Tradespeople, workshops and smaller businesses across Burnie and north-west Tasmania generate a variety of recyclable scrap metals through everyday repairs, fabrication, maintenance and installation work. From steel offcuts and aluminium sheet to copper pipe, brass fittings and surplus metal components, these materials can often be recovered for recycling. SRS Metals purchases and recycles suitable scrap metals through its Camdale location near Burnie.Different trades and workshops generate different types of recyclable metal. Metal fabrication and engineering workshops may produce steel offcuts, plate, pipe and surplus structural sections. Plumbing businesses can generate copper pipe, brass fittings and other suitable metal components from installation and replacement work. Automotive and mechanical workshops may have recyclable steel and aluminium parts, while building and maintenance businesses can generate roofing sheets, metal framing, aluminium offcuts and other surplus materials.
Keeping different types of scrap metal separated where practical can make them easier to identify, grade and recycle. For example, separating steel from aluminium, copper and brass can assist with assessment, while keeping recyclable materials free from unnecessary contamination can help maintain their suitability for recycling. The type, condition and composition of the materials can influence how they are assessed. SRS Metals does not accept hazardous materials, including asbestos-containing materials.
“Tradespeople and workshops can generate recyclable metal through everyday jobs, from fabrication offcuts to materials removed during repairs and maintenance. Keeping suitable scrap metals separated where practical can make recycling easier, and our Burnie team can discuss the options available for different materials,” an SRS Metals spokesperson said.
Tradespeople, workshops and other businesses can drop off suitable recyclable metals at SRS Metals' Camdale location at 28 Scarfe Street, near Burnie, during trading hours. Residential customers are also welcome to drop off suitable recyclable metals, although residential collection is not available. Commercial and industrial businesses generating larger or regular quantities of scrap metal can discuss suitable collection arrangements based on their materials, quantities, location and site requirements. Scrap metal bins and bulka bags may be available where appropriate.
