Lead Is Heavy, and That Pays

Lead is priced per kilo and it is one of the heaviest metals you will come across, so a few offcuts of flashing or a bucket of wheel weights can weigh more than you expect. The cleaner it is, the better it grades.

We check your lead for steel clips, paint and other material, weigh it on certified scales and pay you the same visit. Roofers, plumbers, tyre shops and renovators are our regular lead sellers.

Why recycle

Why Recycle Lead?

One of the most recycled metals

Lead is among the most recycled metals in use, and it can be remelted without losing its properties.

Keeps lead out of the environment

Recycling keeps lead out of landfill and waterways, where it is harmful to people and wildlife.

Heavy means valuable

Lead is very dense, so even a small pile of flashing or weights can weigh more than you expect.

Before you visit

Handling Lead Safely and Getting a Better Price

A few simple steps protect you and keep your lead in the best grade.

Wear gloves

Handle lead with gloves and wash your hands before eating, drinking or smoking.

Do not melt or burn it

Melting lead at home creates toxic fumes. Bring it as it is.

Remove steel and timber

Nails, screws, timber battens and steel clips lower the grade. Remove them where it is easy.

Keep wheel weights apart

Separate lead weights from steel and zinc ones. A magnet will pick out the steel.
