Scrap Metal Yard for Hitchin
Dating back to at least the seventh century and mentioned in the Domesday Book, Hitchin is a historic market town that is now home to over 35000 people.

While not as industrial as some of the neighbouring towns, Hitchin supports a population of tradespeople and business owners. From mechanics and builders to homeowners, Hitchin residents can access a dependable route to recycle metal responsibly.
Just a few miles away in Biggleswade, Kas Metal provides fair payments for Hitchin scrap metal.
