Scrap metal pickup in Modbury, and what comes out of it

Modbury is twelve minutes from the yard and is the commercial centre of Adelaide's north-east, so we are there for businesses as often as houses.

Modbury began as a village in 1857, and the name comes from a Saxon word meaning a meeting place, which turned out to be accurate. Westfield Tea Tree Plaza opened here in September 1970, built by Myer on what was then the largest remaining undeveloped non-industrial parcel of land in metropolitan Adelaide. Modbury now holds the north-east's main business district along with the Civic Centre and library.

Being the business centre changes what we collect here. Modbury gives us more commercial metal than residential -- shop and office fitouts coming out, old air conditioning plant, electrical offcuts from trades working around the Plaza, and stainless from food premises. Commercial jobs get a bin or cage on site and a scheduled run rather than a one-off pickup, and the weight goes over the scales in front of you. Commercial work also runs differently on the paperwork side. A business needs weights it can file and a payment to the business rather than cash in a hand, so Modbury jobs get weighed on site, paid by EFT and documented. If you are a trade working the Plaza precinct, a scheduled run beats calling us each time.

Around the Tea Tree Plaza precinct access is loading dock and time window rather than driveway, so tell us the dock and the hours when you book. For an ongoing job we leave a bin or a cage on site and come back on a schedule instead of waiting for a call. Business pickups are weighed on site, paid by EFT, and you get the paperwork.

We come up North East Road and can get a bin on site at a Modbury business usually within a day or two of the call.

Frequently asked questions - Modbury

Can you put a bin on site at a Modbury business?

Yes. That is the normal arrangement for commercial work around Modbury and the Tea Tree Plaza precinct. You tell us roughly how fast you fill it, we come back on a schedule, and the business gets paid by EFT with paperwork.

Do you buy stainless from a Modbury kitchen fitout?

Yes. Stainless benches, sinks and shelving all have value, and a commercial kitchen strip-out is one of the better loads we get out of Modbury.

Do you deal with trades working around Tea Tree Plaza?

Regularly. Modbury is the main business district of the north-east, and the Plaza has been the shopping hub since Myer opened it in September 1970. Shop and office fitouts, old air conditioning plant, electrical offcuts and stainless out of food premises are the bulk of what we lift here.

Do you invoice, or is it cash in hand?

For a Modbury business it is paperwork and EFT, not cash in hand. You get the weights and a record of what was collected, which is what an accountant needs and what a cash transaction cannot give you. Household pickups can still be cash if that is easier.

How often would you empty a bin at a Modbury workshop?

Whatever matches how fast you fill it. Some shops around the Plaza precinct need a fortnightly run, a busier fabrication shop might be weekly. We would rather set a schedule than have a full bin sitting in the way of your work for a week.
