Free scrap metal collection

We’ll take your scrap metal away for free

  • Radiators, boilers & hot water cylinders
  • Copper, brass & lead
  • Steel & aluminium
  • Cabling
  • Bikes & metal garden furniture
  • BBQs, shelving & filing cabinets

What we can’t take

  • Fire extinguishers
  • Anything still containing oil, fuel or other fluids
  • Anything lagged with asbestos

Why Jansco

A local crew that does it properly

Cheap “man with a van” offers often end with rubbish fly-tipped down the road, and the fine can land on you. We’re a registered waste carrier and we give you the paperwork to prove where your waste went.

Reviews

What customers say

  • Rang in the morning, van was here by 2pm. Cleared a whole garage in under an hour and swept up after. Price was exactly what they quoted.

    Sarah M., Solihull
  • Used them for a kitchen refit - two builders bags and the old units gone in one trip. Sent the waste transfer note by email the same day.

    Dev P., Sutton Coldfield
  • Helped us clear Mum’s house. Careful, respectful and they took the furniture that could be reused to charity. Would recommend.

FAQs

Quick answers

Anything else? See all FAQs or send us a message.

How do you price a job?

We price by how much space your waste takes up in the van, from £60 for a small load to £240 for a full van, including loading and licensed disposal. Send photos or book online and we confirm a fixed price before we start; if there’s less than expected, you pay less.

Can you collect today?

Sometimes. Collections are often same or next day, depending on our schedule, across West Bromwich, Oldbury, Smethwick and the rest of Sandwell. Send your request early in the day and we’ll tell you the soonest slots we can offer.

Do I need to be home?

No, not if we can get to the waste. Leave it outside, in a garage or with a key safe or neighbour, and we’ll send photos when we’ve finished.

Do you provide a waste transfer note?

Yes, every collection comes with a waste transfer note, emailed after the job. It records what we took and our carrier registration CBDU646050, which is your proof that you met your legal duty of care.

What happens to my rubbish?

We reuse or recycle over 90% of what we collect. Loads are sorted at licensed transfer stations: good furniture goes to charity, and metal, wood, cardboard, green waste and electricals are recycled. Only what can’t be recovered goes to general waste.
