Taxation rules to withhold 48.5 percent of the total value of the transaction. Please have your ABN ready when you call or visit.
Certified Product Destruction Available
Need metal products destroyed rather than simply recycled? We offer a Certified Product Destruction service and provide a signed Certificate of Destruction for your records. This is ideal for businesses managing compliance obligations, clearing branded stock or disposing of confidential materials.
Simple, Transparent Payment
We pay bank transfer or cash for all commercial and industrial accounts. Once your scrap is weighed and graded, payment is processed promptly and you will receive full documentation for your records.
What We Buy From Commercial and Industrial Clients
We buy all ferrous and non-ferrous metals generated from commercial and industrial activity, including:
All materials are carefully graded and processed at our Murarrie facility before being exported to smelters worldwide, keeping your scrap out of landfill and back in the circular economy.
