Domestic Scrap Metal
Clean Out. Cash In.
At Inner City Metals, we make domestic scrap metal recycling simple and worthwhile. Whether you’re clearing out the garage, replacing an old washing machine, or saying goodbye to that rusted backyard BBQ, we’ll help you turn unwanted metal into real money.
Our team works with households across Melbourne, offering reliable, honest service and top prices for a wide range of domestic scrap. No confusing terms. Accurate scales. Straightforward recycling that rewards you.
