Scrap Metal Collection in Southampton

Same-day scrap metal collection across Southampton, from Shirley to Woolston, Portswood to Millbrook. Weighed on site, paid on the spot.

Local coverage

Southampton scrap metal, collected.

Southampton is our home. Scrap metal collection in Southampton is the job we do most days of the week: domestic customers clearing a garage, plumbers moving a pile of copper pipe from a job in Portswood, landlords stripping a flat in Shirley, building sites in the city centre generating skip-loads of offcuts. No driving across the city to a scrap yard, no queuing, no loading your car. You call, we collect, usually the same day.

We work every SO postcode, from the SO14 city core out to the SO19 east-end, and everything between. Whether you're on the docks side, up on the common, out near the university, or down by the water in Woolston, we know the streets, the parking, and which jobs need a flatbed versus a Luton. That's twenty years as a Southampton scrap metal dealer and metal recycling service, not a postcode lookup.

Collection is free in every SO postcode. We weigh everything on a calibrated scale in front of you, pay you by bank transfer on the spot as the law requires, and leave you a waste transfer note for your records. No hidden deductions, no "we'll settle up later." One visit, one price, done.

Twenty years on Southampton's roads. You'll get the same collector twice if you use us twice, and we know which streets in Shirley you can't get a flatbed down.

Districts & suburbs

Areas of Southampton we cover

We collect from every district in the city. From scrap cars in Bitterne to metal recycling pickups in Millbrook, same-day is usually available anywhere inside the SO postcodes.

Shirley & Freemantle

High-density Victorian terraces. Plenty of renovation copper, old boilers and cast-iron radiators coming out of boiler swaps and kitchen strip-outs.

Portswood & Highfield

Student HMO country and a steady stream of trade calls from plumbers and electricians working the university rental stock.

Bitterne & Woolston

East of the Itchen. We cover Bitterne Park, Bitterne Manor, Sholing and Woolston. Both sides of the bridge, no extra charge.

Millbrook & Redbridge

Industrial estates along Millbrook Road West and the Redbridge Trading Estate generate regular commercial scrap. We handle trade accounts and one-off site clearances.

Bassett & Swaythling

Quieter residential streets north of the common. Big garages, long-term clearances, the kind of job that's been on the list for years.

City Centre & Ocean Village

Commercial and mixed-use. We handle loading bay access, one-way streets and permit zones without a fuss.

Weston & Thornhill

East-end residential. Plumbers, landlords, garage clearances: our regular run through the east side of the city.

Non-ferrous scrap metals including copper, brass, lead and aluminium

Questions

Scrap metal in Southampton, answered.

Straight answers to the questions we get most from Southampton customers. Anything else, call us.

We're mobile scrap metal dealers and merchants covering every SO postcode in Southampton. You don't need to drive to a yard; we come to your address, weigh on site, and pay by bank transfer on the day. Call 02381 224 048 or WhatsApp a photo and we'll give you a straight price.

No walk-in yard. We're a mobile service. Book a collection and we drive to your Southampton address with the flatbed, a calibrated scale, and the paperwork. Car salvage yards and scrap yards are a drive and a queue; we're a phone call.

Yes. We hold a Scrap Metal Dealer's Licence issued by Southampton City Council and a Waste Carrier's Licence registered with the Environment Agency. Every collection comes with a waste transfer note for your records, and every payment is by bank transfer as the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 requires.

Scrap metal prices in Southampton track the live London Metal Exchange rate, not a fixed list. Copper, brass, lead and aluminium change daily. Ferrous (steel, iron) is more stable. Send a photo on WhatsApp and we'll give you a current price before we drive out.

Same-day collection is usually available anywhere inside the SO postcodes if you call before lunchtime. Next-day is almost always possible. For large clearances or factory strip-outs we'll book in a specific slot that works for your site.
