Frequently Asked Questions

HOW DO I SELL MY METAL TO YOU?

We welcome all customers, whether you are a business or member of the public. You don’t need an appointment to visit our yards, just call in.  If you have larger volumes of metal and are interested in finding out about our collection service, just give us a call.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FERROUS AND NON-FERROUS METALS?

Ferrous metals contain iron and non-ferrous metals do not. Non-ferrous metals are rarer, more valuable and resistant to corrosion, than ferrous metals. Ferrous and non-ferrous metals are both recyclable. Magnetising the iron in ferrous metals can separate ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Prices can change daily, so please get in touch with us for an up-to-date price. Prices depend on the type of metal and other conditions, including:

  • Market Price
