Why Scrap Metal Recycling Matters
London is one of the busiest cities in the world — and with that comes enormous amounts of waste. Metals from household appliances, old machinery, construction projects, and vehicles can either end up in landfill or be given a second life through recycling.
At London Metal Recycling, we’ve been helping individuals and businesses recycle responsibly for over 40 years. Our Wembley-based facility handles hundreds of tonnes of metal every week, ensuring it’s repurposed in ways that support sustainability.
How Recycling Metal Helps the Planet
- Conserves Resources
Metals like steel, copper, and aluminium can be recycled infinitely without losing quality. Recycling reduces the need for mining, which destroys habitats and uses vast amounts of energy. - Energy Efficiency
Producing aluminium from recycled material, for example, saves 95% more energy than producing it from raw bauxite. Every recycled load reduces carbon emissions. - Reducing Landfill Waste
Metal waste can take centuries to decompose. By choosing recycling, you prevent long-term soil and water contamination. - Supporting the Circular Economy
When you recycle with us, your old pipes, frames, and equipment are turned into raw materials used in construction, automotive, and manufacturing industries.
What Scrap Metals Do We Accept?
- Ferrous metals: Steel, iron
- Non-ferrous metals: Copper, aluminium, brass, stainless steel
- Household items: Appliances, wiring, and old boilers
