How it works
- STEP 1
Send photographs
Snap the metal disposal at your Perry Barr 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 Perry Barr. 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 Perry Barr 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.
- 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
- Waste type — recycling routes are cheaper than general disposal

Metal Disposal FAQs
Do I get paid for scrap metal?
For most domestic volumes in Perry Barr 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.
Why do you ask for photographs?
Because guessing is how customers get stung. Photographs let us size the Perry Barr vehicle, crew and disposal route correctly, so the price we quote for your metal disposal is the price you pay.
What happens to the waste after collection?
It goes to a licensed transfer station where it is separated. Recoverable material from Perry Barr collections is recycled, and only the residual fraction goes to final disposal.
Do I need to be there?
Not always. If the metal disposal is accessible from outside at the Perry Barr property, we can collect with photographs, written instructions and payment agreed in advance.
Is this cheaper than hiring a skip in Perry Barr?
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 Perry Barr, a wait-and-load collection usually wins on both price and speed.
Are you a licensed waste carrier?
Yes. Every Perry Barr 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.
Which Perry Barr postcodes do you cover for metal disposal?
Yes. Our metal disposal covers the whole of Perry Barr, including the B42 postcode district around the town centre and the surrounding area. We also collect from neighbouring Great Barr (1.7 miles), Lozells (1.8 miles) and Kingstanding (1.8 miles) — distances are straight-line from Perry Barr. Send your postcode with photos on WhatsApp and we will confirm the fixed price before booking.

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