Don’t let valuable metals go to waste
Every year, tons of perfectly recyclable metal end up in landfill across the UK — wasting valuable materials and damaging the environment. At Glanvile Metals, we help people across Devon turn their unwanted metal into something worthwhile. Whether you’re clearing a site, tidying the garage, or running a busy trade business, we make it easy to recycle metal responsibly — and get a fair return for doing the right thing.
Helping Devon Recycle with Confidence
We know recycling can sometimes feel confusing. What can you bring in? How do you know it’s weighed fairly? That’s where we come in. As a family-run, BMRA-member recycling business, we’re here to make metal recycling simple, transparent, and rewarding for everyone in our community.

We accept a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including:
-
Copper – Often found in plumbing pipes and electrical wiring. One of the most valuable metals you can recycle.
-
Brass – Common in fixtures, fittings, and taps.
-
Aluminium – Found in window frames, car parts, and cans.
-
Lead – Used in roofing materials and older plumbing.
-
Steel and Iron – From appliances, machinery, or construction waste.
-
Stainless Steel – Common in kitchens and catering equipment.
If you’re unsure, just ask. Our friendly team can tell you in seconds whether we can take your scrap — and how best to separate it for the best return.
How We Calculate Prices
Metal prices fluctuate daily depending on global demand and market value. At Glanvile Metals, we use accurate, calibrated digital scales and up-to-date pricing to make sure every customer receives a fair, transparent payment.
You’ll always know exactly what your metal weighs, what it’s worth, and when you’ll be paid.
Why Recycling Metal Matters
Recycling metal isn’t just about clearing space — it’s about protecting our planet. Every tonne of recycled steel saves over a tonne of raw materials and reduces harmful emissions.
By bringing your scrap to us, you’re helping reduce landfill, conserve natural resources, and support a sustainable local economy here in Devon.
