  • Small skips are ideal for household items like old appliances.
  • Larger skips suit industrial or construction waste like steel beams and pipes.
• Delivery and collection- Once you book a skip, the company will deliver it to your location. You can fill it with scrap metal at your convenience. After the agreed hire period, the company collects the skip and transports the metal to a recycling facility.
• Recycling process- The scrap metal is sorted and processed for recycling. Ferrous metals (like iron and steel) and non-ferrous metals (such as copper, aluminium, and brass) are separated and sent for reuse.
