Cost of scrap metal collection in Portsmouth
Some collections are free, especially if there’s resale value. However, for larger loads of scrap metal, or commercial waste disposal, significant fees may apply. Prices for scrap metal collection varies based on your location, the type and quantity of metal, and the service provider.
It’s a good idea to get a quote from checked metal collectors covering your local area to understand how much you should expect to pay.
Always ask for a quote upfront.
Licences and checks to check
All collectors should be licensed waste carriers. On Checkatrade, you can also see customer reviews and whether they’ve passed our 12 point checks.
How long does scrap metal collection take?
For standard scrap metal collection jobs, it often takes less than 30 minutes once arranged. Emergency or pickups of scrap metal in large quantities may take longer.
Scrap metal in Portsmouth: Homeowners vs renters
If you’re a homeowner, you’re usually responsible for arranging and paying for scrap metal collection. If it’s related to renovation or a new install (like replacing an old boiler), your installer might include it.
If you rent, your landlord or letting agent might need to authorise the collection, especially if the item belongs to the property (like old radiators or appliances). It’s always worth checking your tenancy agreement or giving them a quick call before booking.
Good to know: Scrap collectors won’t usually take anything that’s part of a landlord’s property without permission.
