Pickup run - Pilbara
On-site collection
for mining ops.
Port Hedland, Karratha, Newman and the operations between them. Bins staged at the workshop or laydown, collected on a cycle that fits the shutdown calendar rather than fighting it.
How the run works
Up here the constraint is
the window, not the metal.
Pilbara operations generate specialty metal in bursts – a change-out, a shutdown, a workshop clear-out – and then nothing for weeks. A fixed monthly cycle does not fit that. We stage bins on site, align collection with your shutdown calendar, and consolidate back to Malaga where the material is weighed and assayed against your own reference.
What we collect out here
What travels south, and what stays behind.
We collect
Worn drill bits, hammers and rotary tooling.
Carbide inserts, tips and grinding swarf.
Ground-engaging tools, wear plate and liner plate.
Stainless and duplex process pipework.
High-nickel pump and valve components.
Full shutdown clear-outs with staged collection windows.
We don't carry
Dangerous goods requiring a licensed DG carrier.
Wear parts still holding oil, grease or hydraulic fluid.
Components packed with ore, mud or process residue.
Anything not broken down and made safe for lifting.
How collection runs
Four steps. One reference.
- 01 / Step Bins Staged Bins dropped at the workshop or laydown ahead of the shutdown, with spare units held so a full bin never stops the crew.
- 02 / Step Collection Window Collected on a cycle set against your shutdown calendar, consolidated onto line-haul under our consignment reference.
- 03 / Step Weigh & Assay Weighed and assayed at Malaga against your own reference. Consolidated transport never means pooled settlement.
- 04 / Step Payment Sent EFT within 48 hours of you signing the assay, with weighbridge and assay records attached.
