Excellent service at Stewart's Scrap Metal. I contacted via WhatsApp and was given confirmation that they could deal with my scrap. At the yard everything was quick, efficient and pleasant and payment was in my bank account the same day. Many thanks.

Welcome to Stewart’s Scrap Metal Recycling

Is It Worth Travelling From Braintree to Sell Your Scrap?

If you’re selling higher-value metals such as copper, cable, brass, aluminium, lead or stainless steel, it’s worth knowing what your material is worth before deciding where to sell it.

Even a difference in the buying price can become more significant when you’re selling larger quantities or valuable non-ferrous metals.

That’s why we make it easy to check our price before making the journey.

WhatsApp us photographs or give us a call and ask what we’re paying today.

If you’re happy with the price, come and experience Stewarts for yourself.

We already have Braintree customers who choose to make the journey to us, and we want to give new customers a reason to come back too.

First Time at Stewarts? Here’s What to Bring

If it’s your first visit to Stewarts Scrap Metal Recycling, we’ll need to set up your customer account.

Please bring:

  • Photo ID – A driving licence is ideal. Alternatively, bring another acceptable form of identification together with proof of your current address.

  • Bank card – Bring a bank card for the account you want your payment made into.

Scrap metal cannot legally be paid for in cash, so payments are made using an approved cashless method.

Bringing the correct ID and bank details on your first visit helps us get you set up quickly.

If you’re unsure what identification to bring, call us before travelling.
