Make heavy steel loads easier to manage
Common steel accepted
We collect steel sections, offcuts, components and other iron-bearing scrap.
Heavy items discussed
Dimensions and estimated weights help us understand substantial metal pieces.
Grouped loads stay clear
Separating ferrous material makes collection and later sorting more orderly.
Collect iron and steel-based scrap
Ferrous metal contains iron, with ordinary steel being one of the most familiar examples. We arrange ferrous metal collection in Newcastle upon Tyne for material such as structural pieces, fabrication offcuts, metal equipment and heavy steel components. These loads can become difficult to manage when weight and volume build up. Tell us what produced the scrap, its approximate quantity and the size of any larger pieces. This information helps us distinguish loose offcuts from bulky equipment or sections that need closer planning.
Keep ferrous material grouped together
A magnet may help indicate iron content, while weight, surface corrosion and known material specifications can provide further clues. These signs aren't a substitute for a proper description, so share any labels or markings you have. Keeping ferrous scrap separate from copper, aluminium and other non-ferrous materials makes the load easier to assess and organise. Place grouped metal at an accessible point where possible, and tell us if heavy sections are stored behind restricted access or among items that must remain.
Frequently asked questions
How can I tell if metal is ferrous?
Ferrous metal contains iron and is often magnetic. Ordinary steel is a common example, and surface rust may also provide a clue. If you're unsure, describe the item's use, weight, markings and appearance.
Can you collect heavy steel components?
Yes, heavy steel components can form part of an enquiry. Give us dimensions, estimated weights and photographs where possible. We also need to understand their position and the available route to the collection point.
Should steel be kept apart from other metal?
Yes, separate obvious ferrous metal from copper, aluminium and other non-ferrous materials where practical. Clear grouping supports easier assessment. Tell us if the load is mixed and can't reasonably be separated.
