About Thurlow Metal Recycling

The Thurlow family name has been a trusted figure in the Tasmanian scrap metal industry since 1968.

Thurlow Metal Recycling’s journey began in Launceston, where we established our first operation, and then in 1996 TMR expanded our services by opening a facility in Hobart to cover the entirety of Tasmania.

At Thurlow Metal Recycling, the safety of our clients and staff is our highest priority. We adhere to strict safety protocols and have undergone independent audits to ensure compliance with industry standards. Our commitment to workplace safety is backed by 100% compliance with Occupational Health and Safety regulations, and we hold an EPA licence, reinforcing our dedication to environmental responsibility.

Whether it's industrial, tradie, or household scrap, we are here to provide a transparent, friendly, and professional recycling experience. Contact us today to hear more about what TMR can do for you.
