Went to Runabout Metals to trade in some old car batteries that had been lying around the house and was pleasantly surprised by the instant cash I received for what I thought was just junk! The ladies in the office were helpful, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly, which I really appreciated. Thanks, Di & Collette!

I’d definitely recommend Runabout Metals to family and friends looking to trade in their scrap metal for some extra cash, especially with Christmas just around the corner! 🎄

Been going there for long time Rip off place . The guy who works there have some anger proplems , he is rude and not professional at all .
He have an excuse not to pay for every single piece of equipment that you will drop off . Everything is full of insulation for him even a 250 kg castiorn , steel and stainlesteel oven .

The ladies in the office are great and I feel sorry for them to work with such person.

Response from the owner 05:07 30 Oct 25

Hi Mohamed, We’re very sorry to hear about your recent experience and truly regret that you left feeling dissatisfied. Customer experience is extremely important to us, and we take feedback like this seriously.Unfortunately, we don’t offer payment for certain products such as ovens or equipment that contain a large amount of insulation or mixed materials, this policy was explained to the best of our ability at the time. These materials often contain non-metal components that affect recyclability and value, which is why we’re unable to pay for them.To assist, we even recommended another scrap yard in Perth that does accept and pay for white goods, but understand you preferred not to travel there. We always try to help customers find an alternative solution wherever possible.We sincerely apologise if this caused frustration or disappointment. Our goal is always to communicate clearly and treat every customer with respect. We’ll also review this situation internally to ensure we continue improving how we explain these details in future.Thank you for bringing this to our attention.Kind regards,The Runabout Metals Team

Dropped off a heavy commercial oven and they said it’s insulated, paid nothing for it. Won’t go back.

Response from the owner 05:08 30 Oct 25

Hi Muhammed,We’re sorry to hear about your disappointment and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We completely understand it can be frustrating when an item isn’t eligible for payment.Unfortunately, large commercial ovens are heavily insulated and contain non-metal components, which makes them unsuitable for payment under scrap metal guidelines. This policy is explained at drop-off to ensure transparency.We even recommended another scrap yard in Perth that does accept and pay for white goods, but understand you chose not to travel there. Our goal is always to be helpful and transparent, even when we’re unable to purchase certain items.Customer experience is very important to us, and we’re sorry this visit didn’t meet your expectations.Regards,The Runabout Metals Team

I get scrap metal at work - inconvenient stuff like small lead acid batteries, mixed metal motors, and a mix of rather small steel and aluminium brackets. Not exactly prime stuff in the scrap metal industry.

They take it off my hands, they pay me for it, and they're always positive to deal with.
