Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the bin?

It is a 240L standard issue wheelie bin, just like those issued by your local council for rubbish and recycling.

Do I have to pay anything upfront?

Nope, not a penny! There is no contract or subscription to be tied into. There is only a small delivery charge for the bin which is deducted from your first collection.

What if I don't generate that much scrap metal/cable?

We typically expect customers to fill their bin at least twice per year to benefit from the service. If you aren't sure how much you generate you can always trial the service and see how you get on.

What if I’m not available during collections?

No problem! Most customers simply leave their bin in a secure location for us to access and empty. If you have any concerns then just let us know and one of our team will be glad to support.

How secure is my bin?

It’s best to leave your bin in a safe location when storing your scrap metal. During collection days, we stress this even more. If hidden well out of sight, we ask that you send us details of your hiding spot. If you'd like to be present for collections we can provide a date and time of our scheduled visit.

How do I know you're weighing it correctly?

Our professional team will manually separate the items in your bin and weigh them accordingly to determine a final value. If you’d like to receive photographic evidence showing the materials on the scales we’ll be glad to do this for you.

What are your collection times?

We typically carry out collections between 08:00 and 17:00, Monday to Friday. However, as we grow we may extend these times and days.

Do I need to fill the bin to the top?

Yes please. It’s important that the bin is filled to maximum capacity. If you require an earlier collection than scheduled or have other scrap metal items that you can’t fit into the bin, we’ll happily accommodate these requests where possible.

How quickly will I get paid?

Material takes 24-72 hours to return to our HQ, and typically payment takes place within 24 hours of processing taking place.

How do I get paid?

We currently use BACS payment for all transactions, however we are exploring other methods. If you have a particular preference, then do let us know.

How is Greencable environmentally friendly?

One of our core values is ‘using the planet's resources responsibly’. This is reflected in everything we do from business systems and operations to the way we handle the materials that we collect. We strive to implement the strictest recycling measures when processing collected materials and only collaborate with other businesses who align with our values.

What prices do you offer?

We update our prices daily to ensure you always get a great deal. Because we are specialists, we are able to offer competitive prices!
