Weigh & Pay for Non-Ferrous Scrap in Leeds
Our weigh and pay service is for valuable non-ferrous scrap including copper, brass, aluminium, lead, stainless steel and cable. These materials are assessed differently from general steel because value depends on grade, cleanliness, quantity, contamination and current market prices.
Send your postcode, clear photos and approximate weight where possible. We can then advise whether the load is suitable for collection, weigh and pay, or a standard scrap metal collection.

Call for AdviceHow Weigh & Pay Works
Weigh and pay is not a one-size-fits-all price. This process helps us assess your material properly and avoid misleading estimates.
01
Identify the Metal
Tell us whether you have copper, brass, aluminium, lead, stainless steel, cable or a mixed non-ferrous load.
02
Send Photos
Photos help us check grade, contamination, fittings, insulation, quantity and whether the load is clean or mixed.
03
Estimate Quantity
Approximate weight, number of bags, boxes, cylinders, lengths or pallets helps us assess suitability.
04
Grade & Condition
Clean copper pipe, mixed brass, aluminium wheels, armoured cable and household cable are all graded differently.
05
Collection Arranged
Once we understand the load, we arrange collection based on material, access, location and value.
06
Confirmed Assessment
Final assessment depends on the actual material presented, grade, contamination and market price at the time.

Our weigh and pay service is for valuable non-ferrous scrap including copper, brass, aluminium, lead, stainless steel and cable. These materials are assessed differently from general steel because value depends on grade, cleanliness, quantity, contamination and current market prices.
Marked cable, high-value commercial loads and certain materials may require proof of ownership. This protects both customers and OJ Metal Recycling and keeps the collection process compliant.
Send your postcode, clear photos and approximate weight where possible. We can then advise whether the load is suitable for collection, weigh and pay, or a standard scrap metal collection.
Weigh and pay means your non-ferrous metals are weighed item by item on calibrated scales at collection, graded on the spot, and paid for by bank transfer. You receive an itemised weight and price breakdown — never cash, in line with the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013.
Guide prices apply to collections over the minimum collection weight shown on this page. Individual metals may also carry their own minimum order badge. Loads below the minimum are assessed individually — call 07793 020266 to confirm.
