Free scrap metal collection across Bonnyrigg — steel, iron, copper, aluminium, lead and all types of metal collected and recycled. We pay for larger quantities of valuable metals.

Scrap metal accumulates everywhere — old radiators in the garage, a broken boiler waiting for collection, steel offcuts from a building project, copper pipe from a plumbing job, or an old iron gate rusting in the garden. It is heavy, awkward and takes up valuable space.
Taking scrap metal to the recycling centre yourself means loading heavy, sharp items into your car, potentially scratching paintwork, and making multiple trips. Many Bonnyrigg residents and tradespeople simply leave scrap metal piling up because it is too much hassle to deal with.
