If you have found yourself on this page, it is likely that you are looking to sell a scrap metal consignment or have seen an advertisement for “scrap cars wanted” in the St Albans area. Carey’s Scrap Metal, operating out of nearby Bushey and covering all locations in Hertfordshire and North West London, can pay the best prices for ferrous and non-ferrous metals in our region.
Like all reputable scrap metal yards and scrap metal merchants, we have all the qualities you need to secure a sale. From small loads acquired during a house clearance, to large-scale consignments accumulated over the course of an industrial site demolition project, we allow you to engage in ethical waste disposals, alongside our team, while also earning a little extra money.
As with all the best scrap metal yards located throughout the UK, our site near St Albans has all the essential equipment needed to safely extract key metals and depollute potentially toxic or otherwise dangerous components found in materials. This is especially important when dealing with end-of-life vehicles as part of our “scrap cars wanted” campaign. Scrap cars contain oil, antifreeze and similar liquids which can cause environmental damage or physical harm.
Scrap metal merchants process materials from ELVs diligently.
While we invite clients from St Albans to bring their loads directly to our scrap metal yard, most are not in a position where this is convenient. That is why we offer a collection service and have depollution equipment onsite to make a waste disposal simple. Carey’s Scrap Metal has a reliable fleet and we quickly load and transport ELVs back to our scrap metal merchants for processing.
This collection service extends to non-runners or otherwise unwanted vehicles you are looking to sell to us as part of our ongoing “scrap cars wanted” drive.
On top of the convenience of collection, the type and how much scrap we collect is a big reason why some customers choose Carey’s over other scrap yards and scrap metal merchants in or around the St Albans area.
We remain vigilant in all matters relating to regulations and legality.
Prior to the introduction of the Scrap Metal Dealers Act in 2013, it is fair to say that some scrap metal merchants ignored ethical business practices and operated with impunity. They would often suspect that they were dealing with stolen metal but would offer cash for it anyway. When the new act was introduced, responsible scrap metal merchants breathed a sigh of relief because unethical scrap metal yards were ruining the industry’s reputation.
But what exactly does this mean to you, the client?
Whether you are responding to a “scrap cars wanted” advertisement, or if you need to complete a waste disposal that will earn you some funds, please note that scrap metal merchants and scrap metal yards no longer pay out in cash. Instead, you will need to accept a bank transfer or a cashier’s cheque.
Some scrap yards in St Albans can also settle up using pre-paid credit cards.
Beware of unlicensed scrap yards and scrap metal merchants that operate in an illegal fashion. Their shadowy business practices are a major danger to potential clients from St Albans and to the waste disposal sector. At Carey’s Scrap Metal, we hold licences and show legal documentation upon request.
Our scrap metal yard is one that is fair, open and transparent.
If you are visiting with a scrap metal consignment or have arranged to have a load collected, please be sure to have documentation available, such as a passport or a driving licence, so we can validate who you are. We will need to confirm your identity before making a payment for your scrap legally.
Carey’s Scrap Metal welcomes clients from all sectors to our yard, including local homeowners, small businesses and major industrial brands.
