WB Phillips Metals helps trades, contractors, workshops and businesses recycle ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal across Kent and Medway.
Manageable non-ferrous loads can be brought directly to our Chatham yard for weighing and same-day cashless payment. Ferrous scrap is handled by collection, and we also arrange bulk or regular trade and business collections across Kent.
If you are unsure what you have, send us clear photographs, your postcode and an approximate quantity and we can advise on the most practical next step.
Commercial scrap metal services
Whether you have a one-off clearance or metal building up regularly through your work, we can help you find a practical recycling route.
Regular scrap arrangements
For businesses and trades generating recyclable metal on an ongoing basis. Skips or builders bags can be provided for suitable bulk or regular collections.
Site and workshop clearances
Suitable larger metal loads from workshops, units, commercial premises and refurbishment projects.
Non-ferrous yard drop-off
Bring manageable non-ferrous commercial and trade scrap directly to our Chatham scrap metal yard. Ferrous scrap is collected rather than accepted as a yard drop-off.
Who we work with
WB Phillips Metals handles enquiries from builders and construction companies, electricians, plumbers and heating engineers, engineering and fabrication businesses, maintenance contractors, demolition and strip-out contractors, workshops and garages, and property or facilities companies.
The right option depends on what metal you have, how much there is and where it is located.
Planning a larger or seasonal clearance? See our guide to business scrap clear-outs for practical preparation advice.
Commercial metals we buy
We recycle a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous commercial scrap. Non-ferrous metals such as copper, brass, aluminium, lead, stainless steel, zinc, cable and electrical wiring can be brought to our Chatham yard. Ferrous metals such as steel and iron are handled through our collection service.
For cable and wiring specifically, see our cable recycling service.
Collection or yard drop-off?
For manageable non-ferrous trade and business loads, bringing the metal directly to our Chatham yard can often be the simplest option. Ferrous scrap is handled by collection.
Our weigh and pay service explains how scrap is weighed, graded and paid for.
For ferrous, larger, heavier, awkward or commercial loads, see our scrap metal collection service. We can provide skips or builders bags for suitable bulk or regular trade and business collections. Household collections are also available — contact us to discuss the load.
For collections, we provide the relevant waste-transfer and duty-of-care paperwork, including waste transfer notes.
