Scrap metal collection in East Kilbride

What we collect in East Kilbride

East Kilbride is a new town, so the housing is mostly post-war semis, terraces and cul-de-sacs with drives, plus low-rise flats and the newer estates at Stewartfield and Lindsayfield. There are very few tenement stairs. Household jobs are appliances, radiators and boilers from heating upgrades, bed frames and bikes, and garden and garage metal.

The industrial estates are the other half of the work. Kelvin, Nerston, College Milton and Peel Park have hundreds of units, and unit clearances produce racking, shelving, benches, machinery, cages and strip-out metal by the van load.

Access in East Kilbride

Cul-de-sacs and drives make household collections straightforward: leave the metal on the drive or by the garage and we lift it, with or without you there. Low-rise flats usually have a shared entrance and a bin store we can collect from. Units have yards and roller doors; tell us whether there is forklift access and when the unit is open.

Lanarkshire and Southside runs

East Kilbride is reached from Glasgow's Southside and is combined with Hamilton, Rutherglen and Cambuslang, or with Newton Mearns and Giffnock, depending on the day's bookings.
