The great thing about scrap metal recycling is that metals can be re-used again and again without compromising their physical properties. And while steel is the most recycled material we accept at our Croydon scrap yard, our scrap metal merchants also purchase aluminium, brass, copper, lead and zinc. We also accept vehicle components such as catalytic converters, starter motors, alternators and alloy wheels, amongst other items. This makes us a one-stop metal recycling solution for clients in nearby areas like Beckenham, Bromley, Crystal Palace, Mitcham and Streatham.

Some quick facts on scrap metal recycling:
Domestic clients positioned in and around Beckenham, Bromley, Crystal Palace, Mitcham and Streatham can bring smaller consignments to our Croydon scrap yard for weighing and grading. Have a larger quantity that might prove difficult to transport? Give us a call to arrange scrap metal collections at a convenient time.
There are two categories when it comes to scrap metal: ferrous and non-ferrous. The former contains elements of carbon, such as carbon steel, alloy steel, and both cast and wrought iron. The latter takes in aluminium, brass, copper, stainless steel and zinc. Then there are precious metals, which are also non-ferrous, such as gold, silver, iridium and palladium.
D Sullivan Metals is well known for its competitive pricing and fast and friendly service, whatever the type of metal you bring to us. In some cases, we process it ourselves, and in others we visit licenced scrap metal recycling partners around Beckenham, Bromley, Croydon, Crystal Palace, Mitcham and Streatham with more advanced facilities.
From start to finish, scrap metal recycling includes:
Once scrap metal has been processed, it is transported to a distributor that ensures the right trades and industries have a steady supply to meet their manufacturing requirements; it may even head overseas. Many metals can be repeatedly recycled without the emergency of impurities.
Some of our clients regularly find themselves with large quantities of scrap metal on their hands. In these situations, we can supply a roll-on/roll-off bin which you can fill at your leisure, perhaps during the course of a domestic or commercial development you’re working on in Croydon or elsewhere in South / South East London. Once full, we’ll dispatch a team to collect it, and replace it with an empty one.
