An old washing machine, a rotten metal gate or a pile of pipe and radiators is awkward to move and will not go in the wheelie bin. This guide explains what scrap metal collection in Blackpool covers with Blackpool Waste Removals, what to tell us before we come, and how to get a quote.
What scrap metal we can collect
We collect unwanted metal from homes, gardens, garages and businesses across Blackpool and the Fylde Coast. Typical jobs include:
- Washing machines, tumble dryers, cookers and dishwashers
- Fridges and freezers, once you have sent a photo so we can confirm the item
- Bikes, metal gates, railings and garden furniture
- Radiators, pipe, metal beds and other household metal
- Tools and metal items cleared from a garage or shed
- Metal offcuts and bulky metal from a shop, trade or small business
You do not need to strip every item down. Leave it where we can reach it, and send a photo so we can see the amount.
White goods and household metal
Most scrap metal jobs we collect are ordinary household items. A cooker in the kitchen, a bike in the passage, or a radiator left after a bathroom refit is bulky waste removal, and we lift it where access allows.
A few details help:
- Tell us how many items there are, not just “some metal”.
- Say if anything is upstairs, through a narrow hallway, or in a back yard.
- Mention if a fridge or freezer is involved, and send a photo before we book it in.
If the metal is part of a wider clear-out, a house clearance in Blackpool or a garage clearance is often the simpler way to book the whole job.
Garden, building and business metal
Metal left outside is just as common. Old gates, railings, a metal shed frame or a pile of offcuts from a job can be collected with the rest of the waste. If the pile is mixed with branches and hedge cuttings, our guide to garden waste removal in Blackpool explains the green waste side of the job. Tell us about both and we will quote for the lot.
Shops, landlords and trades can book the same collection as commercial waste removal. Say what the metal is, roughly how much there is, and where it is stacked.
What to check before you book
We collect general, bulky and mixed non-hazardous waste. Some items cannot be taken as ordinary waste. If you are unsure, ask before you add it to the pile. Our waste removal FAQs cover the usual questions, and a photo lets us tell you straight away.
It also helps to leave a clear path from the metal to where we can park, and to point out steps, side gates or a long garden.
