From scrap aluminium to valuable resources.

These aluminium bales are part of the metal recycling process at W&S Recycling.

Once scrap aluminium has been collected and sorted, it is compressed into large, dense bales, making the material easier to store, handle and transport to specialist recycling facilities.

From there, the aluminium can be melted down and processed into new products, including vehicle components, construction materials, packaging and everyday household items.

Did you know that recycling aluminium uses around 95% less energy than producing new aluminium from raw materials?

By sorting and baling scrap aluminium, we help recover valuable resources, reduce waste and keep recyclable metals in circulation.

What you see here isn't the end of the material's journey. It's the beginning of its next purpose.

What happens to scrap steel?

From old pipes and metal structures to industrial offcuts and unwanted steel components, scrap steel still has plenty of value long after its original purpose has ended.

At W&S Recycling, we collect, sort and process scrap steel, preparing it for the next stage of the metal recycling process.

Steel is one of the most widely recycled materials in the world and can be recycled repeatedly without losing its essential properties. Once processed, recycled steel can be used to manufacture new products, including construction materials, vehicle components, machinery and everyday household items.

By recycling scrap steel, we help reduce the demand for new raw materials, conserve resources and keep valuable metals in circulation.

What looks like a pile of scrap today could become something entirely new tomorrow.

What happens to old alloy wheels?

Just because an alloy wheel has reached the end of its life on a vehicle doesn't mean the material has lost its value.

Most alloy wheels are made primarily from aluminium, a metal that can be recycled repeatedly without losing its essential properties.

At W&S Recycling, scrap alloy wheels are collected and sorted before being prepared for the next stage of the metal recycling process. The aluminium can then be recovered and used to manufacture new products, including vehicle components, building materials and other aluminium goods.

Recycling alloy wheels helps reduce the demand for new raw materials, conserve energy and keep valuable metals in circulation.

What was once part of a vehicle could go on to become something entirely new.

What happens to old brake discs?

At W&S Recycling, used brake discs arrive at our Yeovil site, where they are collected and stored until there is enough material to transport efficiently to the next stage of the metal recycling process.

The brake discs are transported to specialist recycling facilities, where the metal can be processed and recovered for use in new products.

Brake discs might have reached the end of their life on the road, but the metal they contain still has value.

It's another example of how scrap metal recycling helps recover valuable resources, reduce waste and keep materials in circulation.

Where do your used coffee pods go? ☕

Did you know that many of our Household Recycling Centres have dedicated drop-off points for aluminium and plastic coffee pods?

Once collected, the pods are sent for specialist recycling, where the coffee grounds are separated from the packaging.

The aluminium can be recycled into new metal products, while the plastic can be processed and used to manufacture new items. Even the leftover coffee grounds can be put to good use, such as through composting or other recovery processes.

By keeping coffee pods separate from general waste, we can help recover valuable materials and give them another purpose.

Next time you've finished your morning coffee, don't forget that your used pods could have a second life!

Check your local Household Recycling Centre for coffee pod recycling facilities.

What happens to aluminium once it becomes scrap?

At W&S Recycling, we sort and process aluminium from a wide range of sources, including sinks, pipes, factory offcuts, template cut outs and other aluminium products. The material can then be baled and sent on for further recycling.

And that is far from the end of its journey.

Recycled aluminium can be used again to create everything from vehicle components and packaging to kitchenware, machinery and building materials. Aluminium can be recycled repeatedly, keeping valuable material in circulation and reducing the need for new raw materials.

What might look like scrap today could become something completely different tomorrow.

That is the value of aluminium recycling.

WEEE on the move ♻️

Ever wondered what happens to your old electricals after you drop them off at one of our Household Recycling Centres?

WEEE, which stands for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, is kept separate from general waste before being collected and transported for further sorting and processing.

From old household appliances to smaller electrical items, WEEE recycling helps recover valuable materials that can be used again, while ensuring electrical waste is handled responsibly.

So, when your old electricals reach the end of their life, make sure they go into the right recycling stream. What you no longer need could still contain valuable resources.
