Reliable Scrap Metal Collection Across Leeds

Leeds is one of our main collection areas. We collect scrap metal from homes, garages, landlords, tradespeople, workshops, warehouses and commercial premises across the city and surrounding LS postcode areas. We keep the process simple: send your postcode, photos where possible, a short description of the materials and any access notes. We will then confirm the most suitable collection option.

We collect steel, iron, copper, brass, aluminium, lead, cable, radiators, machinery, garage scrap, workshop waste and suitable electrical scrap. Non-ferrous metals such as copper, brass, aluminium and cable can be assessed separately for weigh and pay where the grade and quantity make it suitable.

Local Detail

Scrap Metal Collection Advice for Leeds

Leeds spans everything from student-heavy terraced streets around Hyde Park, Headingley, Burley and Woodhouse to the business parks, workshops and industrial units around Holbeck, Hunslet, Stourton and Kirkstall. That mix changes how every collection is planned.

Many domestic jobs in Leeds are on back-to-back terraces or streets with resident parking, so letting us know where a van can pull in makes the difference between a quick collection and a delayed one. Flats and shared entrances in the city centre and areas like Harehills and Woodhouse usually need a firm collection time so we can be let in. Trade and site jobs around LS10, LS11 and LS12 industrial estates tend to have loading bays, gates and forklift access, which speeds things up considerably.

We cover the full LS postcode range, from LS1 city centre through the inner areas, Hunslet and the south, the west including Kirkstall and Pudsey, and across to Horsforth, Otley and Yeadon. Send your postcode and we will confirm whether we can get to you and how the access should be handled.

What to send before collection

  • Your postcode and preferred collection area
  • Photos of the scrap metal and access point
  • Approximate amount, number of items or bags
  • Whether parking, steps, gates or loading restrictions apply
  • Whether the load contains copper, brass, aluminium, cable or lead

Common Leeds collection scenarios

  • Student house and flat clear-outs around Hyde Park, Headingley, Burley and Woodhouse
  • Terraced street pickups with parking permits or narrow access, where notes help us plan
  • Plumber, electrician and roofer jobs with copper pipe, cable and lead ready to go
  • Garage and MOT-station scrap, including radiators, batteries where suitable and old parts
  • City centre and office clearances where access times and lift use need to be agreed
