Frequently asked questions

Our experienced service teams will deliver your container when you want it and once filled, we will pick it up when it is convenient for you.

Once filled, your business metal recycling will be picked up at a frequency that suits your requirements.

Options include, but are not limited to, daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly.

We can tailor this collection further if you have special requirements.

We have the high-tech equipment and expertise to collect all grades of metal, including:

Ferrous metals

  • Car engines
  • Cast iron
  • Cuttings
  • Heavy machinery
  • Light iron
  • Shearing
  • Stainless steel
  • Steel

Non-ferrous metals

  • Aluminium
  • Armoured cable
  • Brass
  • Copper
  • Lead
  • Zinc

Specialist/miscellaneous metals

  • Platinum
  • Hard drives
  • Mercury
  • Nickel
  • Printed circuit boards
  • Electric motors
  • Mobile phones

Once collected by our specialist trucks, your metal is taken to the local processing plant and using the latest technology, it is separated.

The metal elements are then melted and treated to make new raw materials.

Once completed, the recycled metal is used in the production of a new product.

Metal that cannot be reused or recycled will be disposed of correctly.

The rebates obtained for the material are always passed on to our customers, creating a valuable income stream to go back into your business.

No, if you’re only recycling a small amount of metal from your business, like aluminium cans, then we can collect through our mixed recycling service  — saving you money.
