ON ARRIVAL

The entrance to our yard can be found half way down Dundas Spur on both the right and left side of the road. The main yard and weighbridge is located on the north side of Dundas Spur and the non-ferrous yard on the south side.

If you have any ferrous scrap (mainly iron) please pull onto the weighbridge and report to the weighbridge office. If you have non-ferrous scrap, please report to our non-ferrous section where our team of friendly staff will provide all the help they can. If you are a new customer, please report to the weighbridge first where we can set up your account.
