A Local Industry Leader for Scrap Metal Recycling in Dorking | AMB Metal Recycling Ltd
By keeping up with national and global movements in the price of scrap metal, we ensure that you get a fair, accurate payment for whatever it is you’ve brought in. But what happens once the purchase is complete? We sort and process your scrap to get it ready for secondary use. As the Dorking, Epsom, Guildford, Leatherhead, Redhill and Reigate areas’ first choice for scrap metal recycling, we’re part of a wider network of reputable companies which ensure metal heads to a suitable location where it’ll quickly be put back to use. When you choose to use a scrap metal merchant, rather than simply sending items containing metal off to landfill, you’re doing your bit for the environment. Scrap metal recycling is one of the most effective weapons in the global fight against climate change.
Scrap Metal Recycling & the Law
Since late 2013 and the introduction of the Scrap Metal Dealers act, there are have been a number of changes affecting scrap yards, scrap metal merchants and customers selling both ferrous and non ferrous metals. Before 2013, the rules around scrap metal recycling were fairly relaxed and this led to a lot of abuse and high levels of criminal activity. The act banned cash payments in favour of cheques, prepaid cards and electronic transfers – which our Dorking, Epsom, Guildford, Leatherhead, Redhill and Reigate customers choose to receive is a matter of preference.
It also made it mandatory to present valid photo ID and provide details of residential address before receiving payment. So before calling us up to arrange metal collections, or visiting us in person to drop off a quantity of scrap metal, make sure you have both documents in your possession. Otherwise, we’ll unfortunately have to halt the transaction until you can retrieve them.
