Our scrap metal collection service covers:
In the UK you can scrap both:
Non-Ferrous (Higher Value): Copper (piping and cable), brass, lead, aluminium (cans and wheels), and stainless steel.
Ferrous: Iron and steel, such as white goods, vehicle shells, and railings.
The main difference is iron content:
Ferrous metals contain iron, are typically magnetic, and are prone to rust (e.g., steel and iron). They are high-volume but lower in value.
Non-ferrous metals do not contain iron, are non-magnetic, and are highly resistant to corrosion (e.g., copper, aluminium, and lead). These are rarer and command much higher prices.
L. Jarvis & Sons Ltd is a long-standing, family-run merchant located in Banbury (OX17 2QY). We pride ourselves on providing transparent pricing, calibrated weighing, and professional customer service.
Absolutely, most metals can be recycled indefinitely without losing their structural integrity.
The easiest and most profitable way is to take it to an authorised scrap metal merchant or recycling facility. For a seamless process, follow these steps:
Separate your metals: Group your items into ferrous (magnetic metals such as iron and steel) and non-ferrous (non-magnetic metals such as copper, brass, and aluminium). Non-ferrous metals typically command a much higher price.
Drop-off or Arrange a Collection: You can deliver the metal directly to a local recycling yard for immediate weighing. If you have a large commercial volume, heavy plant machinery, or a scrap vehicle, you can arrange for a professional container drop-off and collection service.
Bring valid ID: To prevent illegal trading, reputable dealers require photo ID (like a driving license or passport) and proof of address before they can pay you.
Get paid for your scrap metal: Under UK law, scrap metal dealers cannot pay you in physical cash. Payment must be made securely via electronic bank transfer or a valid cheque.
