About Scrap4Free in London
The Smart Way to Scrap in the Capital
London is one of the world’s largest cities, constantly undergoing renovation, demolition, and domestic clearouts. From luxury flat refurbishments in **Kensington** to new housing developments in **Croydon**, the volume of scrap metal generated daily is immense. Trying to transport heavy scrap through the **ULEZ zone** or find a suitable council recycling centre is often impractical and expensive.
Scrap4Free solves this logistical headache. Our platform is designed to overcome the unique challenges of scrap collection in a high-density environment. We connect you with local collectors who are already navigating the city’s complex road system, saving you time, money, and avoiding unnecessary trips.
A Network Designed for a City of 8 Million+
We work exclusively with local, vetted collectors across all 32 London boroughs and the City of London. This localized approach allows us to improve response times and offer a free collection service for most items. By focusing on efficiency, we help reduce the number of commercial vans making long, polluting journeys across the capital.
Making London’s Recycling Easier
We’re proud to be part of the solution for London’s environmental goals. Every washing machine, copper cylinder, or steel fixture collected through us is guaranteed to be sent to an authorized facility for responsible recycling. Stop worrying about bulky waste blocking your hallway or garden; simply submit your request and let a local professional take care of the rest.
