At MetalCycle, we provide specialist electric motor recycling and disposal services for businesses of all sizes across the UK.
Electric motors are made almost entirely of recyclable metal. Inside, you’ll find copper windings, a steel core and shaft, and a housing of cast iron, steel or aluminium. That makes scrap electric motors one of the most valuable mixed-metal waste streams from factories, workshops, plant rooms and maintenance teams.
Whether you’re replacing a few motors or clearing a warehouse of redundant equipment, our nationwide collection service makes motor recycling simple, efficient and fully compliant with UK waste regulations.
Redundant motors take up space, collect oil and dust, and hold valuable metal that is wasted if it goes to landfill or general waste. Copper in particular is expensive to mine and refine, and the windings in electric motor scrap can be recovered and reused again and again without losing quality.
When your business recycles motors with MetalCycle, each metal is separated and returned to the supply chain. That supports a circular economy, cuts your landfill waste and gives you a clear audit trail for your environmental reporting.
AC and DC motors from production lines, conveyors and machinery.
From HVAC systems, plant rooms, water and ventilation equipment.
From vehicles, fleets, garages and plant machinery.
Motor-driven units from refrigeration, air and drive systems.
