Prohibited Materials

Melbourne Metal Recycling can collect various kinds of recyclable and non-recyclable items. While we always do our best to accommodate each customer’s needs, there are certain metallic and non-metallic materials we’re not permitted to take for you, as per Victorian safety standards, environmental laws and regulations.

Many of our customers have asked us “what will scrap yards not take?” Melbourne Metal Recycling understands that it can be difficult for some of our customers to differentiate between recyclable and non-recyclable items. This is why we’ve compiled a list of non-recyclable items, non-recyclable metals and hazardous materials for your reference.
