Why Sell Scrap Metal in Sandy?

With 10,000 people employed in the manufacturing sector, alongside 7,000 in construction and 6,000 in wholesale (as of 2021) – Sandy is an industrially active town that needs an eco-friendly way to get rid of its metal waste.

One of the town’s biggest industrial estates, Sand Lane Business Park is testament to the town’s trade activity, home to a range of automotive, joinery and fabrication companies.

A significant amount of scrap metal will be generated as a result of this trade activity, but a landfill is no place for recyclable materials. Not only do landfills damage the environment, but the tax to dispose of your waste there will put a hole in your trade business’ pocket too. That’s why our Sandy scrap yard is here – to help you save on unnecessary costs, make a profit from metal byproducts and follow new, government-enforced recycling guidelines.

How is the Worth of My Sandy Scrap Metal Determined?

Supply and demand is the key driver of Sandy scrap metal prices, but there are a few other factors that can affect them too, such as:

Ferrous vs Non-Ferrous: Non-ferrous metals tend to fetch a higher price at the scrap yard as they are rarer, offer better corrosion resistance and have more versatile properties in comparison to ferrous metals.
Quality & Quantity: Scrap metal is usually priced per unit (e.g. per kilogram) in the UK, which means the heavier your weigh-in at our scrap yard, the higher your final price will be. This does depend on quality too though – pure, uncontaminated (i.e. not mixed) scrap metal is always worth more.
Scrap Yard Location: Rural scrap yards have more additional costs to think about compared to urban ones. But if transport links are strong (e.g. Sandy’s direct rail links to London via the East Coast Main Line), this can hike prices up.
Global Benchmarks: At our Sandy scrap yard, we base all of our scrap metal prices on the world’s primary hub for metal trading, the London Metal Exchange (LME). Keeping rates competitive, they match global buyers and sellers with physical contracts settled in an LME-approved environment.
