Metal Processing

Now a thriving commercial recycler and social welfare charity, Recycling Lives began as a family-run scrap metal yard more than 40 years ago.

And, while we’ve expanded our business into other areas of expertise, such as WEEE, CRT and FPD processing, scrap metal and car recycling is still at the core of what we do.

With years of experience behind us – and an ongoing commitment to providing our customers with the best service and scrap metal prices – we’re now an industry leader in the scrap metal recycling sector.
