Eco-Friendly and Profitable: How to Earn Money from Scrap Metal
“An idea for the business emerged when I bought my first car. After a week of driving it, I discovered my passion for scrap,” says Tomek, a co-owner of Metal Scrap Ltd.
Together with Slawek, he runs a modern recycling company built on passion, vision, and a deep respect for the environment. For more than eight years, the two have been buying and selling scrap metal and non-ferrous metals in London, growing a small family business into a thriving enterprise.
Why have you decided to set up a business together?
S: ‘We share the same values, follow similar principles, and live by the same work ethics. When you know you’re not alone with your ideas, the motivation is stronger. On top of that, thanks to companies like ours, around 13 million tonnes of metal are recycled in the UK every year.’
T: ‘We’ve created a clear path for growth and consistently pursue our goals. We invest in development while ensuring top-quality customer service.’
What Does METAL SCRAP Ltd Do? What does your business actually involve?
T: ‘In simple terms, we buy and sell scrap metal and non-ferrous metals. Without metal, telephones, computers, tablets, and everyday gadgets wouldn’t exist. Metal is essential for construction, transport, new technologies, and energy.
Sooner or later, every company produces scrap metal. That’s where we step in. We offer fast, free collection from commercial sites, construction projects, and local premises. We buy all types of metal and products containing metal, whether damaged or past their lifetime.’
S: ‘We want to change how people see our industry. Recycling shouldn’t have negative associations. Every day we work to recycle as much as possible. In doing so, we earn money, create jobs, and make the world cleaner. Above all, we guarantee customer service of the highest quality because customers are the foundation of our business.’
You talk a lot about values. What are they in Metal scrap ltd?
S: ‘We constantly improve the quality of our services, listen to customers, and remain flexible in finding solutions. We care about the environment and represent those who refuse to be indifferent to the world we live in.
According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, recycling metal saves up to 75% of energy, reduces air pollution by 86%, and lowers water pollution by 76%. These benefits show why metal recycling in London is vital. We act for the benefit of the environment on behalf of our customers.’
And where did the idea for such a business come from? How It All Began?
T: ‘Well, the first version of the story is that it started when I bought my first car and discovered a passion for scrap (laughs). But the truth is, the idea formed naturally. It grew from a real-world need and an economic opportunity.
We wanted to build a business that helps the planet while giving us financial stability. Knowing we’re doing something good for the world is the best feeling.’
Where do you see METAL SCRAP in two years?
T: ‘We’re working on expanding our fleet of modern vans. To achieve this, we’ve recruited top experts with the knowledge and tools to make it happen. We’ve already outsourced call centre and van management services with GPS tracking. When customers call, our system finds the nearest driver for efficient scrap metal collection.’
S: ‘We’re also collaborating with Team@One on a system to automate processes and deliver even better customer service. With these improvements, we expect more customers and higher turnover.’
Ambitious plans. What should we wish you?
S: ‘Definitely some holiday and more spare time.’
