Best price offered for aluminium cans in Melbourne. Had a bit of an issue with with the correct weight of the cans but the staff were very helpful and worked out the tare weight of the bin was marked incorrectly. They fixed the problem quickly, apologised profusely and had me on my way very quickly. I'm very impressed with these guys and highly recommend dealing with them. Very Happy indeed.

Scrappy's are fantastic. A pleasure to deal with. So honest and efficient. Having been left massively disappointed with the first company, Scrappy's restored our faith in this industry. HIGHLY recommend Scrappy's. Thank you :)
