Metal recycling
Metal recycling services · Perth, WA
Three services.
One yard in Malaga.
Drill Bits Recyclers runs collection and logistics, specialist material identification, and site and shutdown clearance from a single yard at Malaga. Whichever service brings a load in, it’s sorted, graded and settled the same way.
How our services work together
Most jobs start with
a photo or a call.
Most jobs start with a photo or phone call about material in a yard or coming off a shutdown. Drill Bits Recyclers matches the job to collection, specialist identification or a site clearance.
Every load is sorted into material streams, graded, weighed at Malaga and settled by EFT. Specialist identification, including XRF where a closer look is warranted, is covered on its own page below. If you are unsure which service fits, send a photo and we will tell you.
Payment follows EFT once the final weight and grading are confirmed. Around 80% of loads that are ready for settlement are paid out the same day; material that still needs sorting or processing can take a little longer. Those are typical outcomes, not a promise.
Walk-throughs at the Malaga yard are free, but they need to be booked ahead. The team is not always on site during listed hours, so call first rather than dropping in unannounced. We don’t take hazardous or radioactive material, biohazards, general waste, pressure vessels, oils or coolants, so check with us first if you’re unsure whether something is in scope.
