Copper, Aluminium, Brass, and Lead
These non-ferrous categories are identified and assessed by material type and condition. Keeping different metals separate where practical makes the load easier to present and assess.

Materials and handling
Scrap metal we handle
Pinnacle Metals handles Copper, Aluminium, Brass, Lead, Steel, Iron, and Stainless Steel at its fixed yard, with collection available across the UK and Ireland.
Steel, Iron, and Stainless Steel
Steel and iron form the core ferrous categories. Stainless Steel is also iron based, but its alloy content means it should remain a clearly named category rather than being folded into ordinary steel.
- Steel
- Iron
- Stainless Steel
When the material needs a closer look
Specific grades, unusual condition, contamination, mixed loads, or material still attached to another item can affect handling. Straightforward loads in the named categories do not need a separate material check. For an exception, provide a clear description before moving the material.
Describe the load in practical terms
A short, useful description includes:
An exact grade is not essential at the first step. Start with what the material is, how much there is, and its condition.
- the named material or materials
- the approximate quantity
- whether different materials are already separated
- whether anything is coated, contaminated, damaged, leaking, or attached to another item
- whether you plan to use the yard or ask about collection
More than a list of accepted materials
At the yard, material is presented and assessed, weighed onsite, unloaded and separated as applicable, then processed responsibly for recycling. The same operating stages apply after a collection is arranged.
Yard/drop-off
Bring material to the fixed yard during the published opening hours. The Contact page has the address and visit details.
Plan a yard visitCollection
For a collection enquiry, share the materials, approximate quantity, location, and access details. Suitable regular or volume loads can also be discussed through our Commercial Services page.
