OUR SERVICES
At Severn Metals, we provide a straightforward, professional scrap metal collection service for businesses of all sizes across Gloucestershire. We work exclusively with commercial and industrial clients — coming to your site, collecting your metal waste, and handling everything through to licensed recycling.
Whether you generate scrap daily as part of your production process or you're dealing with a one-off clearance, we have the experience, equipment, and licensing to get it done properly. Below is a full breakdown of the services we offer.
FACTORY & MANUFACTURING WASTE COLLECTION
Manufacturing and production environments generate significant volumes of metal waste — from offcuts and swarf to redundant components and end-of-line press scrap. Left unmanaged, this waste takes up valuable space, creates site safety issues, and can cause compliance headaches.
Severn Metals works with factories and production facilities across Gloucestershire to keep metal waste under control. We'll assess your volumes, agree a collection schedule that fits around your production cycle, and arrive on site at a time that causes minimal disruption to your operation.
All collections are carried out by our experienced team and accompanied by the correct waste transfer documentation — keeping your business fully compliant with waste duty of care regulations.
What We Collect:
- Sheet metal offcuts and press scrap
- Swarf and machine turnings (steel, - aluminium, brass)
- Redundant components and rejected parts
- Structural steel and box section offcuts
- Mixed factory floor metal waste
GARAGE & AUTOMOTIVE SCRAP COLLECTION
The automotive trade produces a steady stream of scrap metal — and without a reliable collection partner, it can quickly pile up. Severn Metals provides regular scrap metal collections for car garages, MOT centres, bodyshops, and vehicle dismantlers across Gloucestershire.
We understand the types of metal the motor trade generates and we make collection as simple as possible — turning up when agreed, loading everything ourselves, and leaving your yard clear and tidy. No skips, no hassle, and no time wasted.
Catalytic converters are collected and processed separately in full compliance with current legislation, with appropriate documentation provided on every collection.
What We Collect:
- Exhausts and catalytic converters
- Engine blocks and gearboxes
- Vehicle panels and bodywork
- Wheel rims and brake components
- Copper wiring and electrical components
- Mixed automotive workshop scrap
ENGINEERING & FABRICATION SCRAP COLLECTION
Engineering and fabrication businesses work with a wide range of metals — and the offcuts, end pieces, and redundant stock that come with the job need to go somewhere. Severn Metals provides reliable collection services for engineering and fabrication companies across Gloucestershire, handling everything from aluminium offcuts to copper wiring and stainless steel off-cuts.
We work around your workshop schedule and can tailor collection frequency to the volume you generate — whether that's weekly, fortnightly, or on-demand when you've built up a load.
What We Collect:
- Structural steel and angle iron offcuts
- Aluminium extrusions and sheet offcuts
