We’ve had countless conversations over the years with businesses closing down. Whether it’s shutting down a site, selling the operation, or just scaling back, there’s one costly mistake we see time and time again. They’re leaving without earning the income from scrap metal within their facility.
The Hidden Value Most Business Owners Miss
People underestimate how much value is sitting in the bones of their business. We’ve watched too many owners wrap up operations, hand over the keys, and walk away without realising the goldmine they’re leaving behind.
That old equipment gathering dust? Worth money. Those fixtures and fittings you’ve written off? Worth money. Even the metal components in machinery you thought was worthless? All worth money.
At Inner City Metals, we’ve helped hundreds of Melbourne business owners discover thousands of dollars in scrap metal value during their closure process. It’s money that’s rightfully yours – you just need to know where to look.
We Handle Everything So You Don’t Have To
Closing a business is stressful enough without having to figure out how to strip, sort, and haul away metal materials. We’ll assess your entire site, identify every piece of recoverable metal, and handle all the heavy lifting. Our experienced crew safely strips equipment, removes fixtures, and sorts materials for maximum value recovery.
How We Make It Simple
Site Assessment: I’ll come out personally to evaluate what you’ve got. No obligation, no pressure – just an honest assessment of the value in your closure.
Full-Service Removal: We organise everything from labour crews to skip bins. Whether it’s equipment that’s no longer needed or heavy machinery you can’t move, we have the crew and equipment to handle it safely.
Maximum Value Recovery: We don’t just haul away scrap – we maximise your returns. Our team knows how to properly sort and process materials to ensure you get the best possible price.
Why This Matters
When you’re closing a business, every dollar counts. The metal value in a typical business closure can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars. That’s money that can help with your next venture, cover closure costs, or provide a better financial cushion during your transition.
I’ve been doing this long enough to know that every business has hidden value. From manufacturing facilities with structural steel to offices with metal fixtures, there’s almost always more money to be recovered than owners initially realise.
