Selling Scrap in Sheffield

Recent years has seen more people than ever turn to alternative ways to make some extra cash. One of the best ways to do this is selling scrap metal. It is an industry on the rise and offers great opportunity. We have worked with many people in Sheffield and other parts of South Yorkshire to help them get into the scrap metal industry.

Buying and selling scrap metal is a pretty simple thing. However, one of the most important things to understand is that the laws that control the buying and selling of scrap metal can be complicated. We have worked in the scrap metal industry for years and have a good understanding of the laws. See below for all the basics you need to know before you do anything else. The laws have become stricter over the past few years. This is to combat the rise in scrap metal theft.

Sheffield has seen a boom in the opportunities for scrappers over the past decade and to make sure that you get the best deals possible we have researched the scrap yards in the area and bring you our top picks. Our tops picks are EMR Sheffield Attercliffe and DAC Steels Scrap Yard Sheffield. Both have competitive prices and amazing customer service.
