Looking for a scrap metal dealer in Sussex? We know it can be confusing trying to understand what you can and cannot recycle, so we wanted to make it easy for you to responsibly recycle your unwanted scrap metal. At Geo. E. Richardson, we accept scrap metal from the general public as well as trade businesses. So follow this simple guide to find out how you can deposit your scrap with us today.

What scrap metal can I recycle?

We accept both ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal, including copper, brass, aluminium, lead, copper cables, stainless steel, nickel alloys, zinc, batteries, cast iron, light iron, steel, engines and construction steel. We offer the best prices for both ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal. Once you tell us what you have to recycle, we’ll give you a quote so you know exactly what you’ll get.

Where do I take my scrap metal?

We have two depots – one in Burgess Hill and one in Brighton. Our Brighton depot is the smaller of the two, and usually where we accept smaller, domestic drop-offs. We don’t usually collect small quantities of scrap metal, but we are happy for you to bring it to our depot.

Call us today to get a quote for your scrap metal. Our friendly team will tell you what we can and cannot accept, and give you instructions on where to take your scrap and when to get it recycled.
