Home / Who we work with / Construction & demolition
Cable, copper pipe, steel, aluminium and lead; we collect metal from main contractors, demolition firms and construction businesses across the UK.
Collections planned around phases, strip-outs and handover dates.
From a single cable drum to a full building demolition.
Collection service available, Mon–Fri.
Metal on site is valuable, but it’s often mixed into general skips, left exposed or cleared in a rush at the end of a phase. Here’s how we deal with the most common issues.
We advise on simple segregation at source, so cable, copper and plant are kept apart and recycled at full value, not paid for as mixed waste.
We book around your phasing and access, including early starts and weekend working windows where needed, so metal removal never holds up the next trade.
Documentation arrives automatically after every collection, ready for your principal contractor, client or reporting.
Clean and segregated waste creates high quality recyclables and opportunities for rebates.
Power, armoured, data and telecoms cable from first fix offcuts and soft strip. See cable recycling.
Copper pipework, cylinders, radiators, brass fittings and valves.
Pumps, motors, compressors, air handling units and switchgear from plant rooms.
Steel beams, rebar, cladding, aluminium window frames, ductwork and roofing lead.

Yes. We work around site access, delivery slots and induction requirements, and plan collections to fit your programme.
Waste transfer notes and a recycling certificate for every collection, showing tonnage and destination.
We collect aluminium, brass, cobalt, copper, lead, magnesium, nickel, metal swarf, titanium, tungsten and zinc, plus cables, electric motors, pumps, compressors, solar inverters, PCBs, precious metals and alloys. If you’re not sure about something, send us a photo and we’ll confirm whether we can collect it.
The metal waste we collect is segregated, processed and recycled where possible. We always look for the most environmentally friendly methods of disposal.
