How to get started with us
Tell us what you've got
Call us and let us know the type of metal, the quantity and where you are. We'll explain the next step and let you know if yard drop off or collection is the better fit.
Bring it in or book collection
You can visit our yard, or we can arrange collection where the load and location suit our service. We handle the weighing and assessment clearly, so you know exactly what's happening.
Get paid the proper way
Once your scrap has been processed, we arrange payment by BACS or cheque in line with legal requirements. You leave with space cleared and value recovered from metal you no longer need.
What we offer

A straightforward way to sell your scrap
Clearing scrap metal should put money back in your pocket, not waste half your day. At R A Bowers Ltd, we've been helping people do exactly that since 1948, paying fair prices for large and small quantities from our yard in Poole. We've grown as a family run business by keeping things simple, weighing loads properly, paying through approved cashless methods and treating you with respect. That matters when you've got household metal to clear, trade waste piling up or a business site that needs a dependable recycling partner.
Visit our yard at 229 Rossmore Road, Parkstone, Poole, BH12 2HQ, or get in touch for more information.
