Metal Processing
The roots of Recycling Lives began in the scrap metal business, and this is a process we continue to undertake to the highest levels to this day. With more than 40 years experience, we now stand as an industry leader, and provide an unrivalled service across the country.
We pay a competitive price for valuable waste metal such as:
- Ferrous metals (magnetic) including light iron; heavy steel; and cast iron
- Non-ferrous metals including copper; brass; lead; stainless steel; aluminium; bronze; car batteries; alloy wheels; and zinc
- Scrap cars; vans and other motor vehicles; both end of life and abandoned
- Scrap machinery and plant
We are able to pay such competitive scrap prices because of our efficiency, experience and capability with scrap metal recycling.
Duty of Care and Audit Trail
- All transactions are made under Duty of Care requirements
- All metal-purchase transactions are recorded in our systems
- All weighbridge transactions are recorded, manually and electronically
- All our vehicles are tracked by GPS
All these factors ensure a transparent audit trail and fully compliant paperwork.
