Why Dudley Sellers Make the Trip

General scrap yards often pay one “mixed” rate for everything that comes over the weighbridge. We only deal in non-ferrous metals, so we separate your copper, brass, lead, cable and aluminium into the correct grades and pay each one at its own published price. On a van load of mixed plumbing or electrical scrap, that difference is usually worth far more than the fuel.

What We Buy From Dudley Customers

Copper: bright wire, clean and heavy copper tube, mixed copper and cylinders. See copper scrap prices.
Brass & gunmetal: taps, valves, fittings, offcuts and clean or mixed brass. See brass scrap prices.
Lead: roofing lead, flashing and pipe. See lead prices.
Cable: high-grade, household, armoured and data cable.
Aluminium & stainless: extrusions, sheet, cast, alloy wheels and stainless offcuts. See aluminium prices.

The full grade list is on our what we buy page.

Trades and Businesses in the Black Country

Engineering firms, fabricators, plumbers, electricians and roofers across Dudley bring us production offcuts and site scrap every week. If you produce regular volumes, we can supply a bin and collect from you through our trade collection service, so you don’t have to drive in at all.

Get a Better Price: Three Quick Tips

Separate your metals. Clean copper tube is paid at a higher rate than tube with solder, fittings or insulation still attached.
Strip brass fittings off copper where you can. Mixed items are paid at the lower of the two rates.

What to Bring

By law (Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013) scrap can’t be paid for in cash. Bring photo ID, such as a driving licence, plus your bank sort code and account number, and we’ll transfer payment before you leave.
