Mining, oil and gas, civil and tunnelling, manufacturing, defence and marine, heavy plant and maintenance. Different sectors send different tooling through our gate, but every batch gets sorted by alloy and weighed on scale before it’s priced, whichever industry it came from.
Mining · WA-wide A worn carbide button bit off a drill rig and a worn carbide insert off a CNC lathe are both tungsten carbide. Every batch that comes through the gate at 2/89 Pavers Circle is sorted by alloy family, whether it arrived from a Goldfields shutdown or a Malaga workshop.
What changes by industry is the mix. A mine site sends drill string and ground engaging tools. An offshore platform sends tubulars and decommissioning steel. A manufacturer sends end mills and dies. The pages below cover the streams, the logistics and the pricing detail specific to your sector. This page is the index. If you already know which industry you’re in, go straight there.
What a batch is worth depends on grade, how much contamination or attached steel is mixed through it, and the tonnage involved, checked against the current market price for that material. We do not publish a flat rate across industries because those variables shift from one batch to the next; sending photos gets you a straighter answer than a generic price list would.
Once a batch is signed off and weighed, EFT payment follows. Around 80% of loads that are ready for settlement are paid the same day, though material still working through sorting can take a little longer. That is the typical pattern, not a guarantee.
Mining · WA-wide Whatever industry sends the load, the same three questions decide what we pay and how we handle it.
The same sequence scales to each job.
Whether it’s one drum off a workshop bench or a multi-tonne shutdown clearance, these apply the same way.
Every load is weighed on scale before it’s priced, so the number you’re paid on matches the number on the docket.
Carbide, alloy steel and non-ferrous material are separated and priced by grade.
A batch record travels with every load: what came in, what it weighed, what it graded as, where it went.
No cost for the bin, no cost for the freight. The bin travels back to us on an existing backload run rather than on freight we charge for. Our skip bins and IBC pods move on your existing backload; we don’t run a skip truck to pick them up.
Independent research published in Journal of Cleaner Production (2019) found recycling can reduce environmental impacts by 22 to 100 percent, depending on the category. Recovering tungsten carbide and alloy steel also keeps them out of landfill and mixed scrap.
Each batch record lists its weight, alloy grade and destination, giving your team a clear trail for internal reporting.
Send photos of what you have and where it came from, and we will tell you which material stream it belongs to and how to get it here.
