Scrap Metal Collection Dorking, Leatherhead & Cobham.
We collect scrap metal in Mole Valley & Cobham areas, free in some cases.
No Fee Scrap Metal Collection In The Mole Valley & Cobham Areas.
Why are some scrap metal collections free? Read more below.
As most people will know, some scrap metal has value as the metal can be used to create items again and unlike materials such as plastics, metal requires lots of energy and resources to create more.
However, there are two main types of scrap metal, ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Non-ferrous metals are normally higher value and we will always collect these for free. If you want to know how to identify what type of metal you have, read on, or click here to jump there now.
If my scrap metal is worth money, shouldn't I be selling it?
Unfortunately, not all scrap metal is worth cash and while some of the scrap metal we collect generates some revenue, many other items don't. Unless you have something made of tonnes of metal, such as a car, it's unlikely to be worth your while selling it directly to a scrap yard.
Non-ferrous scrap metal is the only material that we collect free of charge, and all other areas of our waste clearance services are paid for services. Taking more valuable scrap metal away free of charge effectively pays for our time and fuel in collecting it.
Even Free Scrap Collection Requires A Waste Carriers License.
Ensure whoever collects your scrap metal can prove their credentials.
Imagine you ask someone to collect your scrap metal, only for them to decide it's not worth anything to them and they fly-tip it in the countryside. Any items that could be traced back to you could get you in trouble and you may even get a fine.
You should always ask for proof of a waste carrier's license when you get a scrap collection.
Check out our reputation. We've made a good name for ourselves.

We understand that over the years the 'the scrap man' has developed a less than desirable reputation.
We believe that the waste clearance industry should be as reliable and professional as any other service and have spent time and energy in delivering quality customer service and building a great reputation.

Prompt reply to enquiry. Arrived on time. Removed bank of soil by newly intalled pond. Worked hard and left no mess. Pleased with results. There may be cheaper companies but I was impressed with Tony's professionalism and the knowledge that the soil was responsibly dealt including the provision of a Duty Of Care Waste Transfer Note. Recommended it you want a job done properly.

Tony and his team were amazing. I had a big American fridge freezer that could not fit through the doors on our property. Phoning around I was quoted as much as £700 just to remove and place on my drive. Tony came at much more of a reasonable amount and that was for the removal of the fridge included. They were in and out in under 30 minutes with quite a few complexities. Lovely lads too would recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much guys really appreciate your help.

Booked Tony's team in to remove a large garden outbuilding and I can't speak highly enough of them! Comms before was excellent and clear. On the day the guys who turned up phoned to advise of their arrival time, worked hard and methodically, sorting waste as they went and cleaned up after them. I would 100% use Surrey Waste Removal again and highly recommend them!

A brilliant job removing a huge amount of garden waste and tidying up our compost heap.The job: inspect the existing compost area of our garden, identify the amount of garden waste to be removed, assess the means by which the waste would be removed and quote for the cost of doing so. That was all done within a couple of days of our enquiry. We recognised that it would cost quite a lot, but we thought the quotation was fair given the manpower and other resources required.Surrey Waste Removal specialises in house clearance and garden waste clearance. The managing director, Tony Spreckley, communicated very effectively and offered a date for work to be done including the delivery and collection of a skip. He turned up with 2 colleagues on the day and at the time agreed. They were clearly very experienced with this sort of job. They worked very hard clearing the waste and were very friendly, polite and courteous while doing so. They also cleared up carefully afterwards including raking the ground from which the garden waste had been removed leaving everything neat and tidy. Finally, Mr Spreckley provided the appropriate “Duty of Care – Waste Transfer Notes”. This was a heavy job carried out brilliantly well – 5 stars!

I'm very happy to recommend this business to remove your unwanted junk. Tony was very friendly & gave me a call beforehand to confirm their arrival. Junk removed with no fuss & I was handed a Duty of Care - Waste Transfer Note (which no other firm that I've used before has ever done), so I'm confident that my rubbish will be responsibly disposed of.

Pleasure to do business with. Returned call quickly with fair quote. Quick booking and Shaun who collected items was so friendly and helpful. So many places wanted photos beforehand, non refundable deposits, to come view items first! Look I get it lots of people lie and recycling some items might be tricky. But for honest, hard working people who just want a few items removed it feels like you have to do so much work and prove you aren’t lying just to get someone to come and some also quoted ludicrous figures for a chair and few mats! Dealing with Tony who called us back was a far superior experience. He trusted what I was telling him, arranged a prompt collection and did not require an upfront payment. Such an easy, professional and hassle free service. Will definitely be using them again in the future. Thank you!

Surrey Waste Removal came and took away old carpet & underlay from three rooms in our house. The carpet will be shredded & then incinerated, with the energy created going into the national grid! AMAZING! So much better than putting old carpet into landfill. The cost for us was £75 which was less than 5% of the cost of our new carpets. I believe this is a fair price for the excellent service. The company will take away all types of household waste & recycle where possible. I shall definitely be using them again & I highly recommend them.

What types of materials count as 'scrap metal'?
Below we will show you how to identify metals that are usually considered 'scrap' and therefore useful in the reuse and recycle process.Scrap metals are the combination of used metals, metallic materials, and any products containing metal that can be recycled from previous use or production. These include vehicles, building materials, and industrial equipment. They are often sold for their scrap content alone, but they may also contain valuable components within them - for example, some car parts may be worth more than the entire vehicle itself - if it were scrapped as an entire metallic item.
Some scrap metal has a higher market value because it can be reused again and again. For example, an electrician may have old wire and electrical equipment, plumbing companies use copper pipes and brass fixtures, and building firms often have beams of steel that they could give a second chance at life. Some of these can either be directly reused, or easily converted into parts again.
All too often, however, they're just thrown away because there isn't sufficient knowledge of value or how to dispose of scrap metal correctly.
Ferrous and non-ferrous metals
Before recycling any scrap metal, the first important step should be to determine whether the material is ferrous or nonferrous. This is an easy task and requires only a simple tool - a strong magnet. If the object attracts the magnetic field and is therefore considered magnetic, it is likely to be ferrous. If the object is not magnetic, then it is likely be non-ferrous.
Non-ferrous metals include those that don't contain any ferrous metal (such as steel) and are less likely to rust than others.
The most common
Non-ferrous scrap metals for recycling.
Brass | Aluminium | Copper
So what about ferrous metals?
While we can't collect them for free, we can still take them off your hands.If you have ferrous scrap metal in any quantities, we charge a basic call out charge and for certain items, we add an additonal fee per item. Here are a few examples:
Tumble-dryers, washing machines, microwaves and dishwashers are charged at £10 per item + our call out fee.
Our call out fee is based on your location, so please contact us for more accurate pricing.
