Small Changes, Big Difference
It’s easy to overlook the impact that scrap metal has on our planet. Yet every piece of recycled metal means fewer raw materials mined, less energy used, and cleaner air for us all.
At Glanvile Metals, we believe everyone in Devon can play a part in protecting our environment — and it starts with recycling responsibly.
Doing the right thing made easy
As a family-run recycling company, we’ve built our reputation on trust, fairness, and doing the right thing. We don’t just move metal — we help people understand why recycling matters and how simple it can be to make a positive impact.
The environmental cost of mining vs recycling
Mining new metal consumes huge amounts of energy and damages landscapes across the world. Recycling metal uses up to 95% less energy, cutting pollution and reducing the need for new resources. When you bring your scrap to Glanvile Metals, you’re helping reduce global demand for mining and supporting a cleaner, more sustainable Devon.
How we recycle responsibly
Our team handles every stage of the recycling process with care and compliance. From collection and weighing to sorting and processing, everything we do meets strict environmental and waste-management regulations.
We’re proud members of the BMRA and hold a Waste Carrier Licence and Scrap Metal Dealer Licence (No: TBY253857) issued by Torbay Council. It’s your assurance that your scrap is handled safely, legally, and ethically.
Supporting Devon’s circular economy
Recycling keeps valuable materials in use — reducing waste, creating jobs, and helping Devon move toward a truly circular economy. Every skip or bag of scrap metal you recycle contributes to that bigger picture.
