Metal Recycling


Recycle your metal with us to make it go a lot further and get cash for your metal.

Copper

Copper is a mineral that is found in the Earth’s crust. It is a ductile metal that has high thermal and electrical conduction properties.

For example: hot water cylinders, domestic water piping, stripped electrical wiring, copper spouting

Brass

For example: taps, brass pipe, ornaments.

Alloy

For example: mag wheels, bulk lot of drinking cans, TV aerials, fabricated aluminium items, aluminium chairs, industry off-cuts

Steel

Steel is the most commonly used metal and many of the items you come in contact with every day are made of steel.

Stainless steel

Stainless steel is a ferrous metal
For example: sink benches, industrial equipment particularly in the food industry

Cast iron

For example: farm rollers, bar-b-que hot plates, cast iron stoves, industrial machinery parts.

Lead

Lead enjoys one of the highest recycling rates of all materials in common use today. This is a result of its fundamental properties, good design and the ways in which it is used, which make lead based products easily identifiable and economic to collect and recycle. As a result, over half of the lead produced and used each year throughout the world has been used before in other products. What is more, because lead is a naturally occurring element, the quality of the recycled lead is identical to that of primary metal from mining.

For example: lead weights, lead drain pipes, roof flashings, batteries.
