At Bennett Bros, we provide an environmentally friendly, cost-effective solution for scrap metal disposal and understand the needs of our customer. Whether your choice is ethical or financial, scrap metal is a valuable commodity, and we know how to get the best out of it for you.

Good for the environment

We all have a duty to look after the environment around us, and recycling scrap metal is a step in the right direction. Not only that, but by using the same metal over again you are saving valuable energy, and helping cut down on the endless mining for raw materials that is destroying landscapes and leaving wildlife with nowhere to go. Such activities also allow for poisonous substances to seep into the soil and enter the watercourse, causing permanent damage to flora and fauna. Recycling metal is also important in the battle against carbon emissions; smelting is an energy consuming operation, and using recycled metals has been found to cut down CO2 emissions. It also reduces the effects on air pollution (by 80%), water pollution (by 76%) and water usage (by 40%)*.

Furthermore, according to data from the EU, the effect of using recycled raw materials is a reduction in CO2 emissions by some 200million tonnes each year, a colossal and influential amount. As metals become less easy to find and more expensive, so recycling your scrap metal is a step towards ensuring sustainable production and consumption for future generations.
