Do you accept ferrous metals or steel?
Ferrous-metal and steel enquiries may be reviewed, but acceptance is not automatic. Send a description, approximate quantity and clear photographs where useful.

These are possible enquiry categories, not a blanket acceptance promise. Composition, grade, attachments, contamination, form, quantity and current policy may affect suitability.
Do you accept wire, cable, vehicles or appliances?
Wire, cable, vehicles and appliances may need separate safety and material review. Do not burn wire or dismantle equipment; contact DBS Recycling before moving unusual items.
What if I do not know what type of metal I have?
Send a plain-language description and clear photographs through the quote or contact route. A photograph alone does not confirm acceptance, price or a trading arrangement.
