Identifying non-ferrous scrap metal
Non-ferrous scrap metal types
When we purchase non ferrous scrap metal

The basic rule for identifying non ferrous scrap metal is as follows. Place a magnet onto the surface of the metal in question, if a magnet does not stick to the metal, then it is probably made from a non ferrous metal. There are exceptions to this rule, but generally speaking, this is a great way to quickly determine the type metal you have.

There are many different types of non-ferrous scrap metals, here are some typical examples...

  • Scrap aluminium: sheets, engine blocks, wire, aircraft parts etc.
  • Scrap brass: taps, ornaments, pipe fittings, door knockers etc.
  • Scrap copper: pipes, joints, boiler tanks, ornamental objects, wire of all types etc.
  • Scrap lead: pipes, roofing rolls and flashings, window beading, lead car batteries etc.
  • Scrap stainless steel: taps, sink basins, pipes etc.
  • Scrap zinc: sheets, ornamental objects etc.
  • Scrap gold, rings, chains, bracelets, ornamental object

Under UK law we are required to see proof of identification before any transaction, so, if you are a new customer, please remember to bring your proof of identification, such as a photo-card driving licence or a valid photo passport, we only require this for the first visit to our facility, we do not require identification for return customers.
