Guide to Coventry Scrap Yards
Coventry has a strong scrap metal market shaped by its automotive and aerospace manufacturing heritage. Yards in Foleshill, Longford, and the Aldermoor area are experienced with cast and extruded aluminium alloys, copper electrical cable, and ferrous steel from the city's industrial base.
How to choose a scrap yard in Coventry: Foleshill is the closest industrial area to the city centre and has the most active yards. Longford suits sellers from the northeast of the city.
What to bring: Photo ID (driving licence or passport) is required. Coventry yards are regulated by Coventry City Council under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. Payment is always by bank transfer.
How pricing works: Weighbridge, visual grade, per-kg offer. Aluminium grading in Coventry is particularly nuanced given the automotive supply chain — sort aluminium grades before visiting.
Tips: Alloy wheels should be separated from cast engine aluminium and extruded sections. Copper from Coventry's inter-war housing is typically clean enough for Copper #1.
