Whitworth Rd, St. Leonards-on-Sea TN37 7PZ — free parking on site
We collect from homes, businesses, yards and commercial sites — we bring the right container, you fill it, we collect
Not sure if we cover you? Call 01424 222288 — we'll let you know straight away.
Depending on your volume and location, we'll bring the right solution:
Man & van collection — any size load, any container
Skip or RoRo drop & exchange — we deliver, you fill it, we swap it out when ready
We buy all grades of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal
We have an XRF metal analyser on site — we can test and grade specialist alloys accurately, so you get the right price every time
We can test titanium, Kovar, specialist alloys and precious metals on the spot. No guessing grades — you get paid accurately for exactly what you've got. Most yards can't offer this.
We supply tonne bags, leave them with you, and collect full bags of stainless swarf on a RoRo. We handle both 304 and 316 grade. Ideal for engineering firms and machine shops generating stainless turning swarf.
Call us to set up a collection agreement and we'll drop bags off at your site.
Transparent, fair pricing — linked to the live market
Our non-ferrous prices follow the London Metal Exchange (LME). The market moves week to week — call us for today's rate before you travel.
Bigger loads mean a better price per tonne. More weight gives us more margin to work with — and we pass that saving back to you.
Sorted, single-grade metal is worth more than mixed loads. A bit of separation before you bring it in will get you a better rate.
If you deal with us regularly, we take note. The more consistently you bring metal in, the better the deal we can offer — we reward loyalty with better prices.
