Yes, we provide nationwide service across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Our main yard is based in Luton, Bedfordshire, but our collection network covers the full UK. We also export internationally to over 9 countries.

Our prices are based on live international metal market rates (LME — London Metal Exchange) and the specific grade and condition of your material. We offer transparent, market-rate pricing without hidden fees. Prices on our Local Yard page are updated regularly — contact us for the most current export or bulk pricing.

Under UK Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, we are required to verify the identity of all sellers. You will need a valid photo ID (passport or driving licence) and proof of address (utility bill or bank statement dated within 3 months). Payment cannot be made in cash — we pay via bank transfer only.

We welcome both individual sellers and businesses at our Luton yard. For collections, we primarily service commercial and industrial clients with minimum volumes, but please contact us to discuss your specific situation and we’ll advise on the best approach.
