Frequently asked questions

Do you provide bins for scrap metal on construction sites?

Yes. We offer a variety of container options to suit your site requirements. For small workshops or renovations, we provide skip bins. For major industrial or demolition projects, we supply high-capacity roll-on/roll-off containers. Our logistics team ensures timely delivery and collection, preventing site congestion and ensuring that your metal waste is handled professionally and safely throughout the project.

For major demolition projects, we deploy heavy-duty equipment including flatbed trucks and crane trucks to remove large structural steel beams and bulky metal components. Our experienced team coordinates with site managers to provide efficient, safe removals that align with project timelines. We manage the entire process, from on-site collection to specialised sorting and delivery to certified reprocessors.

 

Scrap metal represents significant value, and rebates are often available depending on the type, quality, and volume of the material. Non-ferrous metals like copper and aluminium generally command higher prices. We provide transparent reporting on weights and material types, ensuring you receive a fair return. Contact our team for an assessment and current market-based pricing for your scrap.

To maximise value and efficiency, we recommend segregating different types of metal, such as keeping copper separate from steel. Ensure that metal is free from excessive contaminants like wood, plastic, or general waste. For large items, ensure they are accessible for our trucks. Our team can provide site-specific advice on the best storage and segregation methods during an initial audit.

Absolutely. We specialise in managing metal by-products from manufacturing, including machine shop turnings, off-cuts, and punchings. We provide tailored collection schedules that fit your production cycles, ensuring waste does not accumulate on the factory floor. Our efficient handling and processing help manufacturers reduce disposal costs while capturing the maximum value from their industrial metal waste.
