Ferrous and non-ferrous metal combined in one load.
Material breakdown
Common Types We May Encounter.
This guide explains the major sub-types within mixed / not sure. Exact acceptance and handling depend on the condition, composition, quantity and site requirements of the actual material.
Furniture, fixtures, electronics, shelving, cable and general recyclable materials.
Racking, packaging, damaged equipment, pallets and mixed operational scrap.
Metal off-cuts, fixtures, packaging and recoverable site materials.
Production off-cuts, obsolete parts, maintenance scrap and mixed plant materials.
Items that need visual assessment before they can be assigned to a recycling stream.
Where it comes from
Where This Scrap Comes From.
Common Sources
- Homes, Shops And Everyday Clear-Outs
- Facility closures and relocations
- Warehouses and distribution centers
- Factories
- Commercial premises
- Construction and project sites
What Affects Material Value
- Material composition
- Percentage of recoverable material
- Contamination
- Need for sorting or dismantling
- Weight and volume
- Access and loading complexity
How we approach it
From Identification To Recycling Route.
A clear workflow helps reduce mixing, unnecessary handling and contamination while keeping large-volume movement organized.
Review photos, inventory or site conditions before pickup where possible.
Identify obvious ferrous, non-ferrous, electronics, packaging and equipment streams.
Separate hazardous or unsuitable items from general recyclable material.
Sort material mechanically or manually as appropriate to the project.
Route each recovered stream to a suitable downstream process.
BEFORE COLLECTION
Prepare The Material Safely.
- Keep unknown chemicals, sealed containers and hazardous items separate.
- Do not hide batteries, pressurized cylinders or liquid-filled equipment inside mixed loads.
- Photos and a basic inventory help us understand a mixed requirement before collection.
Have Mixed / Not Sure To Clear?
Share the material type, approximate quantity, condition and site access details so the requirement can be assessed properly.
