Frequently asked questions

How much is scrap metal worth?

It depends on the metal. In August 2026 the average UK export value was £8,142 a tonne for copper scrap, £6,424 for brass, £1,872 for aluminium and £279 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 £8.14 per kg in August 2026, which is £8,142 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?

Fill in the Get offers form with the material, roughly how much there is and where it is. It is free, you do not need an account, and your listing is published straight away.

Does it cost anything?

No. Listing is free for sellers, and buyers and waste carriers register free to see every listing and ask for the contact details. We take no cut of what you sell.

How do I cancel my subscription?

If you took out a paid plan before October 2026, you can cancel at any time on our subscription page: enter the email address you registered with and Stripe, our payment provider, will email you a secure link. Listing and browsing are now free for everyone.
