Metal Recycling in Portsmouth, Havant & Wider Hampshire | Archimedes Metals Ltd
Our Portsmouth scrap yard collects and recycles both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, paying top prices to customers positioned all throughout Hampshire – including in busy nearby towns like Denmead, Gosport, Fareham, Havant and Waterlooville. We’ve invested in the most sophisticated weighing and grading equipment out there to ensure that whatever it is you’re looking to get rid of, you’ll get every penny owed you. Whether you have a small load of scrap copper following a re-wiring job, or a large mixed consignment of scrap lead and scrap brass, Archimedes Metals Ltd wants to hear from you.
With a well-maintained fleet of powerful grab vehicles, we can quickly de-clutter and clear commercial and industrial sites, arranging scrap metal collection at a time convenient for you. We’ll then take said scrap for sorting and grading. It will then be crushed and prepared for metal recycling. Once complete, we have a new product ready to re-enter manufacturing cycles.
Another option is we provide you with a skip which sits on your site until full, allowing you to slowly accrue scrap metal at a pace that suits the project at hand. We’ll simply collect it once full, and replace it with another empty receptacle if you require it.
We’re a licenced waste carrier that works closely with Portsmouth Council to keep the area free of excess scrap. We’ve also partnered with a number of fellow metal recycling businesses around Portsmouth, Denmead, Gosport, Fareham, Havant and Waterlooville. This means we’re able to ensure both processed and unprocessed scrap metal heads onto the most appropriate and effective next destination.
The Importance of Metal Recycling
Scrap metal recycling is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it helps conserve natural resources, as using recycled metal requires much less energy and raw materials compared to mining and extracting new metal. Additionally, scrap metal recycling reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills in and around Portsmouth, Denmead, Gosport, Fareham, Havant and Waterlooville. This means a scrap metal merchant like Archimedes, and all its customers, are actively helping mitigate pollution and greenhouse gas emissions associated with metal production.
Then there’s the fact that every scrap yard, scrap metal merchant and business in the wider metal recycling industry helps stimulate the economy. There are always job opportunities available, helping the local community as well as strengthening the wider national picture. A strong, healthy domestic scrap metal recycling industry also reduces the reliance on importing metal from other countries.
