Mining, Oil & Gas Surplus
The Mining, Oil & Gas Surplus service is for enquiries about surplus materials associated with these industries across Western Australia.
Surplus can include equipment, maintenance spares, redundant metal components and recoverable materials that are no longer required for an operation. It is not automatically the same as demolition waste or a routine scrap load. The first decision is whether the enquiry concerns material purchasing, collection, recovery from an operating site or assistance with removal. Describe the intended outcome rather than assuming every service is included.
Start with an inventory where possible: item descriptions, counts, approximate sizes or weights, known metal composition, photographs and the site or depot location. For operational sites, mention access windows, induction requirements, lifting constraints, contamination concerns and whether items are still installed. Such information allows the team to discuss feasibility and any boundaries before a job is planned.
For drilling consumables and related metals, refer to drill bits and heads, drill pipes and rods and other materials we buy. If the requirement is specifically on-site retrieval, the mining site scrap recovery page explains that separate service category. Confirm what can be accepted and how it can be handled before making removal arrangements.
Understanding This Category
Materials and equipment described as surplus can vary widely. This service is distinct from routine mining scrap collection and the specialised recovery services listed elsewhere on the website.
What to Include in Your Enquiry
Tell the business what material or equipment is available, its approximate amount, condition and site location. Include relevant access or handling requirements when enquiring.
Preparing a Mining or Industrial Surplus List
Surplus can arise when projects finish, equipment is upgraded or stock is no longer required. It may include identifiable metal components, materials from plant maintenance, spare assemblies or other equipment. This category is an enquiry route, not a guarantee that every surplus asset is purchased.
A useful initial list names each material or item, its approximate quantity and condition, any available part numbers and the site or storage location. Note whether components are loose, installed or attached to other materials.
For remote or restricted-access sites, explain access arrangements, loading constraints and any known hazards before discussing collection. If an item involves fluids, electrical systems or heavy components, do not assume the recycling service includes decommissioning or removal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I enquire about a mix of surplus items?
Yes. A simple inventory with separate descriptions helps the team consider the enquiry without assuming that every item is acceptable.
Does surplus mean the business will buy working equipment?
No purchase conditions are guaranteed by the category name. Confirm whether the proposed material fits the business’s scope.
What if the items are at a remote mine?
Provide the site location and access constraints. The team can discuss availability and suitable next steps.
Before You Proceed
Acceptance, purchasing, collection, dismantling and specialised processing should not be assumed for every surplus item. Discuss the appropriate arrangement directly with the team.
