Townsville is one of Queensland’s most industrially active regional cities, home to a thriving mining, defence, construction, and manufacturing sector. With so much metal being used across these industries, there is a significant opportunity for businesses and individuals to recover real value from their scrap. Action Metal Recyclers’ Townsville depot, located at 15 Bolam Street, Garbutt, is your local partner for all things scrap metal recycling in North Queensland.
