Why use 2 Recycling to Recycle your scrap metals?
When it comes to choosing who to use to handle and collect your scrap metals the choice can be quite considerable. There will be the local scrap yard, the big business, all in one services, brokers and just occasionally you’ll find a specialist, like us.
Increasingly companies are realising that it’s not just about the highest price on a piece of paper, what about evidencing the weight? What about Waste Transfer Notes? What about a robust audit trail? What about your Carbon Footprint? Do the people you currently use even care? What about leak proof containers for slightly wet swarf?
2 Recycling Ltd stand out in a very crowded market place as one of the best operators in our industry. We often lead and others only try and follow. Take our ‘Photographic Weighbridge Tickets’, what better way to prove what weight was collected from you than these. Why is it that our competitors never give you a weighbridge ticket, let alone one that proves what weight of scrap you had? Stop guessing and see for yourself how good we are.
We have been a leader in our industry by being first to offset all of our Carbon Footprint. We are now in our fourth consecutive year of offsetting all of our direct carbon dioxide emissions, including all of our staff’s daily commute to work and the vehicle emissions used in collecting your scrap metals. We also have a programme of carbon reduction, which runs alongside our offsetting scheme trying to make a difference. Do your current people do this?
We have a great paperwork system, full waste transfer notes with digital versions being rolled out currently in advance of the law change in 2025. We have a great range of storage containers which can help you save time, help you prevent cross contamination and also improve your site health & safety. We have also invested heavily in forklifts which go on the back of our lorries. So, if you always struggle to find the time to load the vehicles, don’t worry we can bring the forklift to you.
Why involve a broker who is just using someone like us and taking an extra margin? Why use the local merchant who hasn’t kept up to date with the paperwork requirements? We offer a very professional full service with no contract tie ins. You deal with us because you like us and not because you are tied into a deal that you can’t get out of, and we are very good at what we do. Have a browse of our website to see the full range of services and why not give us a call for an informal chat to see how we can help you.

Waste Transfer Notes
Waste Transfer Notes
In 2025 Digital Waste Transfer Notes are set to become mandatory.
Here at 2 Recycling Ltd we are introducing Digital Waste Transfer Notes in 2024. Leading the way in our industry. Our drivers will have all the relevant details on a handy tablet and as soon as you have signed the waste over to our driver you are automatically emailed your copy of the waste transfer note, so you can keep it for your records.
As we further develop this feature all customers will be given a secure log on so that you can see all of your Duty of Care notes. You’ll never have to worry about losing the paper copy anymore.
In an industry that is sometimes a bit behind the times, we find ourselves achieving ‘best practice’ long before many of our direct competitors. When you also consider our unique ‘photographic weighbridge tickets’ we find ourselves leading the way in our industry giving our customers a comprehensive evidence based audit trail system.

Certificates Of Destruction
We can provide Certificates Of Destruction
When you have some scrap metal or surplus stock which cannot ever come back onto the market as a usable item, we offer an extra service which destroys the item and makes sure it can never be used again. Once the process is complete we issue a Certificate of Destruction for you to keep. This guarantees that the item has been destroyed and cannot ever be re-used in its original form.
Carbide Recycling
We buy Tungsten Carbide Drills and Tips – Don’t throw away a valuable resource.
An often overlooked resource, Tungsten Carbide tips, drills & cutting tools and High Speed Steel drills from machine shops. These high value items are often discarded due to their small size, but there is value in recycling this valuable metal. Why not place one of our free mini bins next to the machine, and before you know it the bin will be full and will generate a useful additional income whilst making sure the contents are fully recycled.
