Morecambe Metals supports large-scale commercial operations with high-value B2B metal trading and full-service commercial scrap management. Operating across Lancashire, South Cumbria, and the wider North West, we provide industrial, construction, and commercial contractors with flexible logistics, competitive LME-linked pricing, and full environmental compliance. Backed by over 35 years of experience as a family-run, BMRA-member scrap metal yard, we are a trusted partner for large-scale metal recycling.
Comprehensive B2B Metal Processing
We handle all grades of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, buying, processing, and recycling iron, steel, copper, brass, aluminium, lead, and stainless steel. To ensure maximum yield and purity, our White Lund Industrial Estate facility utilises advanced processing equipment, including Eddy Current Separation and heavy-duty shredders.
Our commercial services go beyond basic drop-offs to include industrial dismantling and factory clearances for plants, warehouses, and production lines. Our team is highly experienced in complex extractions, including the safe removal of heavy equipment from tight-access areas, all supported by a dedicated transport fleet equipped with GPS tracking for a transparent audit trail.
On-Site Management and Flexible Logistics
We work with businesses that generate regular metal waste or need to clear large volumes quickly and safely. Collections are carefully planned around your production or demolition schedules to prevent disruption and downtime.
To keep your site safe and efficient, we supply free commercial skips and roll-on/roll-off containers tailored to your specific material streams. We offer highly flexible scheduling, ranging from weekly, fortnightly, or monthly collections for ongoing manufacturing, to rapid-response one-off clearances for demolition sites. Commercial Scrap Pricing and Maximising Value
Morecambe Metals offers fair, market-based rates with transparent weighing on our on-site weighbridge. Because global commodity markets change frequently, we do not publish fixed rates online. Instead, our prices are continuously updated based on LME benchmarks for copper, aluminium, lead, zinc, and nickel. We also adjust rates based on material grade, the volume and consistency of your collections, and specific logistics like transport or site access.
You can easily increase your financial return with a few simple site practices:
- Segregate your metals: Keep copper, brass, aluminium, steel, and stainless separate, as mixed loads attract lower overall rates.
- Keep it clean: Removing visible contaminants such as oil, plastic, and rubber yields higher-paying clean metal grades.
- Use the right containers: Allocating specific bins for distinct grades avoids mixing and subsequent re-handling charges.
Fully Documented Environmental Compliance
Every commercial scrap collection in the UK must be strictly documented. Morecambe Metals holds all required licences, ensuring your business stays fully compliant and protected. We operate under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 with local authority site and mobile collector licences, and we are registered with the Environment Agency as an upper-tier waste carrier.
For every collection, you receive a comprehensive Waste Transfer Note detailing the waste type, quantity, date, and destination. If any hazardous items are present, such as certain refrigeration units, we issue the necessary hazardous waste consignment notes. Furthermore, in strict adherence to UK law, we do not pay cash for scrap. All transactions are paid securely via BACS (bank transfer) or cheque, supported by mandatory ID checks and retained transaction records.
