Who we work with

Built for Kalgoorlie's
mining and drilling operations

Kalgoorlie-Boulder sits within the Goldfields region. This page covers Kalgoorlie-Boulder itself; the Goldfields page covers the wider district. Workshops and drilling contractors around the city generate a steady stream of worn tungsten carbide and drill bit tooling. We work with mining operations, drilling contractors, engineering workshops and heavy plant maintenance teams in and around Kalgoorlie, buying tungsten carbide, drill bits, drill rods, carbide inserts, high-speed steel, GET and wear parts, and other specialty tooling and alloys.

We don’t take household or kerbside scrap in Kalgoorlie, or anywhere else.

Common questions

Kalgoorlie collection FAQs

  • No. Drill Bits Recyclers has one depot, in Malaga, Perth. Kalgoorlie jobs are arranged individually and graded and paid back at that depot.

  • Most Kalgoorlie jobs we’ve assessed get collected within a week, though it depends on site access and what’s being collected.

  • For qualifying commercial loads, yes. The bin and the backload freight cost nothing. The bin moves on your existing backload; we don’t run a pickup for it.

  • Yes, if the volume and site access work for a direct pickup. Send photos and a rough weight and we’ll confirm what we can do.
