💷 Getting Paid for Your Scrap
We offer highly competitive prices, calculated based on the weight, grade, and current global metal markets. Once your metal is weighed and valued, we make fast, secure, same-day payments directly to your bank for a smooth, contact-free experience.
If you’re a new customer, please bring photo ID and proof of address — these are required by law for all scrap metal transactions. Rest assured, as a long-established company, we take data protection seriously and have robust systems in place to keep your information safe.
After registering with us, head to the clearly marked areas of the yard to weigh in your material — Ferrous, Non-Ferrous, or Scrap Vehicles.
Ferrous metals contain iron and can be identified easily with a magnet — if it sticks, it’s ferrous.
Non-ferrous metals include copper, brass, aluminium, lead, and other valuable materials that don’t contain iron.
