Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about this service. If something isn’t covered here, get in touch and we’ll be happy to help.
What should be removed before putting metal in a collection bin?
Removing non-metal attachments helps recyclers process metal faster and avoids contamination issues. Plastics, timber, insulation, rubber and general rubbish commonly cause problems. Draining fluids from machinery parts and keeping sharp edges controlled improves safety during loading. Sorting higher-value metals like copper and aluminium away from mixed scrap can also improve the final result.
Do metal bins take appliances and whitegoods?
Many metal bins accept appliances and whitegoods, provided they are mostly metal. Fridges, freezers and air conditioners may need to have gases or fluids handled according to regulations before collection. Removing non-metal components helps recycling facilities process the load efficiently and avoids contamination issues during transport and sorting.
Can farm scrap and machinery parts be collected in a metal bin?
Metal bins are commonly used for farm scrap including machinery parts, tools, gates and worn equipment. Items should be mostly metal, with rubber, plastic and fluids removed. Because farm scrap can be heavy and irregular in shape, loading evenly helps stay within weight limits and improves collection safety.
Suited to Households, Trades & Rural Properties
Metal waste can pile up quickly, especially on worksites, farms and during property clean-ups. Having a dedicated metal bin on hand keeps materials contained and makes recycling far easier. We supply sturdy skip bins suited to heavy loads and mixed metals, with clear guidance on what can go in. Once the bin is full, we collect it promptly so the area stays safe and clutter-free. Our team processes the metal through approved recycling channels, helping valuable materials stay in use rather than ending up in landfill. It’s a practical option for anyone wanting a cleaner site, fewer trips to the scrap yard and a simpler way to manage metal waste.
