A Brunton Skip Hire are the leading suppliers of scrap handling services in the local area.

A large pre-compression shear handles the processing of bulky ferrous metals. This transforms products suitable for recycling at our steel works. Balling light items such as cars etc, and shearing the heavier material.

Non-ferrous metals such as brass, copper, aluminium and lead etc. are also processed on site. This includes cropping balling and grading before transporting to smelters for recycling.

Top prices are always paid with immediate payment grades of scrap metal. We can also create a monthly account if required.

We operate a 40 tonne electronic weigh bridge and modern scrap handling equipment. Such as cranes equipped with magnets or grabs. As a result we are able to handle most grades of scrap metal efficiently and safely on site.

If required we can arrange for collection of scrap material from your location. Whether required from factories, farms, or other locations. This can be undertaken by one of our standard skips or roll-on-off container. We have a variety of sizes of containers available.

Or for one off collections of bulky items we have a flat wagon and hiab. The collection of scrap cars ELVs is by specialised recovery vehicle.
