How Our Scrap Metal Collection Service Works in Mill Hill
Every job follows the same documented process — from first contact to final Waste Transfer Note.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Scrap Metal Collection in Mill Hill: What You Need to Know
Mill Hill combines a prosperous residential character — substantial detached properties in the Holders Hill and Lawrence Street areas — with the Bittacy Business Centre commercial zone housing professional services, technology, and financial businesses. The business park generates confidential shredding, WEEE recycling, and office clearance requirements, while the residential hinterland creates demand for premium house clearances and renovation waste disposal from the area's high-value owner-occupier base. Mill Hill Broadway's retail and restaurant strip adds commercial trade waste to the mix.
Scrap Metal Collection in Mill Hill — Frequently Asked Questions
Do you pay cash for scrap metal?
No. Under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, paying cash for scrap metal is a criminal offence for both the payer and the recipient. All purchase payments for large volumes of scrap metal are made by bank transfer within five working days. We do not handle cash transactions under any circumstances.
What is the difference between ferrous and non-ferrous metal?
Ferrous metals contain iron — structural steel, cast iron, and mild steel are the most common examples. Non-ferrous metals do not contain iron — copper, aluminium, brass, lead, and stainless steel are the most common. Non-ferrous metals generally have a higher scrap value per tonne because of their material properties and the energy savings achieved through recycling versus primary production.
Do I need a waste transfer note for scrap metal?
Yes. Scrap metal is classified as controlled waste under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Any business disposing of scrap metal must use a registered waste carrier and retain a Duty of Care Waste Transfer Note as evidence of their duty-of-care compliance. WasteWize issues these on every commercial collection as standard.
Can you collect scrap metal from a residential property?
Yes. Homeowners with significant amounts of scrap metal — from a renovation, inherited machinery, or appliance disposal — can book a residential scrap metal collection. Our standard collection service applies; the Waste Transfer Note is provided as with any other collection.
