We provide a standard 240L wheelie bin that’s ideal for collecting a mix of cables and scrap metals. It’s large enough for trade jobs yet compact for easy storage.

Do I need to pay anything upfront?

No upfront fees or hidden charges. You simply earn money for the metal you recycle – we only profit from the materials we responsibly process.

No worries! You don’t need to be present when we collect your bin. Just ensure it’s accessible, and our team will handle everything while keeping you updated.

How do I get paid?

We pay directly and securely through BACS transfer within a short time of collection. You’ll also receive a full record of your materials and payment details.

What materials do you accept?

We accept most non-ferrous metals including copper, brass, aluminium, and waste cables. If you’re unsure about a material, just ask our support team before collection.

How environmentally friendly is your service?

We’re committed to sustainability. Every collection ensures that metals are reused or recycled, keeping waste out of landfills and supporting Scotland’s circular economy.
