How it works
- STEP 1
Send photographs
Snap the metal disposal at your Peterborough 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 Peterborough. 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 Peterborough 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.
- Weight — dense material such as rubble, soil and concrete costs more at the gate
- 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

Metal Disposal FAQs
Do I get paid for scrap metal?
For most domestic volumes in Peterborough 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 Peterborough 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 Peterborough 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 Peterborough property, we can collect with photographs, written instructions and payment agreed in advance.
Is this cheaper than hiring a skip in Peterborough?
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 Peterborough, a wait-and-load collection usually wins on both price and speed.
Are you a licensed waste carrier?
Yes. Every Peterborough 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 Peterborough postcodes do you cover for metal disposal?
Yes. Our metal disposal covers Peterborough and its PE1, PE2, PE3, PE7 and PE4 postcode districts. We also collect from neighbouring Stamford (11 miles), Northampton (36 miles) and Leicester (38 miles) — distances are straight-line from Peterborough. Send your postcode with photos on WhatsApp and we will confirm the fixed price before booking.

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