You've cleared the garage and found three old filing cabinets, a stack of copper piping, and what looks like half a tonne of assorted steel offcuts. Hauling it to a scrap yard yourself means hiring a van, navigating West Midlands traffic, and hoping someone will actually buy it. Professional scrap metal removal in Stirchley takes that friction away: we collect ferrous and non-ferrous materials from your property, handle the paperwork, and ensure it reaches a licensed recycling facility. You get space back and a straightforward process instead of a Saturday chore.
What's Included in Our Scrap Metal Removal
When you book scrap metal removal with us, we collect labour, transport, and licensed disposal in one fee. We'll load ferrous metals (steel, iron), non-ferrous scrap (copper, aluminium, lead, brass), and mixed metal items from your location in Stirchley. If materials are awkwardly positioned—in a shed, upstairs, or stacked under other debris—we'll move them to the vehicle. We sweep the area once collection is complete so you're not left with spillage or dust.
We do not charge extra for basic dismantling (unbolt items, separate mixed metals). However, if an item requires cutting equipment or structural work (e.g. asbestos-containing ducting), we'll confirm that in advance—it's outside standard scrap metal removal scope. All materials are weighed and logged before leaving your site, and you'll receive a waste transfer note for your records. Same-day collection is available in many cases; if you need it sooner, mention that when you call.
Compliance & Where Your Waste Goes
We operate under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 and hold a site licence to handle and process scrap metal. That means we verify the source of materials, keep records, and pay only via cashless methods—no cash transactions. End-of-Life Vehicles Regulations 2003 cover any scrap car parts or components you may have; we dispose of those through authorised depots that recover hazardous fluids and crush vehicles responsibly.
Your scrap is transported by a licensed carrier and delivered to a British Metals Recycling Association (BMRA) member facility or equivalent, where ferrous and non-ferrous metals are separated and sold back into manufacturing supply chains. You'll receive a waste transfer note documenting the collection date, description of materials, weight, and final destination facility. This record protects you legally and proves responsible disposal. We handle the compliance; you don't need to chase it.
Same-Day vs. Scheduled Scrap Metal Removal in Stirchley
Same-day collection works if you call before 2 p.m. on a weekday and our vehicle is already in the area. It suits urgent clearances—a burst water pipe damaged your garage, you're moving house, or a worksite cleanup won't wait. Scheduled removal (2–5 working days ahead) gives us flexibility to batch collections and manage fuel efficiently, so it's typically faster to arrange and more reliable for larger loads.
Weather, vehicle availability, and current job queue affect same-day slots. If you're flexible on timing, offering us a window of 2–3 days keeps costs lower and guarantees a firm slot. Call 07751 979473 to discuss your situation; we'll tell you honestly whether today is possible or recommend the best alternative date.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does scrap metal removal cost in Stirchley?
Cost depends on volume, material type, and accessibility. Small domestic loads (a few filing cabinets, offcuts) typically range from £40–£120.

We quote based on what you describe; call us on 07751 979473 with details and we'll give you a firm price over the phone, with no hidden fees.
Can you do same-day scrap metal removal?
Yes, if you call before 2 p.m. on a weekday and our vehicle is working nearby, same-day collection is often possible. For certainty or larger jobs, scheduling 2–5 days ahead is more reliable. Either way, we'll confirm the exact time window with you before we arrive.
What items can you take away?
We collect ferrous metals (steel, iron), non-ferrous scrap (copper, aluminium, brass, lead), appliance parts, car components, and mixed metal offcuts.

Do you recycle the waste you collect?
Yes. All scrap metal is transported to licensed recycling facilities where ferrous and non-ferrous metals are separated and reprocessed into new materials. We don't landfill metal waste. You'll receive a waste transfer note proving where your materials went.
