Domestic & Trade Corporate Commercial

FERROUS METALS

We specialise in ferrous metal recycling and processing. These metals contain a certain percentage of iron and have very little resistance to corrosion. They are particularly easy to recycle and process due to their physical properties, such as their melting point and their magnetic properties.

NON-FERROUS METALS

We also specialise in non-ferrous metal recycling and processing. These metals do not usually contain any iron. They are not magnetic and they typically have a greater resistance to corrosion compared to ferrous metals.

VEHICLE RECYCLING

Morecambe Metals is an authorised treatment facility (ATF) for vehicle depollution, dealing with end of life vehicles (ELVs).

SKIPS, BINS & COLLECTIONS

Morecambe Metals have a fleet of wagons to ensure that we can provide an efficient scrap metal collection service for all types and quantities of metal.
