What Types of Scrap Metal Do We Collect from Factories

At Green Scrap Metal, we make it easy for factories and industrial businesses to turn their metal waste into real value. While we don’t recycle metals ourselves, we buy a wide range of scrap metal directly from factories — offering competitive prices, quick collections, and honest service.

Whether you’re clearing out old equipment, upgrading your production line, or managing daily offcuts, we’re here to make sure your scrap turns into cash — not clutter.

Why Do Factories Sell Scrap Metal?

Factory operations naturally produce metal waste during:

• Manufacturing and fabrication
• Equipment maintenance or replacement
• Construction and renovation projects
• Decommissioning or shutdowns

Instead of letting that material pile up, many factories choose to sell their scrap to reliable buyers like Green Scrap Metal. It’s a simple way to clear space, stay compliant, and boost your bottom line.

Types of Factory Scrap Metal We Buy

We purchase a broad range of industrial metal scrap, including:

1. Ferrous Metals

These metals contain iron and are typically magnetic. We buy:

• Steel – Sheets, beams, and offcuts from production.
• Cast Iron – Old machinery parts, pipework, or heavy components.

2. Non-Ferrous Metals

Non-ferrous scrap is often more valuable. We buy:

• Copper – Wiring, tubing, motors, and cables.
• Aluminium Scrap – Panels, extrusions, and industrial offcuts.
• Brass Scrap – Valves, fittings, and mechanical parts.
• Stainless Steel – Kitchenware, machinery parts, or scrap from fabrication.

3. Obsolete Machinery & Equipment

We buy entire units or parts from decommissioned or outdated:

• Manufacturing machines
• Electric motors and gearboxes
• Pumps, pipes, and metal enclosures

4. Electrical Scrap

We buy electrical materials that contain high metal content, such as:

• Copper wiring and cables
• Circuit breakers and switchboards
• Metal electrical housings

5. Turnings, Swarf & Metal Shavings
