About Us
Straight dealing since day one
Perth Metal Recyclers started with a mission and a simple idea: pay people properly, weigh everything honestly, and turn up when you say you will. It still runs the business today.
Our Story
Built in the yard, not the boardroom
Perth Metal Recyclers is a family-owned Western Australian business that has grown from a small business in 2012 into one of the state's most capable metal recycling operations — without ever losing the habits of a small yard: straight answers, fair weights and payment that doesn't need chasing.
When you deal with Perth Metal Recyclers, you are dealing with a professional West Australian family owned and operated company that purchases, processes and exports — which guarantees you, as the seller, Perth's best prices.
Today our Bibra Lake facility processed over 7,500 tonnes of ferrous and non-ferrous metal last year. We run a metro-wide collection fleet, a full skip bin service, industrial processing crews and a public yard where anyone — from a household with a dead hot water system to a road train of mine-site steel — gets the same certified weigh and the same daily price.
Everything we buy is sorted, graded and processed here in WA, then shipped to mills and smelters to become new metal. It's a business that was circular before the word was fashionable — and we're proud of our experienced, skilled and knowledgeable West Australian team.
The Facility

Because we purchase, process and export in-house, the value of every load stays in the chain — and ends up in your pocket, not a middleman's.

Our Values
What we stand on
Four principles, unchanged since 2012. They're why tradies who sold to us as apprentices still sell to us as business owners.
01
Straight dealing
Certified scales, prices displayed openly, dockets on every load. We built years of repeat business by never needing to be checked up on.
02
Safety without shortcuts
Heavy metal, heavy machinery, working yards and client sites — our safety systems are audited, our crews inducted, and nobody rushes a lift.
03
Local first
Family-owned, WA-staffed, Bibra Lake-based. The people who answer the phone are the people in the yard — decisions get made here, not interstate.
04
Genuine sustainability
Recycling is our product, not our marketing. We report real tonnages our commercial customers can put in their own books.
