Scrap Metal Collection in Bearsden
We’re Avram Metal Recycling, and we collect scrap metal from homes and businesses across Bearsden and the surrounding area — free of charge for most ground-floor items. Whether it’s an old boiler, a set of radiators pulled out during a renovation, or a garage full of metal you’ve finally decided to clear, we come to you and do the heavy lifting ourselves.
How to Book a Collection
Getting a collection arranged takes one phone call or text — there’s no online booking system or app to download.
- Call or text 07876 708929 and tell us what you need collected
- We’ll confirm whether it’s free, whether an upper-floor charge applies, or whether your metal may be worth paying for
- We arrange a time that suits you — same-day or next-day is often possible
- We turn up, do the lifting, and take everything to an authorised recycling facility
If access is tricky — stairs, a shared close, a tight driveway — just mention it when you call so we come prepared.
What We Collect in Bearsden
We take most ferrous and non-ferrous metal, including:
- Boilers, radiators and cast iron fittings
- Washing machines, cookers and tumble dryers
- Metal bed frames, shelving and garden furniture
- Gates, railings and garden machinery
- Copper, brass, lead, aluminium and stainless steel
- Cables, electric motors and workshop scrap
We don’t scrap cars or supply car parts, and we don’t collect fridges or freezers — these need specialist handling for the refrigerant gases they contain. For anything else, give us a call and we’ll let you know straight away whether we can take it.
Pricing for Bearsden free metal recycling
Ground-floor collections are free. A small labour charge applies to heavy appliances carried down stairs:
- Ground floor: Free
- First floor: £10
- Second floor: £20
- Third floor: £30
If you’ve got a decent quantity of copper, brass or other valuable non-ferrous metal, let us know — it may qualify for payment rather than a standard free collection.
Licensed and Registered
We operate as a SEPA-registered waste carrier under registration number WCR/a7bc7a, and we hold a Glasgow Council scrap metal dealer licence. Every collection is handled personally by us — never passed to an unlicensed subcontractor — and all metal goes to an authorised recycling facility. Nothing is fly-tipped.
Areas We Cover Near Bearsden
Alongside Bearsden itself, we regularly collect in Milngavie, Bishopbriggs, Drumchapel, Anniesland and across the wider West of Scotland. If you’re just outside these areas, get in touch anyway — we’re often already booked in nearby.
Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to the metal? Everything we collect goes to an authorised recycling facility, never to an unlicensed operator.
Can businesses use this service? Yes — we regularly collect from landlords, tradespeople and commercial premises, not just homeowners.
