What we take

Redundant bar lengths

Full lengths of profile you no longer need, such as old stock or discontinued ranges. Tell us how many and how long when you book.

Offcuts

Profile offcuts, trim, beading and cill ends straight from the saw, in cages we supply and swap weekly or fortnightly.

Mis-measures

Windows and doors made to the wrong size that were never fitted. The glass comes out on site before collection, by you or by us.

Rebates

Fabricator offcuts get our best rate. Redundant bar lengths and mis-measures also earn a rebate. Collection is free for any trade load, and the rebate is paid on top.

What you get depends on the volume and how clean the material is, with no glass or very little, and no steel, gaskets or other waste mixed in. The colour makes no difference. Loads are weighed on a weighbridge or priced per van load, and rebates are paid within 24 hours. See scrap prices and rebates, or send us a couple of photos and we'll tell you what the load is worth.

How a collection works

  1. 1

    Tell us what you have

    How many bar lengths and how long, how many offcut cages, or how many mis-measures. Send photos if you can.

  2. 2

    We book the collection

    Same or next day around our hubs, and same week elsewhere. Offcut cages are swapped weekly or fortnightly.

  3. 3

    We collect and send the paperwork

    Your electronic waste transfer note is emailed within 24 hours of the collection.

What happens to bar lengths and offcuts

They are granulated, colour sorted and extruded into new products. The colour sorting happens after granulating, which is why all colours can go in the same cage.

The animation on our homepage follows each step. Pick the "Offcuts and bar lengths" tab.
