What sets us apart
Long standing local knowledge
We've been established since 1948, so this isn't new to us. You get straight answers and a service shaped by decades of hands on work.
Fair payment for all quantities
We buy large and small amounts of scrap metal. That means you can still get value from a modest load instead of leaving it to gather dust.
Practical help with awkward loads
Bulky metal is hard work to shift on your own. We may be able to collect it for you when the load and material are suitable.
Turn unwanted metal into money
Scrap metal recycling is a straightforward way to clear space and get paid for materials you no longer need. We buy a wide range of metals, including copper, brass, bronze, aluminium, lead, nickel alloys, catalytic converter scrap and car batteries. Heavy items can be awkward to move, especially when they're stacked in a yard, left after a job, or taking up room at your premises. We can discuss collection when the quantity and metal type make it suitable, which saves you the hassle of loading and transport. R A Bowers Ltd has been handling scrap metal in Poole since 1948, and we work with both domestic and commercial customers. If you want fair payment without fuss, we make it easier to clear unwanted metal and put cash value back into it.
What we buy and how it works
Our yard handles both non-ferrous and ferrous scrap, along with gunmetal and a broad range of metal alloys. We can carry out instant analysis of nickel alloys on site, and in some cases we may be able to visit you with a portable metal analyser. All collections and deliveries are weighed at our site, giving you a clear basis for payment. We pay by bank transfer or cheque, and self billing is available on request for trade customers.
We aren't able to accept motor vehicles, lithium-ion/gel batteries, fridges, freezers or old television sets.
Why scrap recycling makes sense
Clearing scrap metal can free up valuable room in your home, workshop, yard or site. Recycling also keeps useful materials in circulation, which reduces waste and avoids sending metal to landfill. Prompt collection or drop off can help you keep projects moving without bulky leftovers getting in the way. With R A Bowers Ltd in Poole, you get a practical service that values your metal properly and keeps the process simple.
