Built different, delivered better
Advice that saves wasted trips
We confirm suitable materials before you set off. That helps you avoid loading items we can't take.
Fair payment with clear weighing
We weigh metal on site for transparency. You know how the process works before payment is arranged.
Long established local service
We've been established since 1948. That experience helps us keep things organised and straightforward.
Straightforward metal recycling for homes and trade
We handle scrap metal recycling for domestic and commercial customers who need a clear, sensible way to deal with unwanted metal. From household items and renovation waste to larger loads from industrial work, we help you sort what can be accepted before you make the trip. In Christchurch, you may want to clear space without sending useful materials to landfill, and that's where proper recycling matters. We process suitable Non-ferrous and ferrous metals with an approach that keeps things practical and environmentally responsible. You can speak to us about likely values, payment options and what to expect when you arrive. R A Bowers Ltd has been serving the area from Poole since 1948, and we keep the process plain speaking from start to finish.

Clear advice before you load up
Our team can explain the difference between ferrous metals that contain iron and non-ferrous metals such as copper, aluminium and brass. That matters because different materials are handled differently and can carry different values.
If you're clearing a garage, stripping out old fittings, or dealing with scrap from a commercial site, a quick call helps you avoid bringing unsuitable items. We also weigh collections and deliveries on site, which keeps the process transparent. With R A Bowers Ltd, you get practical guidance without the usual guesswork.
