Non-ferrous scrap

Nine grades, from copper and aluminium through to zinc, tin and magnesium.

What we accept

Copper in tubes, radiators, bare bright wire, busbars, sheets, plates and turnings. Aluminium in extrusion, taint tabor, cans, radiators, sheets, foil, wire, wheels, castings, turnings and profiles. Brass, stainless steel in all grades, bronze and gunmetal, lead, zinc, tin and magnesium.

Kept separate, not mixed

Non-ferrous material is sorted and graded on arrival and loaded grade by grade rather than mixed, because a mixed load is graded on its lowest constituent.

How it is bought

By weight and by grade, confirmed against the material in the yard at the time of enquiry. A lot may be inspected at the yard by arrangement, and photographs and recorded weights are provided on request.
