/ Our Process

From enquiry to settlement. No black boxes.

Every consignment moves through the same five stages. You always know exactly where your material is, what it's been graded as, and what it's worth. Below is the workflow, step by step.

01

Enquiry & Indicative Quote

You email us a short description of what you have — what it is, roughly how much, and photos where possible. We respond within one business day with indicative pricing and the next step. No high-pressure sales calls; just numbers and clarity.

02

Collection or Drop-off

For volume jobs we arrange collection at a confirmed window. Smaller consignments can be dropped off by appointment. From the moment material leaves your custody, the paper trail begins — signed manifests, weights at uplift, and tracked transit.

03

Sort, Weigh, Photograph

On arrival, every consignment is broken down to its grade categories. E-waste is sorted by stream and yield class. Catalytic converters are identified by reference code, photographed, and weighed individually. Data-bearing devices are tagged for separate destruction handling.

04

Assay & Final Pricing

PGM-bearing material is sampled and assayed for platinum, palladium, and rhodium content. E-waste is priced against its grade. You receive an itemised breakdown — line by line, by category, by weight — before any payment is settled.

05

Settlement & Reporting

Payment is settled per the agreed terms. A full closing report — intake documents, photos, weights, assay results, certificates of destruction where applicable — is sent through to close the loop. Everything you'd need for an audit, in one bundle.

What you can expect.
