How it works
- STEP 1
Send photographs
Snap the metal disposal at your Swanley 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 Swanley. 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 Swanley 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 Swanley 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.
Can you handle difficult access?
Yes. Stairs, lifts, long carries, narrow lanes and permit bays are all workable at Swanley properties — we just need to know in advance so the right crew and vehicle are sent.
Why do you ask for photographs?
Because guessing is how customers get stung. Photographs let us size the Swanley 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 Swanley 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 Swanley property, we can collect with photographs, written instructions and payment agreed in advance.
Is this cheaper than hiring a skip in Swanley?
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 Swanley, a wait-and-load collection usually wins on both price and speed.
Which Swanley postcodes do you cover for metal disposal?
Yes. Our metal disposal covers the whole of Swanley, including the BR8 postcode district around the town centre and the surrounding area. We also collect from neighbouring Orpington (3.4 miles), Dartford (3.8 miles) and Bexley (4 miles) — distances are straight-line from Swanley. Send your postcode with photos on WhatsApp and we will confirm the fixed price before booking.

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