    Three Steps From Scrap to Payment

    Step 1

    Tell us what you produce. Complete the 60-second form or call us. We quote based on metal type, grade and volume, with prices checked against the market weekly. A member of our purchasing team can perform a site visit if required.

    Step 2

    We supply skips and collect. Choose from skips and stillages sized for your site, from small lockable stillages for high-value offcuts to 40-yard containers. Schedule regular collections around your production cycle or book on demand.

    Step 3

    You get weighed, paid and documented. Every load is weighed on calibrated weighbridges. You receive weighbridge tickets and waste transfer notes for a full audit trail, and payment by BACS within 48 hours of collection.

    We Buy All Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals

    COPPER

    Bright wire, dry bright, braziery, cylinders and cable. Among the highest-value scrap you produce; segregate it and we will pay the grade it deserves.

    STEEL

    Plate, offcuts, turnings, swarf and structural sections, collected in volumes from one tonne upwards.

    STAINLESS STEEL

    304 and 316 grades, solids, turnings and pipework. We grade on collection so you are paid for the alloy content, not a mixed-load rate.

    BRASS

    Fittings, valves, swarf, turnings and mixed brass. Often overlooked in general waste; keep it separate and it becomes a steady revenue line.

    ALUMINIUM

    Extrusions, sheet, cast, swarf and litho. Light but valuable; we supply dedicated stillages so clean grades stay clean.

    LEAD

    Sheet, pipe, flashings and batteries, handled and documented in line with hazardous waste requirements where applicable.

    MIXED AND OTHER

    Not sure what you have? We will identify and grade it for you.

    Prices move with the market. We review what we pay every week so your quote reflects today’s value, not last month’s.

    FAQs

    Is there a minimum volume?

    We collect from one tonne of mixed metal, with no minimum for high-value non-ferrous grades.

    How quickly will I be paid?

    BACS within 48 hours of weighing. Cash payment is not legal for scrap metal in the UK and we never offer it.

    Do you provide waste documentation?

    Yes. Weighbridge tickets and waste transfer notes with every collection, and certificates of destruction where applicable.

    Are the skips really free?

    Yes, supplied and swapped free for regular business customers. One-off clearances are quoted individually.
