Scrap iron and steel recycling services
Sims Metal Management is the largest iron and steel recycler operating in the UK with 35 scrap metal operations located throughout England and Wales. We recycle over 400,000 scrap cars each year and pay competitive prices for a wide range of iron and steel scrap such as plant, machinery, cuttings, swarf, girders and trains.
We buy and process all types of ferrous steel scrap including girders, cars, vans, engines and cuttings. We have 24 specialist End of Life Vehicle (ELV) treatment facilities, capable of depolluting vehicles of hazardous waste, before our regional sites use mechanical methods to recycle over 85% of materials from the scrap cars and vans.
Sims pays competitive prices for scrap cast iron, wrought iron, heavy iron and light iron including discs, drums, girders and boilers. We also recycle used rail from approved sources.
We use a variety of shredding, shearing and cutting techniques to dismantle and recycle scrap iron for domestic and international smelters. Sims operates several railway terminals and port facilities, supported by a national road based logistics infrastructure.
If your business requires scrap metal collections we offer one off or regular transportation including bulker, Hiab and flat bed vehicles.
Skips, stillages, Rolonof and other metal waste container storage facilities can be hired for your premises, with collection just a phone call away.
Each Sims scrap metal merchant is licensed and permitted to recycle scrap metals in accordance with UK and European legislation and guidance.
We operate to high standards of health and safety for staff and visitors, with key sites certified to OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Management standards.
