Tips on how to choose a trusted scrap metal dealer

Looking for a trusted scrap metal dealer near you? If you have a large amount of metal waste on your site, then consider hiring a scrap metal recycling company to help you dispose of it in a safe, environmentally-friendly way. 

But, there are plenty of unlicensed scrap metal men out there who are known for being unreliable and subsequently carry a poor reputation. So, here are 6 tips on how to choose a trusted scrap metal dealer. 

 

1. Location

If you need easy access to a scrap metal recycler at all times, make sure you choose a dealer that's conveniently located near you. This will help to ensure that your metal materials are collected quickly and in an efficient manner as per your requirements. At Clear My Scrap, you won’t have to travel to a skip or wait long hours for pick up as we aim to remove all scrap metal the same or next day! 

 

2. Reputation 

Honest, professional and eco-friendly qualities are also important when choosing a trusted scrap metal dealer. Search companies with established reputations that offer high quality services and competitive pricing. Look out for online reviews and recommendations from other customers who may have experience working with scrap metal dealers in your area to get a sense of which ones are trustworthy and reliable. 

 

3. Certifications and licences

Before you work with any scrap metal dealer, be sure to carefully review their certification and licensing status to ensure that they operate legally and responsibly. A site licence will be displayed in a prominent place for public viewing and for mobile scrap metal collectors, a licence will be visible on any vehicle.

 

4. Customer service

When it comes to excellent customer service, look for scrap metal dealers who offer responsive and attentive customer support. Ideally, a company who provides a variety of services (scrap cars and nonferrous scrap metal), a convenient collection service from your location, or waste bins for commercial use is a great indication that they value their customers in making the process of removing your scrap metal easy and straightforward.

 

5. Pricing 

Finally, you want to sell your scrap metal for the best price possible.  Different dealers may offer a variety of pricing and payment options, including flat-fee pricing, pay-by-weight pricing, and cash-on-delivery. Be sure to choose a dealer that works best for your needs and budget. 

 

Whether you are looking to sell old appliances, cars, or other types of scrap metal, following these tips will help ensure that you find a reliable and trusted dealer who can give you the best value for your materials.
