Non-ferrous scrap can be brought to our Chatham yard, where it is weighed on calibrated scales and paid for the same day. For suitable collections, we can also weigh metal on site using calibrated portable scales. Ferrous scrap is collected using our lorries rather than accepted as a yard drop-off.
