Frequently asked questions

How much is scrap metal worth?

It depends on the metal. In July 2026 the average UK export value was £7,728 a tonne for copper scrap, £6,409 for brass, £1,930 for aluminium and £287 for steel. A dealer's offer will be lower, depending on grade and quantity. See the current scrap metal prices.

How much is copper worth per kg?

Refined copper scrap averaged £7.73 per kg in July 2026, which is £7,728 a tonne, based on UK export figures. Dealers pay less than this, and the price depends on the grade.

Can you sell scrap metal for cash?

No. Under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, dealers in England and Wales cannot pay cash for scrap metal. Payment is by bank transfer or cheque, and the dealer must check your identity.

What is a waste transfer note?

It is the record of a transfer of non hazardous waste between two businesses. It describes the waste and names both parties, and each must keep a copy for two years.

Do I need a waste carriers licence?

If your business transports waste, including its own, it normally needs to register as a waste carrier. In England you register with the Environment Agency. If someone else collects your waste, check that they are registered.

Do you buy or collect recyclable waste?

No. We are a marketplace, so we do not buy or collect material ourselves. You list what you have, and buyers and carriers contact you.

How do I list my recyclable materials?

Register, then fill in the listing form with a photo, a description and your location. Your listing is published straight away.

How do I cancel my subscription?

You can cancel at any time. Use the link in your account to manage or cancel your subscription.
