questions

HOW DO I SELL MY METAL TO YOU?

We welcome all customers who are at least 18 years of age with valid ID (See what's acceptable at your local yard), whether you are a business or member of the public. You don’t need an appointment to visit our yards, just call in. Look here to find your local yard, check the opening hours or find contact details and directions, or here to learn more about the selling process. If you have larger volumes of metal and are interested in finding out about our collection service, just give us a call or send your enquiry via our contact form and we’ll call you back.

WHERE CAN I FIND PRICING?

At EMR, we always make sure that we have the most competitive pricing. This means that our prices change regularly. Call your local EMR location for pricing.

WHAT TYPE OF METAL DO YOU BUY?

We buy all types of scrap metal at our yards, including most ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, vehicles and appliances. You can find more details here.

WHAT DO I DO WHEN I GET TO THE YARD?

If you have steel (of ferrous material) drive onto the weigh station and you will be directed. If you have copper, aluminum, brass or wires (non-ferrous) make your way to the warehouse and start filling up the scale with your material. Not sure where to go? Our friendly team will be close by to help!
