Free Scrap Metal Collection & Pickup

For clients who cannot transport scrap to our Tottenham yard, or who prefer the convenience of on-site collection, Manhari provides free scrap metal pickup from your property. Our fleet includes tray trucks, semi-trucks, hook trucks, crane trucks, and Freightliners — giving us the capability to handle everything from a ute-load of copper pipe to a full factory floor of structural steel.

Factory Cleanups and Industrial Site Clearances

One of Manhari's most valued services for the commercial and industrial sector. When a factory is closing, relocating, or undergoing a major plant upgrade, Manhari's industrial team mobilises to assess, remove and process all scrap metal on site — with minimal disruption to your timeline.

Our factory cleanup service covers: machinery frames and plant equipment, structural steel and fitout materials, electrical infrastructure including copper cabling and switchgear, aluminium fabrications and sheet metal, stainless steel from food processing or medical equipment, and all other ferrous and non-ferrous metals on site.

In many factory clearances, the scrap metal recovered offsets a significant portion — and in some cases all — of the cleanup and removal costs.

Manhari's industrial team works with your maintenance, engineering or project team to coordinate removal in stages that suit your operational needs. All loads are weighed on our certified weighbridge at Tottenham, with detailed dockets provided for your records.
