Who we work with

Built for Pilbara
mining and drilling operations

Pilbara sites send us drill bits, drill rods and carbide inserts off mine sites and oil and gas work. We work with mining operations, drilling contractors, engineering workshops, oil and gas operators and heavy plant maintenance teams across the region, buying tungsten carbide, drill bits, drill rods, carbide inserts, high-speed steel, GET and wear parts, and other specialty tooling and alloys.

Household and kerbside metal stays off our list in the Pilbara, the same as every region we cover.

  • Jobs scoped individually, generally collected within the same week
  • No charge for the bin or the backload that moves it, on qualifying loads
  • Every load weighed and graded at Malaga, settled by EFT
  • Weight and recovery record issued with each collection

Common questions

Pilbara collection FAQs

  • Pilbara jobs are assessed case by case. Most land within the same week, depending on site and material.

  • Yes, we collect from Karratha and Port Hedland as part of our Pilbara coverage. Send your location through and we’ll confirm timing.

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

  • Yes, direct site collection happens where the volume and access suit it. Send photos and a rough weight and we’ll confirm what’s achievable.
