Manufacturing and fabrication businesses across Hobart and southern Tasmania generate a range of recyclable scrap metals through their day-to-day operations. From steel offcuts and aluminium sheet to stainless steel components and surplus metal sections, these materials can often be recovered for recycling. SRS Metals supports local manufacturers and fabricators through its recycling location in Rokeby, Hobart.Different manufacturing and fabrication processes generate different types of recyclable metal. Steel fabrication workshops commonly produce offcuts, plate, pipe and structural sections, while businesses working with aluminium may generate sheet metal, extrusions and surplus material. Stainless steel offcuts, metal fittings and suitable components from equipment upgrades can also be recycled, depending on their composition and condition.
Keeping different types of scrap metal separated where practical can make materials easier to identify, grade and recycle. For example, separating steel from aluminium and stainless steel can assist with assessment, while keeping recyclable metals free from unnecessary contamination can help maintain their suitability for recycling. The type, condition and composition of the materials can influence how they are assessed.
“Manufacturing and fabrication businesses can generate several different types of metal scrap during their operations. Keeping materials separated where practical can make them easier to identify and recycle. We work with Hobart businesses to discuss suitable recycling and collection options,” an SRS Metals spokesperson said.
Manufacturing and fabrication businesses can drop off suitable recyclable metals at SRS Metals' Rokeby location in Hobart during trading hours. Commercial and industrial customers can also discuss scrap metal collection arrangements based on the materials generated, quantities, site access and operational requirements. Scrap metal bins and bulka bags may be suitable options depending on the business and its recycling needs.
