In South London, Air Conditioning Recycling is the core focus of our heavy-duty HVAC decommissioning and recycling service. We specialise in the secure dismantling and responsible recycling of large air conditioning and cooling systems for factories, logistics hubs, data centres, and other busy industrial facilities.

Why South London Industry Chooses London Metal & Recycling Ltd

1. Industrial Focus, Not Domestic

We do not collect small domestic units or household appliances. Our infrastructure is built for volume and weight, enabling us to offer practical support and value on large commercial projects that general scrap collectors cannot handle.

2. Ethical & Environmental Leadership

We are committed to the circular economy. After hazardous elements are removed, we recover valuable non-ferrous metals such as copper, aluminium, brass, and steel, diverting tonnes from landfill and returning raw materials to the manufacturing supply chain.

3. Operational Excellence

Commercial sites demand dependable scheduling. We offer out-of-hours collections (including weekends) to ensure decommissioning work does not interfere with your business productivity or on-site logistics.
