Cashless payment options:

Payment on to a Visa debit card*

        - This method has been developed by Barclaycard in conjunction with the British Metals Recycling Association (BMRA). Payment          is made on to the customers’ Visa debit card through a card terminal by way of a ‘Refund’. The customers then walks away with a receipt showing the refunded amount, and they will see the cleared funds in their current account 2-3 days later.

Payment by bank transfer*

Payment by cheque*

Payment on account
- For our regular and large volume suppliers. An account will need to be set up with payment via BACS on a weekly or monthly basis.
          VAT registered suppliers can raise an invoice to send to us for payment or sign up to our Self Billing Scheme where payment can be made without the need to raise an invoice first (VAT will still need to be declared in your accounting system).


* Admin fee of 80p is applicable on all scrap purchases under £20 in value (with exception of account customers).
