Barca Metals

Barca Metals is a family-owned and operated metal recycling business based in Chipping Norton, New South Wales, Australia. Founded in 1995 by brothers Tony and Joe, the company began as a community scrap metal yard on land that had been the family farm since 1961. Starting with only 40 bins and one truck, Barca Metals has grown into an internationally known recycler of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, serving Sydney and surrounding areas. The company accepts a wide range of metals, including steel, copper, brass, aluminium, electric motors, compressors, household metals, white goods, and other metallic items. Its services include supplying scrap metal bins in sizes from 2 to 40 cubic meters, free drop-off with weighbridge access, pick-up services for large volumes, site clean-ups, industrial support for fabrication and sheet metal workshops and demolition sites, destruction certificates for vehicles or scrap items, competitive customised quotes, and plant and equipment disposal using trucks and cranes. In 1999, Barca Metals expanded its market share by purchasing Soma Metals. Today it operates over 400 bins, six trucks, and other state-of-the-art machinery, supplying local markets and exporting internationally. The business remains privately held and family operated, with its headquarters at its original Chipping Norton site.

Barca Metals was established in 1995 by brothers Tony and Joe, who began their metal recycling venture on land that had been the family farm since 1961. The site, located in Chipping Norton, New South Wales, became the home of the family business. The company started as a community scrap metal yard with only 40 bins and one truck. Through years of hard work and determination, the brothers transformed Barca Metals into an internationally known business. A key turning point came in 1999, when Barca Metals expanded its market share by purchasing Soma Metals. This acquisition helped the company grow its operations and customer base. By the 2020s, Barca Metals had grown to operate over 400 bins, six trucks, and many other state-of-the-art machinery. This scale allows the company to supply local markets as well as export internationally. The business remains family owned and operated, recycling ferrous and non-ferrous metals throughout Sydney and surrounding areas for over 25 years.
