Had a chat with their receptionist. Stated they dont service Eastern suburbs even though its clearly stated on their website. Told me to google somewhere else. Bad customer service. False advertising on the website.

Been dealing with these guys for years. Whether it be scrapping our copper/brass/lead at great rates, having them leave bins on larger projects for scrap, or simply heading down there to get rid of steel. They have always been easy to deal with and always contactable. Very reliable metal recycling company.
