The difference we deliver
A long established local service
We've been doing this since 1948. That gives you a steady pair of hands when you're not sure what to do with household scrap.
Easy drop-offs and collection options
You can bring scrap to our site without an appointment. We can also arrange collection through R A Bowers Ltd, subject to location, quantity and metal type.
Clear payment without the fuss
We pay by cheque or bank transfer rather than cash. That keeps everything straightforward and avoids extra fees.
A straightforward way to clear household scrap
Domestic scrap soon piles up when you've got an old battery in the garage, a worn out sink in the shed, or cable left over from a job at home. We accept a wide range of household metal at R A Bowers Ltd in Poole, including copper cylinders, brass taps, lead, aluminium, iron and stainless steel items. You can also bring in awkward pieces such as alloy wheels, fridges, freezers and television sets, which saves you trying to work out where they should go. Because we're licensed waste carriers, we handle your scrap responsibly and recycle as much as possible. If you're dropping off at our site, we'll help you unload your vehicle, so the whole thing feels less like a chore. We've been collecting and receiving domestic scrap since 1948, and that kind of experience matters when you want the job sorted properly.
What you can bring and how payment works
Old pre decimal coins, PVC or electrical wire, car batteries and copper piping are all materials we regularly receive. We also take motor vehicles and alloy wheels with or without tyres, which is useful when bulky metal is taking up room outside your home. Payment for scrap metal is not made in cash, and we pay promptly by cheque or bank transfer with no extra fees. That keeps the process clear and compliant from the start. If you're unsure about a particular item, call us and we'll tell you if it's suitable before you set off.
Why proper scrap recycling matters
Clearing domestic metal properly frees up valuable space and keeps heavy or awkward items out of your way. Recycling also means useful materials can go back into circulation instead of being wasted. In Poole, plenty of homes end up with mixed scrap after repairs, clear-outs or appliance replacements. We make that easier to deal with by keeping the process practical, fair and well organised.
