We supply skips for scrap metal only — delivered and collected free of charge across the Thirsk area, and we pay you for the metal. Ideal for house clearances, farm clean-ups, workshop clear-outs and commercial premises.
- 8-yard skips — suitable for domestic and small commercial jobs
- 40-yard roll-on/roll-off skips — for large-scale commercial and industrial clearances
Skips are for scrap metal only — no general waste, wood, plastic or rubble. Call us to arrange delivery and collection.
Scrap Cars & Vehicles
We take all scrap vehicles — cars, vans, 4x4s and light commercials, running or not.
- Free collection across North Yorkshire
- Payment by bank transfer or cheque
To scrap your vehicle, call us with the make, model, year and location. We’ll arrange collection at a time that suits you.
Site Clearance
We provide site clearance services for commercial, industrial and agricultural properties across North Yorkshire.
