Give each scrap type the right details
Vehicles clearly described
Condition, mobility and access information support collection planning.
Mixed loads considered
Main material groups and photographs can explain unsorted recyclable scrap.
Cable grouped separately
Insulated cable and copper stay easier to identify away from ordinary steel.
Arrange pickup for metal, vehicles or cable
Different loads need different details, particularly when a whole vehicle, mixed scrap and accumulated cable are involved. We travel to Seaham for on-site scrap collection and recycling. For a vehicle, tell us its condition, location and whether it can roll. A mixed metal load should be described by its main materials and approximate size. For cable, explain whether it is insulated, bundled or fitted with connectors. This information gives us a clear starting point without expecting you to identify every grade yourself.
Choose a pickup position we can reach
Set aside an accessible collection point at your Seaham premises where practical. Make sure the route is clear and explain gates, parking limits or other site restrictions before collection. Photographs are especially useful for non-running vehicles, bulky metal groups and cable stored in containers. Keep copper and cable separate from ordinary steel where this can be done easily. If materials are already mixed, leave them grouped and tell us what the load appears to contain.
Frequently asked questions
What information do you need for a vehicle?
Tell us the vehicle type, condition, location and whether it rolls or can be moved. Explain the space around it and send photographs if it is damaged, incomplete or positioned behind restricted access.
Can you collect a mixed scrap load in Seaham?
Yes, we travel to Seaham for mixed recyclable metal. Describe the main materials, estimated quantity and any large pieces. Keep known copper, cable or aluminium separate where this is practical.
How should accumulated cable be described?
Explain whether the cable is insulated, bundled or loose, and mention plugs, connectors or other fittings. Give an estimated quantity and tell us how it is stored and reached at the collection point.
