If you’ve got an old fridge, washing machine, or dryer taking up space at home, you’re not alone. White goods are some of the most common items that end up sitting in garages and backyards across Brisbane’s north side, but they don’t have to end up in landfill. At Action Metal Recyclers in Banyo, we make it easy to recycle your unwanted white goods for cash.
What Counts as White Goods?
White goods are mainly household appliances. This includes stoves, fridges, freezers, clothes washers, dryers, and dishwashers. These items fall under what we classify as dirty light gauge steel, and they’re one of the most common types of steel scrap we buy at our Banyo yard.
Steel is 100% recyclable and can be recycled an infinite amount of times, saving energy and raw materials each time it is reprocessed. So when you bring in that old fridge or broken washing machine, you’re not just clearing space, you’re contributing to a cycle that preserves resources, reduces emissions, and supports energy conservation.
How It Works at Our Banyo Yard
Our Banyo site is located at 907 Nudgee Road, Banyo QLD 4014, and we service everyone from large public companies and government organisations to tradies, small businesses, and the general public. Whether you’ve got a single dryer or a truckload of appliances from a renovation, our site allows anyone to deliver material from 1kg to 100 tonnes in a safe and friendly environment.
When you arrive, our state-of-the-art custom-built software photo captures each load and automatically captures the weights, providing you with 100% transparency on what you’re being paid. No guesswork, no surprises, just an accurate quote from one of our expert scrap buyers and cash paid on the spot.
You don’t need to book a time. Simply arrive during business hours, Monday to Friday 7:00am to 4:30pm, or Saturday 7:00am to 11:30am, and bring a valid driver’s licence to collect your cash. If those hours don’t suit, we also offer a 24/7 drop-off point at the front of our site to accommodate your after-hours clean-ups.
What About Pricing?
Steel prices differ based on thickness, attachments, impurities, and the location you are delivering it to. White goods like fridges and washing machines typically contain other materials alongside the steel, which can affect the price. For the most accurate quote, we recommend dropping into our Banyo scrap metal recycling site or requesting a quote.
Need a Bin for a Bigger Job?
If you’re clearing out a property or managing a renovation and have a larger volume of white goods and other scrap, we offer a wide range of scrap metal bin types to suit projects of every size, domestic or commercial, long term or short term. Our custom-built bins are designed to make servicing fast, simple, and safe.
A Quick Note on Prohibited Items
We have strict guidelines around what we can accept because some materials may pose a risk to health, safety, property, or the environment. If you’re unsure whether something in your load qualifies, check with the weighbridge office before you drop it off. Any prohibited items found in your load will not be accepted and will be returned.
