Yes, you can pick up your bricks from our yard in Reservoir, VIC; however, there are some key aspects to consider. Each brick weighs about 4kg, therefore a pallet of 500 bricks weighs 2 to 2.5 tonnes. This exceeds the capacity of most ordinary utes and trailers. For quantities greater than one pallet, multiple visits or a vehicle are required.
Please be aware that full payment is required before the bricks can be collected. Payment can be made in cash at our yard or by debit or credit card over the phone. Please keep in mind that all credit card purchases done over the phone will have a 2% surcharge.

All of our reclaimed bricks are hand-cleaned in our yard and put on pallets in batches of 500. Professional brick cleaners thoroughly clean each brick. The nature of repurposed bricks may result in little paint flecks or imperfections between individual bricks. This enhances the bricks’ distinctiveness and character. We do our best to ensure that each pallet of bricks contains only whole bricks appropriate for construction or paving.
All of our recycled bricks are reclaimed from demolished homes and construction sites across Melbourne. They are then hand-cleaned and arranged on pallets according to their hue and quality. While we strive to maintain uniformity within a pallet, there may be minor color or textural differences across bricks. As a result, we cannot guarantee that our bricks will be a perfect match to your current period brickwork.
If you do have existing brickwork that you are trying to match, we invite you to send a photo of your existing bricks to info@thebrickrecyclers.com and we will be able to advise you if we have a suitable product in stock.
