Scrap Metal

Yes scrap metal can be recycled.

RECYCLED
Where?

  • Please take your scrap metal to the Brighton Household Waste & Recycling site on Wilson Avenue or the Hove Household Waste & Recycling site on the Old Shoreham Road. See here for exact locations and opening times. For more details contact City Clean on 01273 292929.
  • If you wish to support us you can bring small amounts of brass & copper to The Green Centre at Brighton Open Market. More details here. We will weigh it in and the funds raised will go towards our volunteer costs.
  • Alternatively you can weigh it in yourself at a local scrap metal company. You will need to contact them first to discuss arrangements. The Green Centre uses 2 different local companies;
    • Argyle Metals Ltd which is a family run company. Their number is 01273 680559.
    • Geo.E.Richardson & Sons Ltd. Their number is 01273 570246.

    • aluminium
    • brass
    • chrome

    • ferrous metal

DID YOU KNOW?

  • If you test your metal with a magnet and it is magnetic it is ferrous metal and worth very little BUT non-magnetic metal is worth significantly more.
  • Metal recycling conserves natural resources by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and using less energy than making metal from virgin ore.
  • Using scrap metal in lieu of virgin ore generates 97% less mining waste and uses 40% less water.
