Built different, delivered better
Trade focused from the start
We understand the kind of scrap that builds up on active jobs. That means quicker sorting and a smoother handover when you arrive.
Flexible around your workload
You can bring scrap to us when it suits your day. We can also arrange collections for larger or regular volumes.
Long established local support
We've been serving Poole since 1948 with a family-run approach. R A Bowers Ltd gives you a dependable place to recycle trade metal without fuss.
Turn waste metal into working value
Trade scrap metal recycling helps you recover money from materials that would otherwise sit in a van, clutter a site or cost you to dispose of. We buy copper, brass, lead, aluminium and other scrap metals from trade customers, with every load weighed accurately and valued against current market prices. If you're stripping out copper pipe, lifting roof lead or removing old consumer units, we make it easier to turn that waste into a return. We've supported trades across Poole for more than 75 years, and R A Bowers Ltd still keeps the process straightforward from start to finish. You can drop material off at our yard or speak to us about collection if your business produces larger volumes. That means less hassle on busy jobs and a cleaner, more organised way to handle scrap across Dorset.
A practical service for busy trades
Our team can identify different grades of metal, which matters when mixed loads include items that carry different values. Bright copper wire, brass fittings, stainless steel parts and heating equipment all need proper sorting if you want the right price. We regularly help plumbers, electricians, roofers and contractors who clear metal during refurbishments and construction work. Fast unloading at our Poole yard keeps your day moving instead of leaving you stuck in a queue. If collection suits your schedule better, we can arrange one off or regular pickups for qualifying trade customers.
Why proper recycling makes a difference
Keeping scrap metal separate on site can save you time when jobs wrap up and help you avoid paying for general waste disposal. Recycling valuable metals also puts those materials back into use instead of sending them to landfill. Our collection and drop off options give you a practical way to keep work areas tidier and vehicles clearer. We handle trade scrap with a straightforward approach that helps you stay focused on the next job.
