Birmingham Scrap Metal Specialists

When you're looking for a scrap metal dealer in Birmingham, you need more than just a general scrap yard – you need specialists who understand non-ferrous metals. West Midlands Metals has been Birmingham's trusted copper, brass, lead, and aluminium buyer since 1964. Unlike typical Birmingham scrap yards that handle everything from white goods to ferrous metals, we focus exclusively on non-ferrous metals.

This specialization means we recognise the difference between dry bright wire and standard copper, between braizery and standard brass, between heavy copper 98% and mixed copper scrap. For Birmingham plumbers bringing copper cylinders, Birmingham electricians with cable, and Birmingham roofers with lead, this expertise translates directly into better pricing.

Our Birmingham B10 facility sits just off the A45 near Birmingham City Football Club, providing convenient access from every corner of the city. Whether you're a plumber in Erdington, an electrician in Northfield, a roofer in Kings Heath, or a contractor in Harborne, you're never more than 20 minutes from our Birmingham scrap metal facility.

This central Birmingham location has served the city's trades for over 60 years. From Central Birmingham to Aston, from Moseley to Handsworth, from Yardley to Quinton – all Birmingham postcodes enjoy easy access to our specialist scrap metal services. No need to travel outside Birmingham to get fair prices for your copper, brass, lead, or aluminium scrap.

Transparent Birmingham Scrap Metal Prices

In an industry where many Birmingham scrap yards keep pricing mysterious, we publish our scrap metal prices online and update them daily.

Birmingham customers can check current copper prices, brass prices, lead prices, aluminium prices, and cable prices before they even leave their job site. This transparency is rare among Birmingham scrap metal dealers, but we believe Birmingham's trades deserve to know what their materials are worth.

Whether you're selling dry bright wire at premium copper pricing, clean copper tube from Birmingham plumbing work, braizery brass from Birmingham engineering, or high grade cable from Birmingham electrical contractors, you'll know the price before you drive to our Birmingham facility.

Transparent Birmingham Scrap Metal Prices

Since 1964, three generations of Birmingham plumbers, Birmingham electricians, Birmingham roofers, and Birmingham contractors have trusted West Midlands Metals. When your grandfather was a plumber in Birmingham in the 1970s, he likely sold his copper scrap here. When your father worked as an electrician in Birmingham in the 1990s, he probably brought his cable here.

Today, Birmingham's trades continue to choose us because honest dealing, fair pricing, and professional service never go out of style.

This longevity isn't accidental – it's earned through six decades of treating Birmingham's hardworking trades with the respect and fairness they deserve.
