Who this is for
Scrap Metal Collection for every situation
For commercial clients
What you need on file before we quote your scrap metal collection
Everything a main contractor, facilities manager or surveyor asks for, answered before you have to ask.
RAMS before we start
Risk assessments and method statements issued for every commercial job, written for the actual site rather than a template. Send us your pre-construction information and we will work to it.
Insurance you can verify
Public liability and employer's liability cover in place, with certificates supplied on request before works begin. If your framework needs a specific limit, ask us and we will confirm in writing.
CDM-aware on site
On notifiable projects we work under the principal contractor's arrangements — site induction, permits to work, and our operatives sequenced into your programme rather than turning up unannounced.
Out of hours as standard
Evenings, nights and weekends at no premium on planned work, so a live building keeps trading and a site keeps moving. Phased floor-by-floor handover where you need it.
Diversion figures you can report
Waste segregated by stream and a diversion-from-landfill figure supplied per project, which is what BREEAM assessors and ESG reporting ask for. Over 80% diverted across our work.
The paperwork, every load
A duty-of-care waste transfer note for every single uplift under SEPA registration WCR/R/3002381, filed and reissued on request. Consignment support where a licensed specialist handles the hazardous side.
Before any refurbishment or demolition work, a refurbishment and demolition asbestos survey is the duty holder's legal responsibility under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. We do not disturb asbestos — where a survey identifies it, a licensed contractor removes it before we begin.
Family run, for real
The crew who get it done
Dumpit Scotland is family-run from our Clarkston base. Our own uniformed crews handle every scrap metal collection job across the country, the same way we have since 2010 — straight prices, respect for your property.
- Own uniformed, vetted crews
- SEPA registered and fully insured

About this service
Scrap metal collection in Scotland
Old radiators, appliances, gates, tools and mixed metal are worth recycling, not dumping. We collect scrap metal across Scotland — a couple of items from the garage or a full yard clear-out — and recycle every bit through licensed facilities.
Ferrous and non-ferrous metals are sorted and recycled, and every collection is covered by our SEPA registration (WCR/R/3002381) with a duty of care (your legal responsibility for waste you produce) transfer note. Quick, clean uplift with a fixed price from a photo.
