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! We'll just need a few minutes of your time letting us know about what you do and how you intend to use the bin.

What if I don't accumulate that much scrap metal and cable?

There is no time limit in which to fill the bin. Whether it takes two weeks, two months or longer, we will be on standby to collect.

I may not be at home during the day, how does that work?

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.

Is my bin safe from thieves?

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. Where possible, it’s preferable that someone is present when the collection takes place.

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 carry out collections between 09:00 and 17:00, Monday to Saturday, in accordance with the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013.

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 after a collection takes place?

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

How will I receive payment?

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 that align with our values.

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