Selling Scrap Metal in Coventry
Coventry has a strong industrial heritage in automotive and aerospace manufacturing, and its scrap metal market reflects that. Yards in Foleshill, Longford, and the Aldermoor industrial area are experienced with cast and extruded aluminium alloys, steel sections, and copper from the area's large older housing stock.
The city's manufacturing base creates strong competition between yards, which generally keeps non-ferrous pricing close to national benchmarks.
Local Tips for Getting a Better Price in Coventry
Always call ahead — some yards have restricted hours or temporary closures.
Separate your metals before you arrive; mixed loads are often graded down.
Bring valid photo ID and bank details for payment — cash is illegal under the 2013 Act.
Know what you have. Use our grade identification guide before you go — grades can mean 2–3× more money for the same weight.
