RECOVERABLE COMMODITIES

Industrial recycling services Melbourne for hard-to-place business streams

We take plastic offcuts, empty containers, specialty metals, lead-acid batteries and solar panels from Melbourne businesses. We collect them once or on a regular schedule, or you bring them to Braeside by arrangement, and the material is reused or recycled. Business and industry only. We don't offer residential services.

How we work

Crex runs industrial recycling services Melbourne businesses use for one-off loads and regular output.

The problem

Empty IBCs, bags of plastic offcuts or old tooling can sit in a corner for months. You know where it came from, but finding someone to take it eats into production time. It might be steady weekly output, or a one-off leftover from a change in equipment or stock.

What Crex does

Tell us about it. What it is, where it comes from, its condition and roughly how much. Photos help.
We check and quote. We confirm whether we can take it before anything is booked, and email you a quote.
We collect. We agree packing, access and timing with your site contact, then collect once or on a regular schedule.

What we don't handle

Plastics outside our programme: HDPE, PP, ABS, PVC, PET, foam and film.
Mixed, dirty or contaminated streams, or a grade that has changed without telling us.
Household material of any kind.
Material we can't identify. Send the grade, a photo and where it came from.

Two ways to run it

A defined project

A one-off job for stored material, obsolete stock or leftovers from a production change. Tell us what it is, roughly how much and how it's stored. If an area needs clearing by a date, say so early.

A recurring programme

Regular collections for steady output. We set the frequency around your production and storage space, and adjust it when things change.

Use the material preparation guide to get started. A short email is enough: what it is, how much, how it's stored and where it is.

Collection arrangements

Collection across metropolitan Melbourne, with delivery to our yard available by arrangement for business loads.

MELBOURNE & VICTORIA

Across Melbourne, including

Your questions

Good questions. Clear answers.

Email our team

Does my material need to be on your list?

No. Tell us what it is, where it comes from, its condition, roughly how much and where it is. We'll tell you if we can take it before anything is booked.

Can you take a one-off load?

Yes. A one-off job suits stored material or leftovers from a production change. Let us know if more of the same will follow.

How often can collections run?

As often as your output and storage space need. A regular programme works best with one person on site who tells us when things change.

Can we add a new grade to an existing programme?

Yes. Send us details and photos first, and keep it separate until we confirm we can take it.
