Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What's the difference between ferrous and non-ferrous metal?
Ferrous metals contain iron and are usually magnetic, such as steel and iron. Non-ferrous metals, like copper, aluminium, and brass, don’t contain iron and are generally worth more per kilo.
Is stainless steel worth more than regular steel?
Yes, stainless steel typically achieves a higher price than mild or structural steel, due to the nickel and chromium content used in its production.
Do you accept large volumes of ferrous scrap, like from a demolition job?
Yes, we’re well set up for larger volumes and can discuss collection options for sizeable ferrous metal loads from demolition or construction sites.
Do whitegoods count as ferrous metal?
Most whitegoods, such as fridges, washing machines, and ovens, are largely ferrous and are accepted, though items with refrigerant, like fridges, need this safely removed first.
