What sets us apart
Clear advice before you load up
Not every load of metal is the same. We'll explain what we accept and how the process works before you set off.
A long established recycling yard
We've been in this trade since 1948. That experience helps us keep things straightforward and fair when you bring scrap in.
Useful options when time is tight
No appointment is needed, which keeps things moving when you've got a busy day. Free collection may also be available, subject to location, quantity and metal type.
A practical way to clear unwanted metal
Scrap metal recycling gives you a straightforward way to clear unwanted items without sending useful material to waste. We help homeowners, tradespeople and businesses in Ringwood recycle household metal, site scrap and surplus stock responsibly. Our Poole facility handles both non-ferrous and ferrous metals, so you can bring in anything from old radiators to copper offcuts and aluminium pieces.
Fair pricing matters when you're clearing space, and we'll explain what we accept before you make the trip. R A Bowers Ltd has been recycling metal since 1948, which means you deal with people who know the trade and keep things clear. Ringwood customers come to us when they want a sensible route for scrap that saves hassle and supports proper recycling.

Recycling that works for homes, trade and industry
Building work and renovation jobs often leave behind metal that is awkward to store and too valuable to ignore. We process scrap from domestic clear outs, commercial premises and industrial settings, with responsible handling at every stage. If you're unsure what type of metal you have, our team can talk you through common non-ferrous and ferrous materials before you visit.
We can also carry out instant analysis for nickel alloys on site, and in some cases we may be able to visit with a portable analyser. That means you get clearer information on what you're bringing in and how it should be processed.
