HOW THE MANHARIFREE BIN SERVICE WORKS

Step 1: Request a Bin

Call 1300 397 678 or submit an online request. Tell us your location, the type of metals you generate, and your approximate weekly or monthly scrap volume. We will select the right bin size and arrange delivery.

Step 2: Fill the Bin at Your Pace

Place the bin in a convenient location on your site. Fill it as you generate scrap — there is no time pressure. Call us when the bin is full or close to full, or arrange a regular scheduled collection on a weekly or fortnightly basis.

Step 3: We Collect, Weigh and Pay

Our collection driver arrives at the agreed time, removes the full bin, replaces it with an empty bin, and provides a docket showing the gross weight of metal collected. Payment is processed based on the metal types and weights, with funds deposited directly to your nominated bank account.

WHY MANHARI'S SCRAP METAL BIN SERVICE STANDS APART

Unlike other skip bin providers who charge weekly rental fees, Manhari's scrap metal bins are completely free — because the metal inside is our compensation. This means you save on waste disposal costs, generate revenue from what was previously a cost, and simplify your metal waste management in a single arrangement. With over 17 years of service in Victoria, our reliability and transparent pricing have made us the preferred bin provider for hundreds of businesses across Melbourne.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are scrap metal bins in Melbourne really free?
Yes. Manhari Recycling provides scrap metal bins completely free of charge to businesses in Melbourne and Victoria. There are no delivery fees, no rental costs and no collection charges. The service is free because Manhari pays for the metal inside the bin rather than charging you to hire it.
What size scrap metal bins does Manhari offer?
Manhari offers three scrap metal bin sizes: a compact 4x4 foot bin for small workshops and trades, a mid-size 6x4 foot bin for medium fabrication businesses, and a large 8x4 foot bin for factories and industrial sites. All sizes are supplied free of charge across Melbourne and Victoria.
What scrap metal can I put in a Manhari bin?
You can place steel, iron, aluminium, copper, brass, stainless steel, electric motors and mixed metals in a Manhari scrap metal bin. Hazardous materials, waste oil, asbestos, and non-metal waste must not be placed in scrap metal bins. Keeping metals sorted by type can improve the price you receive.
How often will Manhari collect my scrap metal bin?
Collection frequency depends on how quickly your bin fills. Manhari offers scheduled weekly or fortnightly collections for high-volume businesses, or on-demand collection when you call to say the bin is ready. Call 1300 397 678 to set up a collection schedule that suits your operation..
Do I get paid for the metal in my scrap bin?
Yes. When Manhari collects your scrap metal bin, the contents are weighed and you are paid at current market rates for each metal type. Payment is processed by bank transfer. The exact rate depends on the metal composition and current commodity prices at the time of collection.
Can I get a scrap metal bin for a one-off job or construction project?
Yes. Manhari supplies scrap metal bins for short-term projects including building site cleanups, demolition jobs and factory clearances in Melbourne and Victoria. There is no minimum contract period. Call 1300 397 678 to arrange a bin for the duration of your project.
Is there a minimum amount of scrap metal needed to get a free bin?
There is no strict minimum quantity required to receive a free scrap metal bin from Manhari, but the service is most practical for businesses generating regular scrap. For one-off small loads, free pickup collection without a bin may be more suitable. Call 1300 397 678 to discuss the best option for your situation.
