Scrap Metal Collection for Surrey Homes
Most households build up scrap metal without really meaning to: an old washing machine in the garage, a rusting bike frame at the back of the shed, guttering pulled down during a roof repair, or leftover pipework from a bathroom refit. Foremost Metal Recycling collects household scrap metal from homes right across Surrey, and after 15 years in the trade, we know how to make the process quick and straightforward for people who've never dealt with a scrap dealer before.

Why Book a Scrap Collection Instead of a Tip Run
If you're not sure whether something has scrap value, send us a photo on WhatsApp and we'll give you an honest answer.
A trip to the local recycling centre means loading everything into your own car, queuing, and unloading it yourself, often with no return for your time. With Foremost, we come to you, do the lifting, and pay you for anything with genuine scrap value. For bulkier or heavier items, such as an old bath or a large appliance, it also saves the risk of trying to move it yourself.

The service
A Service Built on Trust, Not Just Speed
Letting a stranger into your garden, garage, or home to collect an old appliance is a bit different from booking a commercial job. We understand that, which is why our team is easy to identify, our vehicles are branded, and we're happy to talk you through exactly what will happen before anyone arrives. After 15 years serving Surrey, a good part of our household work comes from repeat customers and word of mouth rather than one-off advertising, which says a lot about how we treat people's homes.
Clearing Metal After a Bereavement or House Move
We're often called on to help clear metal items during more difficult circumstances, such as clearing a relative's home after a bereavement, or emptying a property ahead of a sale or move. Our team works sensitively and efficiently in these situations, and we're happy to coordinate directly with an executor, family member, or estate agent if that makes things easier.
Seasonal Household Clear-Outs
Spring cleaning, preparing a garden for summer, or having a clear-out before winter often bring old metal items to light that have been sitting untouched for years. If you're already planning a wider tidy-up, it's a good time to book a scrap collection alongside it, rather than letting items sit in a corner for another year.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to bring items to the front of the house?
It helps if larger items are accessible, but our team can also collect from gardens, garages, or sheds. Just let us know where things are when you book.
Will you take items that don't have much scrap value?
For mixed household loads with some low-value items alongside genuine scrap, we'll be upfront about pricing before we come out, so you know what to expect.
Do you collect fridges and freezers?
Yes, these are collected and handled correctly due to the refrigerant gases they contain. Just mention this when you book so we bring the right vehicle.
How do you pay for household scrap?
We can pay on the spot or by bank transfer, whichever you'd prefer.
Can you collect a whole garage or garden clear-out, not just metal?
Our core service is metal, but if you've got a wider clearance job with mixed items, ask us when you call and we'll let you know how we can help.
Do you charge more for awkward or heavy items?
Very heavy or awkward items, such as a cast iron bath, may involve a small charge to reflect the extra labour, but we'll always confirm this with you before the day, never after.
Is someone able to collect on my behalf if I'm not home?
Yes, as long as access has been arranged in advance, a neighbour, family member, or agent can be present instead of you.
