Drill Bits Recyclers is Western Australia’s leading expert in tungsten and drill bit recycling.
Drill Bits Recyclers was born from a simple idea, that tungsten and drill bits shouldn’t end up in the bin.
With an extensive background in Metal Recycling but limited in drilling, we started by listening and consulting with some of the biggest names in the industry and digging deep into how scrap was really being handled.
What we found was a massive lack of solution to this omnipresent problem
So we hit the road, visited sites, and built a business around smarter, high-return recycling solutions.

How to Get Started with Scrap Metal Recovery ?
Getting started is simple, and it all begins with knowing what materials you have.
Start by setting aside any used or worn drill bits, tungsten inserts, or industrial tooling.
These items are often made from tungsten carbide, stainless steel, titanium, or nickel alloys all of which carry strong scrap value.
Group items by type or material where possible.
If you’re unsure what something is made of, the fastest way to get clarity is by sending us clear photos through our enquiry form or email.
We’ll help you identify the items and let you know roughly what they’re worth.
From there, we’ll guide you on the next steps, whether it’s drop-off, bin supply, or another option that fits your setup !
Hot tip ! Understanding the basics of metal types can make a big difference when valuing your scrap 😉
