Luton and Hemel Hempstead based Simply Recycling Solutions are Non Ferrous metal buyers and exporters. We specialise in dealing in copper, brass, stainless steel, lead, zinc and aluminium.

Simply Recycling was formed by a group of traders who have over 30 years experience in the scrap metal industry. Our aim is to promote good working relationships with factory and gate trade accounts. This we look to do using integrity and honesty. We regard all our customers as long term business and understand the need for empathy in knowing customers' needs. We are not a family run business. Our personnel work within our organisation because of the skills they have, from logistics to overseas and UK selling markets. Our job is to be constantly negotiating prices for our customers.

In the metal trading industry, we find markets change quickly, so material needs to be moved and exported fast. We only sell to end users foundries who turn our material into ingot - this is how metal is traded at the London Metal Exchange (LME) and other Exchanges around the world.

We offer a cradle to grave service, taking full responsibility of your material once it has been collected from your works. Monthly reports of received material are available, which keeps you, the customer, informed of all scrap leaving production. This can be worked out to the percentage and helps in highlighting your operation, hopefully preventing any unnecessary metal being sent for scrap.

It is our job to help the customer find ways of recycling their material as efficiently as possible and we work closely with them to achieve this.
We understand the current climate has hit manufacturing and business hard. Quite simply, if you produce metal as a bi-product of your manufacturing process, you need to be achieving the very best service and price when it comes to selling. Sentiment is a nice thing to have but in moving forward with the times, service and price is king. Size is not a factor in this industry, markets and selling power are, “if you have the correct market you will have the price”.

We value and care about your business. If we didn’t understand our customers' needs, we would have no business! We work hard and always in the customers' best interests.

How we operate

There are two areas to our business. The first is servicing by supplying containers to factory metal producers within the manufacturing industry. You tell us what you require and we will supply it. In some cases, our in house fabrication workshop can look after your specific size needs relating to containers. These can be be lidded and stackable, saving you space. All containers are supplied to your works free of charge; all we ask is that you “look after them”.

The second way we service the customer, is for you to quite simply “come down”, bring all your non ferrous material with you. So if you are a plumber, bring your copper and mixed brass, if you are a roofer “come on down” bring your lead. At Simply Recycling we are happy to deal with anyone who has material to sell, price quoted is normally derived from the Copper, Lead and Aluminium prices traded that day from the London Metal Exchange. So pop by, you might be surprised with how much you leave with.

Payment terms

We believe our customers enjoy prompt payment. All payments are by bank transfer. Guaranteed by 12pm the next working day. Same day payments available for larger transactions.
