The scrap metal industry has been a cornerstone of British industry and manufacturing for decades. We have worked with many people over the past 20 years to help them learn more about buying and selling scrap metal. Some involved in manufacturing looking to make the most of their waste metal, others are completely new to the industry looking for a way to make some extra cash.
The first thing you must understand is the laws that govern the buying and selling scrap metal in UK. We have been through the legislation and went into detail below. For those that are interested in the buying and selling of scrap metal in Glasgow, Scotland's industrial heart, we have conducted research of the local scrap yards so that you know where to get the best prices and service.
Glasgow has a rich industrial history particularly shipbuilding, iron founding and coal mining. A city with this type of pedigree offers so much opportunity to make a living buying and selling scrap metal. The scrap yards that we recommend in Glasgow are BM Metals LTD and Dalton Metals. These two scrap yards are by far the best in Glasgow offering the best service and prices.
