How it works
- STEP 1
Send photographs
Snap the metal disposal at your Alexandria address and send it on WhatsApp. Photographs are the single biggest factor in quote accuracy — the more you send, the tighter the fixed price.
- STEP 2
Receive a fixed price
We assess volume, weight and access, then confirm a written figure covering the agreed labour, transport and disposal requirements for your collection in Alexandria. Any change in scope is discussed before work continues.
- STEP 3
Choose your slot
Same-day, next-day, weekend and evening windows are offered subject to vehicle availability. You get a confirmed window rather than an all-day wait.
- STEP 4
We load and clear
The crew arrives with the correct vehicle, loads everything by hand, and sweeps up. The collected metal disposal from Alexandria is weighed and documented at a licensed facility afterwards.
What affects the price
Metal Disposal starts from £95. Your fixed price is confirmed once we have seen photographs.
- Waste type — recycling routes are cheaper than general disposal
- Access — stairs, long carries and restricted parking add labour time
- Timing — weekend, evening and emergency slots carry an uplift
- Location — travel beyond the included mileage is charged at the vehicle rate
- Volume — how much of the van the load actually fills
- Weight — dense material such as rubble, soil and concrete costs more at the gate

Metal Disposal FAQs
Do I get paid for scrap metal?
For most domestic volumes in Alexandria the recovery value offsets part of the collection cost rather than producing a payment — the quote already reflects it.
Can you take gas bottles?
No. Pressurised cylinders must go back to the supplier or a licensed handler — they are a genuine explosion risk in a compacted load.
Is this cheaper than hiring a skip in Alexandria?
Frequently. There is no permit to buy, no driveway lost for a week, and you only pay for the space the waste actually occupies. For small and medium metal disposal loads in Alexandria, a wait-and-load collection usually wins on both price and speed.
Are you a licensed waste carrier?
Yes. Every Alexandria collection is carried out by a registered waste carrier and taken to a licensed facility. Waste transfer documentation is issued where duty of care applies.
Can you collect the same day in Alexandria?
Often, yes. Same-day metal disposal in Alexandria depends on vehicle availability at the time you call. If we cannot reach you today we will say so rather than take the booking and let you down.
How much does metal disposal cost in Alexandria?
Metal Disposal in Alexandria starts from £95. The final figure depends on volume, weight and access. Send photographs on WhatsApp and we confirm a fixed price rather than an hourly guess.
Can you handle difficult access?
Yes. Stairs, lifts, long carries, narrow lanes and permit bays are all workable at Alexandria properties — we just need to know in advance so the right crew and vehicle are sent.
Which Alexandria postcodes do you cover for metal disposal?
Yes. Our metal disposal covers the whole of Alexandria, including the G83 postcode district around the town centre and the surrounding area. We also collect from neighbouring Dumbarton (3 miles), Port Glasgow (5.6 miles) and Helensburgh (5.9 miles) — distances are straight-line from Alexandria. Send your postcode with photos on WhatsApp and we will confirm the fixed price before booking.

Moving as well as clearing in Alexandria?
Clearances often sit either side of a move. If you need the furniture that is staying taken to a new address in Alexandria, that is a removals job rather than a waste job — and it is priced separately.
