How Does Metal Valve Recycling Work?
The process of metal valve recycling begins with weighing-in your scrap metal and using the latest in metal analysis systems to determine how much it is worth. The amount you bring and its grade will impact the scrap metal price you receive, as well as the current supply and demand at the point of sale. But, thanks to our LME prices, this will always be the fairest, most accurate, and most competitive price. It is also important to remember that clean, unalloyed, and pure metals are always worth more than contaminated or mixed scrap metal. So, if your metal valves are connected to any plastic counterparts, remove these before you arrive for a better price!
To allow you enough room to safely unload your scrap metal, there will be a designated parking area waiting for you on-site, away from all other vehicles. If you would like to watch your metal valves being weighed-in and graded, there is also a dedicated waiting area so you can watch the process unfold safely.
Once your scrap valves have been accurately weighed and graded, our scrap metal traders will provide you with a compliant weigh-in ticket that details how the price has been decided.
If you’re happy to proceed, you can choose from our wide range of flexible and prompt payment options. These include bank transfers, cheques, or our pre-paid card. If your scrap metal has been brought to us before 4pm, you’ll receive a same-day payment! Can’t get it to us before 4pm? No problem – we’ll simply pay you the following day.
Why Recycle Your Metal Valves?
If you are a plumber, or another type of tradesperson, metal valves are a product you’re likely to come across on a regular basis. But, when you replace old valves for your customers, do you ensure they are disposed of sustainably?
Well, Kas Metal Trading is here to make sure you do! Disposing of scrap metal correctly ensures the waste does not end up in landfill, where it has the chance to pollute the environment. Recycling and re-using metal valves also contributes to the circular economy – protecting our planet from waste and ensuring we are using the Earth’s natural resources responsibly.
Why Replace Your Valves?
Below are some of the reasons you may need to replace your plumbing valves:
- Leaks – If a valve starts leaking, this can waste a significant amount of water.
- Hard to Turn – This is usually a sign of damage or corrosion – the harder it is to turn the valve, the harder it will be to turn the water off if an issue occurs.
- Visual Signs of Corrosion – Corrosion in valves can lead to leaks, valve failure, and other operational issues, e.g. the ball getting stuck inside the valve. Corrosion on a valve usually appears as rust, discolouration, or pitting on the surface of the metal.
- Age of the Valve – If your valves are over 20 years old, it may be time to replace them. General wear & tear via continuous use over the years can lead to a deterioration in the day-to-day performance of the valve.
