Selling scrap: common questions

What ID do I need to sell?

Valid photo ID, such as a passport or photocard driving licence, plus proof of address, such as a recent utility bill or bank statement. We are required by law to verify and keep a record of these details.

How is the price worked out?

From the current market level for the metal, the grade and cleanliness of your material, and its weight. Contact us for today’s price.

Do you collect?

Collection is available for larger loads, subject to quantity and location. Tell us what you have and where it is.

Is there a minimum quantity?

It depends on the material and on whether you need a collection. Call us and describe what you have.

Can individuals sell to you, or only businesses?

Both. Individuals are welcome to sell to us with valid photo ID and proof of address.

Do I need to strip cable before selling it?

No. We buy insulated cable as cable. Only strip it if you can do so safely, and never burn cable to remove insulation.
