Types of Scrap Metal We Buy in Liverpool

 Copper is one of the most valuable recyclable metals due to its excellent conductivity, durability and widespread use. It is commonly found in electrical wiring, plumbing pipework, heating systems and construction materials. At OB Metals, we buy a wide range of copper grades from homeowners, tradespeople and businesses across Liverpool and Merseyside, offering competitive prices based on current market values. 

 Aluminium is lightweight, corrosion resistant and widely used in vehicles, construction, manufacturing and household products. Common items include window frames, extrusions, wheels, sheet aluminium and other commercial materials. Aluminium is highly recyclable, making it an environmentally responsible material that retains value when recycled. 

 Brass is commonly found in plumbing fittings, taps, valves, radiators and engineering components. Its durability and resistance to corrosion make it widely used throughout the construction and manufacturing industries. Brass can be recycled repeatedly without losing quality, helping conserve natural resources while reducing waste. 

 We buy a wide range of insulated copper cable, household cable, armoured cable and other insulated wiring. Common sources include domestic rewires, electrical contractors, commercial refurbishments and industrial installations. The copper contained within cable makes it a valuable recyclable material, with prices depending on the grade and copper content. 

 Lead is a dense, durable and corrosion-resistant metal commonly used in roofing, flashing, pipework and industrial applications. Due to its long lifespan and recyclability, lead remains an important material within the recycling industry. We buy clean lead and other lead-based scrap from both domestic and commercial customers. 

 Stainless steel is a durable, corrosion-resistant metal commonly found in commercial kitchens, catering equipment, industrial machinery, construction materials and household appliances. It is widely recycled due to its valuable alloy content and can be processed into new products, helping reduce waste and conserve natural resources.
