Frequently Asked Questions

No. Under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, cash payments to scrap metal merchants in England and Wales are illegal. To ensure compliance, we offer instant, secure electronic bank transfers directly into your account before you leave our yard, alongside detailed digital receipts.

UK law requires a valid form of photo ID to sell scrap metal at our yard. We accept a current UK photocard driving licence or a valid passport accompanied by a utility bill or bank statement showing your name and address, dated within the last three months.

A simple way is to use a magnet. Ferrous metals (such as iron and steel) contain iron and are magnetic; they are common but typically have a lower price per tonne. Non-ferrous metals (for example copper, brass, aluminium, and lead) do not contain iron, are non-magnetic, and tend to command higher market prices.

Yes. For local businesses, factories, or large construction sites in Dagenham that generate high volumes of scrap, we can arrange dedicated scrap metal skips or roll-on/roll-off bins. When full, we collect, weigh, and credit your business account promptly.

We focus primarily on pure scrap metals, trade materials, and industrial components. We do not typically accept standard household white goods (such as fridges, freezers, or washing machines) unless part of a pre-arranged commercial clearance, as these often fall under specialist environmental WEEE regulations.
