Being the world’s largest metal recycler helps Sims Metal Management bring wide ranging expertise to metal recycling in the UK. We specialise in advanced mechanised processing plants including one of the world’s largest shredders and a specialist dense media separation plant for recovering and separating non ferrous metals and plastics.

The emphasis on advanced machine sorting of industrial, consumer and vehicle scrap metal means that Sims Metal Management can deliver high metal recovery rates meaning a better return and competitive pricing for our customers.  

Our network of feeder yards supplies our larger processing sites with a regular supply of scrap material.  Customers can take their scrap to the nearest of over 35 scrap yards or take advantage of our extensive transport network including skip hire.

Sims Metal Management pays competitive prices for ferrous and non ferrous scrap metal, scrap cars and other vehicles, drosses, skimmings, filings, turnings, waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and redundant machinery. We sell recycled metal including many grades of fragmented furnace feed, non ferrous metals, low chemistry bale and clean cut ferrous scrap.

We have specialist expertise in industrial and factory clearance, onsite management of scrap metal for large enterprises and can offer total waste management services.  Sims Metal Management’s Dense Media Plant uses leading technology to maximise the yield of non-ferrous metals from shredded materials, again allowing for competitive rates on processing.
