Why clients choose us
A local yard that's easy to reach
We're based on Rossmore Road in Parkstone, Poole. That gives you a convenient local option when you want scrap metal dealt with properly.
Helpful with small loads and large ones
You might arrive with a boot full from home. Or you may need a solution for ongoing trade or commercial metal, and we can discuss the right route for both.
Longstanding know how you can use
We've been established since 1948, and that experience helps when metals need identifying or pricing sensibly. You get practical guidance without any fuss.
A straightforward way to clear unwanted metal
We handle scrap metal recycling for homes, trades and businesses across Poole, giving you a clear and responsible way to move unwanted metal on. From a few pieces left after a garage clear out to larger loads from renovation work, we help you sort what can be recycled and what happens next. We process ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and we keep things practical with fair pricing and helpful advice. R A Bowers Ltd is based in Parkstone, so you're dealing with a local yard that knows the area and how you want things handled. If you're clearing a property, stripping out old materials or making space on site, recycling metal properly can save hassle and reduce waste. We've been doing this since 1948, and that steady experience still matters when you want a simple answer and an honest service.

Responsible recycling with clear payment options
​Our site works for both small domestic drop-offs and larger commercial quantities, which makes things easier when your load is anything but standard. We hold waste carrier and Environment Agency permissions, and we aim to meet the relevant environmental regulations when processing recyclable metal. Payments for suitable scrap metals are made by cheque or BACS, keeping everything cashless and properly recorded. If you need a value guide first, tell us the type and quantity you have and we'll talk you through it. Around Poole, that kind of straight answer can save you a wasted trip and help you plan the rest of your clearance.
