Scrap metal merchants serving Sittingbourne and Swale

Sittingbourne has a mix of homes, trades, farms, workshops, warehouses and industrial units. Useful metal often builds up after refurbishments, maintenance work, machinery replacement, property clearances and commercial projects.

We recycle ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal, including copper, brass, aluminium, lead, stainless steel, steel, zinc, cable and mixed metal. If you are unsure what you have, send clear photographs and we will help identify the best next step.

Our yard is in Chatham rather than Sittingbourne, so this page is transparent about the journey. For heavier or higher-volume loads, collection may be the more practical option.

Scrap metal prices near Sittingbourne: what affects the value?

The value depends on the metal type, grade, weight, cleanliness, market conditions and whether the load is separated or mixed. Copper, brass, aluminium, lead and clean cable are often worth more than general steel or mixed iron.

Photographs and an approximate quantity can help with initial guidance, but the final assessment depends on the actual metal and weight.

Things that affect the price:

  • Metal type and grade
  • Weight of the load
  • Current market rates
  • Attached waste or contamination
  • Whether the material is sorted
