Scrap Metal Dealers West Bromwich

If you’re a tradesperson or business in West Bromwich with scrap copper, brass, lead, aluminium or cables to sell, West Midlands Metals is your closest specialist non-ferrous scrap dealer. Our yard is at 11-12 The Arches, Lawden Road, Birmingham, B10 0AB — approximately 5 miles from West Bromwich town centre via the A41 or the M5 junction 1. The drive takes around 15 minutes in normal traffic.

We’ve been buying non-ferrous metals in Birmingham for over 60 years, and we have a well-established customer base across the Black Country and West Bromwich area — plumbers, roofers, electricians, shopfitters and engineers who make the short trip to Birmingham knowing they’ll get a fair daily price, weighed accurately, and paid by bank transfer the same day.

What We Buy From West Bromwich Customers

We specialise exclusively in non-ferrous metals — which means you always get the specialist price rather than a mixed-metals rate. We buy:

Copper — dry bright wire, clean copper tube, heavy copper tube (98%), braizery copper, copper tanks and all other grades
Brass — clean brass, mixed brass, gun metal and all brass grades
Lead — roofing lead, lead pipe, clean lead and mixed lead
Aluminium — H9 section, aluminium cutts, old rolled aluminium, alloy wheels
Cables — high grade cable, household cable, low grade cable and SWA armoured cable
Stainless steel — 316 stainless and standard stainless steel

All current prices are published daily on our prices page and are based on live London Metal Exchange rates. What you see is what you get — no surprises at the scales.

Why West Bromwich Trades Come to Us

West Bromwich has its own scrap yards, but we consistently hear from customers across the Black Country that they make the short drive to us because of the price, the transparency and the speed. We operate as a specialist non-ferrous dealer — not a general mixed metals yard — which means our buyers know exactly what they’re looking at and pay accordingly. A mixed metals yard paying a blended rate for copper often pays significantly less than a specialist paying the copper rate.

Being fully compliant with the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, fully licensed, and fully insured also matters to tradespersons who need to be able to demonstrate they’ve disposed of scrap metal through a legitimate, registered channel. Every transaction with us comes with a full Waste Transfer Document, which you keep for your records.

Free Collection Service for West Bromwich Trades

If you’d rather not make the trip, our scrap metal collection service covers West Bromwich and the surrounding area. We deliver a free wheelie bin to your site — whether that’s a domestic property you’re working on, a commercial premises or a depot — collect it when it’s full, weigh everything on-site with digital calibrated scales, agree the price with you before we leave, and pay by BACS transfer the same evening between 4pm and 6pm.

This suits plumbers, roofers, electricians and builders who are working across West Bromwich, Oldbury, Wednesbury and the wider Sandwell area and accumulating regular volumes of copper, brass and cable. No yard visits, no loading into vans, no delays — just a bin that gets collected and money in your account.

How to Register and Get Paid

New customers need to register once under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. This takes a few minutes on your first visit. You’ll need:

A photo driving licence (or passport plus a recent utility bill)
Your bank sort code and account number for same-day BACS payment

You can also pre-register online before your first visit to speed things up. Once registered, every subsequent visit is straight in, weighed, agreed and paid — no paperwork to fill out again.
