Dropped off a ute load of mixed scrap and old wiring and the whole thing was sorted in about ten minutes. Fair price and they explained exactly how the weight and pricing worked. Will definitely be back.
We had an old Commodore that wasn't roadworthy anymore and needed it gone. VIC Copper Recycling arranged the pickup, handled all the paperwork, and paid a decent price. Made the whole process painless.
As a small electrical business we go through a fair bit of copper offcuts and cabling. These guys are straight up about pricing and never try to short-change you at the scales. Easy to deal with every time.
Called about a few old brass fittings and an air conditioning unit I wasn't sure was worth anything. The team talked me through it over the phone and it ended up being worth bringing in. Friendly and genuinely helpful.
We use VIC Copper Recycling for regular pickups from our demolition sites. They are reliable, on time, and the pricing is always transparent. Good communication from start to finish.
