Metal recycling Victoria is more important than ever as environmental concerns and sustainability efforts grow across the state. Whether you’re a homeowner with scrap metal in your backyard or a business managing industrial waste, proper recycling practices are essential. At Manhari Recycling, we are committed to providing accessible, ethical, and efficient recycling solutions that support Victoria’s move toward a circular economy.
Why Metal Recycling Is Vital in Victoria
Environmental Benefits
Metal recycling helps significantly reduce the need for raw material mining. Mining requires energy, water, and often leads to environmental degradation. By recycling metals like steel, aluminum, copper, and brass, we conserve resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Economic Importance
Victoria’s recycling sector is a major contributor to the economy. It supports thousands of jobs and drives innovation. Recycled metal is a valuable resource for manufacturing industries, construction, and more.
Legal and Regulatory Compliance
With environmental regulations becoming stricter, proper disposal and recycling of metal waste are no longer optional. Businesses that partner with licensed recyclers like Manhari Recycling ensure compliance with state and federal waste management laws.

What Metals Can Be Recycled?
Common Types of Recyclable Metals
At Manhari Recycling, we accept a wide range of metals including:
- Aluminum – Soft, lightweight, and highly recyclable. Found in cans, car parts, and window frames.
- Steel & Stainless Steel – Common in appliances, tools, and construction materials.
- Copper – High-value metal used in wiring, plumbing, and electronics.
- Brass & Bronze – Often found in decorative items, plumbing fixtures, and musical instruments.
- Lead & Zinc – Used in batteries, roofing, and various industrial products.
Ferrous vs. Non-Ferrous Metals
- Ferrous Metals contain iron and are magnetic (like steel and cast iron).
- Non-Ferrous Metals do not contain iron, are non-magnetic, and typically more valuable (like copper and aluminum).
We accept both types, and our team will help you sort and evaluate them for maximum return.
How the Metal Recycling Process Works
At Manhari Recycling, we follow a systematic process to ensure every piece of metal is recycled properly:
1. Collection
We offer:
- Walk-in Services at our facility
- Commercial Bins for business clients
- Scheduled Pickups for bulk or heavy scrap
2. Sorting
Our advanced equipment and trained staff separate different types of metals based on their properties. This ensures efficient processing and higher returns.
3. Processing
The metal is then:
- Cleaned to remove impurities
- Shredded or Cut into smaller parts
- Melted in furnaces designed for specific metal types
4. Purification and Solidifying
Purified metal is turned into blocks, sheets, or other forms ready for reuse in manufacturing.
