At Henry Orchard and Sons we create you an income from your metal waste
We are proud to work with local tradespeople and agricultural businesses.
We offer the best prices for scrap metal using Trading Standards calibrated public weighbridges, giving an accurate price every time.
Bringing your waste metal to us can be incredibly beneficial to your business. Commercial scrap could be worth £1000’s, possibly more.
For tradesmen, the income you make can help with cashflow. You also benefit from freeing up space in vans and lock-ups which improves safety, efficiency and productivity. So, load up your copper, brass, aluminium, lead and stainless steel and weigh it in.
Moving old scrap metal from agricultural premises or land can help you to reclaim unproductive wasteland as well as freeing up valuable space in yards and barns. The paperwork we supply includes clear audit trails and helps you to demonstrate compliance and sustainability. This makes life much easier when it comes to DEFRA inspections.
Because we work to ensure scrap metal is processed safely and sustainably, you can increase your profits through us whilst supporting the environment. We don’t apply any charges for making payments.
Our team of experienced staff have the skills and knowledge required to tackle any project, big or small.
Many of our clients have been returning to us for years and are a testament to our helpful and reliable service.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
Due to the complex nature of modern electrical and electronic equipment, this kind of waste must be processed by an authorised treatment facility in order to comply with legal standards.
We encourage you to take any domestic waste of this nature that you have to a Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC). These are free to use for the public.
