Why we stand out
Clear advice before you travel
We'll let you know which materials we can accept before you visit. That saves time and helps you sort your load properly.
Long established recycling know how
We've been established since 1948, so this is not new to us. You get practical guidance based on years of handling different metal types.
Useful support for small or large loads
We deal with both public and trade customers, so you don't need a huge quantity to speak to us. If collection is suitable, we can discuss that too.
A straightforward way to recycle unwanted metal
We help you recycle unwanted metal responsibly with a service that keeps usable materials out of waste. From old household items to offcuts from renovation work, we handle scrap from domestic, trade and commercial customers. In Verwood, that matters when you want a clear answer on what can be recycled and what needs sorting first.
We can guide you through ferrous and non-ferrous metals, so you're not left guessing what belongs where. R A Bowers Ltd has been working in metal recycling since 1948, and we keep the process practical and easy to follow. When you contact us from Verwood, we'll talk you through the next step before you set off.

Guidance on the right recycling route
Different metals carry different value, and the type, quantity and current market rate all play a part in what your scrap may be worth. We can advise on material from construction, maintenance and renovation jobs, including scrap that builds up after strip-outs and repair work.
Our site in Parkstone, Poole, weighs collections and deliveries, so there's a clear process from the start. Payment can be made by bank transfer or cheque, and self-billing is available on request. We also offer collection subject to location, quantity and metal type, which can save you a wasted journey.
