Waste disposal is at the heart of our services, but recycling has a major role to play at our scrap metal yard near Watford too. Much of our work involves the processing of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals, including iron, steel, lead, copper, brass and aluminium. Carey’s works tirelessly to increase its recycling rates and most of the scrap metal we receive becomes a vital secondary raw material when smelted for multiple secondary production sectors.
We also collect, depollute and recycle scrap cars.
With a busy scrap yard in Bushey, you can call upon Carey’s Scrap Metal for clearance and waste disposal services in the following areas:
Borehamwood | Edgware | Harrow | Hemel Hempstead | St Albans | Watford | Hertfordshire | North West London
Like all reputable scrap metal merchants, we want to do what is best for our customers and for the environment. That’s why our team keeps landfill waste disposal levels to an absolute minimum. Maintaining a greener planet for our Watford, Hertfordshire and North West London customers is important to us, and recycling to meet current initiatives is the best way for us to achieve this.
Our scrap metal yard, based three miles southeast of Watford in Bushey, has recycling rates exceeding 90%. Because we deal in scrap metal rather than general waste disposal, there is instantly a lower demand for landfill space. Below, we list some examples of what we can recycle, and we also explain how we make the best use of our modern depollution facilities.
We are always advertising for scrap cars wanted and accept or collect end-of-life vehicles at our Watford yard. We use advanced depollution facilities to remove hazardous fluids and chemicals, but salvage parts for secondary use and reintroduce the remaining scrap metal back into the production system where it is smelted to make new things. Very few scrap metal yards do this.
We transfer collected fluids and chemicals to approved waste disposal sites.
We process all scrap metals collected from clearance and waste disposal projects, or from items brought to our premises near Watford. This includes copper from boilers, tanks and pipework, and brass from pipe valves and fluid manifolds. Carey’s Scrap Metal can separate different materials and, like the metal from cars, scrap is reintroduced into the production system.
Less than 10% of all materials collected go to landfill and we continually review our services to bring this impressive figure down even further.
Very few scrap metal yards in Watford and the surrounding areas accept scrap cable but we have the facilities in place to strip and process cables too. Recycling the copper from scrap cable reduces the demand for newly mined materials and the need for landfill waste disposal. Our company pays the latest global market rates for scrap cable and all forms of scrap metal.
You can visit our scrap yard to drop off consignments personally, or we will collect from Borehamwood, Edgware, Harrow, Hemel Hempstead, St Albans and Watford if needed. Our commercial clients also have the option to keep containers onsite for storing scrap metal prior to us collecting it.
