4 Metals

Cast iron, stainless steel, bronze and copper recovered.

Any size

From small circulator pumps to heavy industrial units.

UK-Wide

Collection service available, Mon–Fri.

Nationwide pump collections for business.

At MetalCycle, we provide specialist pump recycling and pump disposal services for businesses of all sizes across the UK.

Industrial and commercial pumps are made mostly of durable, recyclable metals. Casings are usually cast iron or stainless steel, impellers are often bronze, brass or stainless steel, and motor-driven pumps also contain copper windings. That makes scrap pumps a valuable metal waste stream from plant rooms, water treatment sites, construction projects and maintenance teams.

Whether you’re replacing a single booster set or clearing a site of redundant equipment, our nationwide collection service makes pump recycling simple, efficient and fully compliant with UK waste regulations.

Why recycling pumps matters for your business.

Pumps are heavy, awkward to store and often left in plant rooms and yards long after they’ve been replaced. Old pumps hold a lot of recoverable metal, and sending them to general waste wastes it and can breach your duty of care.

When your business recycles scrap pumps with MetalCycle, each unit is dismantled, and the cast iron, stainless steel, bronze and copper are 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.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions.

We recycle water, centrifugal, submersible, borehole, hydraulic, booster and HVAC pumps, along with pump parts such as casings, impellers and pump heads.

Pump casings are usually cast iron or stainless steel, impellers are often bronze, brass or stainless steel, and motor-driven pumps contain copper windings. We separate each metal so it can be recycled properly.

Drain oil from hydraulic pumps and gearboxes, and flush or clean pumps used for sewage, wastewater or chemicals before collection. If that isn’t possible, tell us when you book and we’ll advise on the right way to handle them.
