How it works
- STEP 1
Send photographs
Snap the metal disposal at your Wilstead 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 Wilstead. 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 Wilstead 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.
- 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
- Access — stairs, long carries and restricted parking add labour time

Metal Disposal FAQs
Do I get paid for scrap metal?
For most domestic volumes in Wilstead 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 Wilstead?
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 Wilstead, a wait-and-load collection usually wins on both price and speed.
Are you a licensed waste carrier?
Yes. Every Wilstead 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 Wilstead?
Often, yes. Same-day metal disposal in Wilstead 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 Wilstead?
Metal Disposal in Wilstead 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 Wilstead properties — we just need to know in advance so the right crew and vehicle are sent.
Which Wilstead postcodes do you cover for metal disposal?
Yes. Our metal disposal covers the whole of Wilstead, including the MK45 and MK42 postcode districts around the town centre and the surrounding area. We also collect from neighbouring Cotton End (1.7 miles), Houghton Conquest (1.7 miles) and Elstow (2.1 miles) — distances are straight-line from Wilstead. Send your postcode with photos on WhatsApp and we will confirm the fixed price before booking.

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