Certifications & Compliance

Because doing things right is the only way we do business

We take compliance seriously

We know how important it is to work with a recycling partner who follows every rule, keeps every promise, and protects both people and the planet. That’s why Glanvile Metals holds all the necessary certifications and licences to give you complete confidence in how your materials are handled.

At Glanvile Metals, we take compliance seriously — not just because it’s required, but because it’s the right thing to do. Every permit, registration, and certification we hold reflects our commitment to safe, responsible, and transparent recycling practices.
Whether you’re a construction company, local business, or homeowner clearing out scrap, you can rest assured that your materials are processed in line with strict environmental and legal standards.
Our certified processes help protect your business reputation, ensure full traceability, and contribute to a cleaner, greener Devon.
