01.

Bring your Metal

Our yard is conveniently located in Erith, making it easy to drop off your scrap metal. When you visit, please ensure you bring photographic ID, proof of address, and wear high-vis clothing. This helps us keep the process smooth, safe, and compliant for everyone.

02.

We Weigh on Site

We have a weighbridge facility specially for weighing scrap metal that is eligible for recycling. Your pay-out is determined by the kind of metal you have and the weight of your lot. Our weighbridges are calibrated and highly accurate, guaranteeing precise pricing. You can deliver your own waste metals or we can collect larger loads.

03.

Get Paid

We pay top prices for your metal, but please be aware that we no longer offer cash for scrap – instead we offer instant bank transfer or cheque. As part of new laws set in the scrap metal industry, ID is now required to weigh in your scrap metal. We accept either a picture driving licence or passport & utility bill.

Scrapping my car with ESM was hassle-free from start to finish. They gave me a great price, picked it up the same day, and handled all the paperwork. Highly recommend!

We rely on ESM for regular wait and load collections in the City. Their team is always on time, the 20-yard roll-on roll-off skips are perfect for our metal loads, and the service is second to none. Couldn’t ask for better reliability.
