Guide to Newcastle Scrap Yards
Newcastle upon Tyne's scrap metal market is spread along the Tyne corridor, with active yards in Gateshead, Washington, and Dunston. The market serves a wide catchment area covering much of the North East.
How to choose a scrap yard in Newcastle: Yards along the Tyne corridor in Gateshead and Dunston are well positioned for sellers from both sides of the river. Washington yards are accessible from the A1 and suit sellers from County Durham.
What to bring: Driving licence or passport is required at every licensed yard. North East yards are regulated by their local councils. Payment is always by bank transfer.
How pricing works: Weighbridge, visual grade assessment, per-kg offer. Sorting metals before visiting is the most reliable way to improve your return.
Tips: Newcastle's Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing in Heaton, Jesmond, and Byker generates good copper plumbing material during renovation seasons.
