Local Area Context
Scrap Metal Collection in Hillingdon: Local Knowledge
Hillingdon's Long Lane industrial zone is the primary commercial scrap metal source in the UB10 area — light industrial units, trade businesses, and engineering companies along Long Lane and Colham Avenue generate structural steel offcuts, copper plumbing, and cast iron from regular operational and strip-out activity. The residential hinterland of Hillingdon village and Hillingdon Heath, with its mix of interwar and post-war housing undergoing ongoing renovation, adds aluminium window frames, copper piping, and cast iron radiators to the collection mix.
WasteWize covers the full UB10 postcode — from the Long Lane industrial zone through Hillingdon village to the Ickenham boundary, and along the full Uxbridge Road (A4020) corridor. High-value non-ferrous metals may attract a purchase rate paid by bank transfer within five working days; ferrous metal is typically collected free or at a small charge depending on volume. All collections include a Duty of Care Waste Transfer Note. Call 07929 771954 for same-day collection or to discuss large industrial volumes from Long Lane.

Step by Step
How Our Scrap Metal Collection Service Works in Hillingdon
Every job follows the same documented process — from first contact to final Waste Transfer Note.
01
Enquiry & Rate
Tell us the metal type and approximate volume. For large volumes of high-value metals (copper, aluminium, stainless steel), we can offer a purchase rate. For smaller mixed loads, we quote a fixed collection charge.
02
Collection
Our vehicle arrives at your site and metal is loaded using appropriate equipment — trolleys, pallet trucks, chains, or a crane-lift for larger fabrications.
03
Segregation
Pre-segregated loads attract better rates. Mixed loads are separated at our depot before onward transfer. We will advise you on how to pre-sort for maximum return.
04
Waste Transfer Note
An official Duty of Care Waste Transfer Note is issued on collection, confirming the metal type, approximate weight, and the licensed receiving facility.
05
Recycling & Payment
Metal goes to a licensed shredder or smelter for full material recovery. Where a purchase rate applies, payment is made by bank transfer within five working days.

Common Questions
Scrap Metal Collection in Hillingdon — Frequently Asked Questions
What is scrap metal collection, and which metals does WasteWize collect in Hillingdon UB10?
Scrap metal collection is the licensed removal and recycling of ferrous metals (structural steel, cast iron, mild steel) and non-ferrous metals (copper, aluminium, brass, lead, stainless steel) from your site. WasteWize collects all of these across Hillingdon UB10 — from Long Lane industrial strip-outs to residential renovation offcuts in Hillingdon village and Hillingdon Heath.
Do you collect from Long Lane industrial estate and commercial premises across Hillingdon UB10?
Yes. We regularly collect scrap metal from Long Lane, Colham Avenue, and commercial premises throughout the Hillingdon and Hillingdon Heath UB10 area. For large industrial volumes — structural steel, copper cabling, and mixed metals from strip-out projects — call 07929 771954 for an on-site quote.
How do I book scrap metal collection in Hillingdon, and how quickly can you attend?
Call 07929 771954 or use the online form at wastewize.co.uk/contact with your metal type and approximate volume. Same-day collection is available for most UB10 jobs placed before noon. We bring the Duty of Care Waste Transfer Note to every collection — essential for business compliance under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
Does WasteWize pay for scrap metal in Hillingdon, and how are rates calculated?
High-value non-ferrous metals — copper, aluminium, and stainless steel — from Hillingdon sites may attract a purchase rate paid by bank transfer within five working days. Ferrous metal (steel, cast iron) is generally collected free or at a small charge depending on volume. All payments are by bank transfer; cash payments are a criminal offence under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013.
Is WasteWize licensed to collect scrap metal in the London Borough of Hillingdon?
Yes. WasteWize holds EA Waste Carrier Licence CBDU335711 and is registered as a scrap metal collector and dealer under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 — both legally required for scrap metal collection in Hillingdon Borough. A Duty of Care Waste Transfer Note is issued on every collection as required by the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
What scrap metals do you collect in Hillingdon, and which will you not take?
We collect structural steel, cast iron (radiators, pipes, machinery), copper (cabling, pipe, sheet), aluminium (window frames, extrusions, guttering), stainless steel, brass, lead sheet and flashing, and white goods containing recoverable metal. We do not collect radioactive materials, PCB-contaminated equipment, or sealed gas cylinders. Call to check any item you are unsure about before booking.
What risks come with using an unlicensed scrap metal collector in Hillingdon?
Unlicensed collectors cannot issue a legal Duty of Care Waste Transfer Note, leaving Hillingdon businesses liable under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 if the waste is dumped. Receiving a cash payment for scrap is also a criminal offence under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 for both parties. Always check the collector's EA licence number before booking — WasteWize's is CBDU335711.
How do I arrange scrap metal collection in Hillingdon today?
Call 07929 771954 for same-day booking — collection before 5 pm is possible for most Hillingdon UB10 jobs placed before noon. Or complete the online form at wastewize.co.uk/contact with your metal type and postcode. We confirm timing within the hour and issue a Waste Transfer Note at collection.
