PROFESSIONAL METAL RECYCLING AND SALES WITH UNPARALLELED LEVELS OF SERVICE AND SAFETY
General Metal Recyclers offers a range of services including scrap metal collection with a weigh and pay service for all kinds of businesses. Tradies such as plumbers and mechanics that generate scrap on a monthly basis can also be supplied with collection bins or can bring scrap into our yards in Lower Hutt and Levin directly for valuation and immediate payment.
If you need a bin, it will be delivered and picked up again for free and replaced for refilling if necessary. General Metal Recyclers drivers are licensed scrap metal buyers and will weigh your scrap and pay you in cash on the spot should you wish.
General Metal Recyclers’ drivers are also qualified crane operators so safety is assured when the contents of bins are being processed in your yard or premises.
Phone General Metal Recyclers now for more information and to order a bin for your business or make an appointment to bring your scrap metal into one of our Wellington depots for assessment and recycling.
