Metals shape the modern world, from the cars we drive to the buildings we work in, and can be endlessly recycled instead of sent to landfill. As a scrap metal dealer in Morecambe, we help households and businesses turn unwanted metal into a valuable resource through responsible recycling. This guide explains what metals are, where they come from, and how you can recycle scrap metal with Morecambe Metals.
Ferrous vs Non‑Ferrous Metals
Ferrous metals contain iron and are usually magnetic. Examples include mild steel, cast iron, and many automotive parts. Non-ferrous metals do not contain iron. These include copper, aluminium, brass, stainless steel, and lead, which are often highly valuable as scrap.
Both ferrous and non‑ferrous metals can be recycled, and our Morecambe yard accepts a wide range of scrap, including household appliances, factory offcuts, cables, pipes and structural steel. If you are unsure what type of metal you have, our team can help you identify it and advise on the best recycling option.
