01

Scrap Cars, Vans, Trucks & Machinery

We buy scrap cars, vans, trucks, forklifts, agricultural machinery and plant equipment, anything and everything considered.

Prices depend on make, model, weight and condition. We pay between £150 and £1,000 for most scrap cars and vans. For larger vehicles, plant and machinery, call or WhatsApp us for a quote.

We arrange collection and handle all the paperwork.

Factory & Warehouse Strip-Outs

Relocating, downsizing or closing a site? First Call Metal Recycling carries out full factory and warehouse strip-outs across Hampshire and the surrounding area.

We strip and remove all scrap metal from the site: machinery, racking, cable, pipework, structural steel, and pay you for the metal value where it applies. One team, one visit, site cleared.

This is a job that requires planning and logistics. Call us to discuss your requirements and we'll give you a straightforward assessment and price.

Scrap Metal Collection

We collect all types of scrap metal from domestic and commercial customers across Southampton and Hampshire.

Got old radiators from a boiler swap? A pile of offcuts from a renovation? A shed full of metal you've been meaning to deal with for three years? That's exactly what we're here for.

Same-day and next-day slots available. We come to you. No loading your car, no queuing at a yard, no wasted afternoons. You call, we collect, and it's gone.

Not sure if it's worth calling? It probably is. Send us a photo on WhatsApp and we'll tell you straight.

Circuit Boards, Computer & Telecoms Waste

Most collectors won't touch e-waste. We will.

We buy circuit boards, computer equipment, telecoms waste and all forms of electronic scrap. Whether it's a handful of old boards from a workshop or a full office or data centre clearance, we'll assess what you've got and pay you for the recoverable metal content.

Call or WhatsApp to discuss your e-waste and we'll give you a straightforward price.

05

Mobile Weigh & Pay

Here's how most scrap metal complaints start: someone agrees a price over the phone, and it changes when the collector arrives.

We do it differently.

Your metal is weighed on site using calibrated scales, in front of you. The price is based on what it weighs and the current market rate. No guesswork, no mystery deductions, no "I'll send the money later."

You see the weight. You agree the price. Payment goes into your bank account before we leave.

That's it. No catches.

Scrap Bins for Sites

If you're running a construction site, factory, or large clearance, scrap builds up fast. Leaving it piled in a corner slows the job down and creates a safety problem.

We deliver scrap bins direct to your site. When they're full, we come and swap them. No chasing, no waiting. Just a regular collection schedule that keeps your site clear.

Bins are available for short-term projects and ongoing contracts. If you need a regular swap on a set schedule, we'll set it up so you never have to think about it.

We Buy All Non-Ferrous Metals and Pay Top Prices

Copper, aluminium, brass, lead, cables, batteries, alloy wheels. We buy it all at competitive rates.

Non-ferrous metals are where the real value is in scrap. A bag of copper pipe from a plumbing job or a box of old cables from a rewire can be worth more than people realise. We pay based on current market rates, weighed accurately on site.

If you're not sure what you've got, send us a photo on WhatsApp and we'll tell you what it is and what it's worth.
