Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I get cash for scrap metal in the UK?

How much will I get paid for scrap metal?

Your payment depends on several factors. These include the type of metal, your location, the time of year, and the market price. As a result, many small elements influence the final amount. Therefore, always check current rates or contact us for a quick, accurate quote.

What is the most expensive scrap metal?

Copper ranks among the most valuable scrap metals. Its excellent conductivity, corrosion resistance, and high demand drive up its price. For instance, you can discover more top metals in our article, "Top 7 most valuable scrap metals".

What time of year are scrap metal prices the highest?

Scrap metal prices usually rise in spring and summer. Construction, infrastructure, and manufacturing projects boost demand during these seasons. However, prices still vary based on wider market trends and economic conditions. Therefore, stay updated or ask us for advice before selling. You can always check out our social media for latest offers.

What types of scrap metal can I recycle?

You can recycle almost all ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Ferrous metals include carbon steels and stainless steels. In addition, non-ferrous metals, such as aluminium, copper, and brass, are easily recyclable.

Why do scrap metal prices change constantly?

Supply, demand, and production costs drive scrap metal prices. When these factors shift, prices rise or fall. Therefore, the market constantly moves, just like with many other commodities.

Why should I recycle scrap metal?

Mining new metals costs time, money, and natural resources. Moreover, metals are limited. Recycling cuts waste, saves money, and protects the planet. Therefore, you help both your wallet and the environment when you recycle.

What happens to recycled scrap metal?

Factories reuse recycled metal to build new products. For example, recycled scrap goes into construction materials, machinery, cars, and even furniture. By recycling, you save resources and support greener production.

What Our Clients Say?

I’m quite happy with the service. I was moving and needed professional house clearance, and fortunately, the team offered me just that. The price was just right, and everything was handled super quickly. No complaints from me, at least when it comes to their house clearance service. If you’re moving and need some help, rest assured that these guys will help you out.

Great service! To clarify, this company removed all my scrap without a problem. The prices were very fair. Moreover, they were also very nice, so the whole process was quite pleasant. No complaints from me. In short, I definitely recommend them if you’re looking for an easy way to get rid of your scrap metal.

I thought I was stuck with all the leftover cables and wires from my husband’s old electronics collection. Since I didn’t know how to dispose of them safely, I was unsure what to do. Thankfully, they collect wires and cables as part of their metal collection service. The experience has been fantastic. Without a doubt, I highly recommend it!

Really good service! To my surprise, they came and collected everything within a couple of hours in Cheshunt. Even better, they paid me within another hour directly to my bank account. Not to mention, I got a good price too. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

They gave me the best rubbish removal service I could expect. The team was very professional and friendly. More importantly, they transported everything I asked for in a very short time. I will definitely call them again.

I collected a sizeable pile of metal but had no idea how to dispose of it. At that moment, I realised it was time to call a professional. I found one and got exactly what I expected. Fast service, a pleasant attitude, and fair prices. As a result, they are a specialist I truly trust.

After the bathroom refurbishment, I had a bunch of copper pipes that I had no idea how to deal with. Luckily, I found them, and I’m glad I did. Without hesitation, I can say they’re a reliable expert in scrap metal collection. For this reason, I can’t recommend them enough.

I received my money, as promised. Most importantly, fair prices were paid. On top of that, the staff was really helpful. All scrap was taken in one go, and it didn’t take too long. I truly appreciate it, guys!
