Scrap Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is a form of steel containing chromium. It’s used commonly throughout many domestic and commercial settings as it’s resistant to tarnishing and rust. Its unique qualities and outstanding durability makes it useful in everything, from construction to medical instruments. Once stainless steel gets to the end of its lifespan, it can be recycled and used again. This is beneficial not only because it can be sold to scrap metal yards for cash, but also because it contributes to sustainability by conserving valuable resources.

How to Sell Scrap stainless steel
Selling your scrap stainless steel to H&S Metals is easy. Simply drop off your metal to one of our scrap yards in Portsmouth or Bishops Waltham. Alternatively, we can collect the scrap metal if you are located in Portsmouth or Southampton. We will then weigh the metal and provide you with a printed receipt detailing the weight and current rates. You can then choose whether you'd like to be paid via cheque, BACS or same day transfer. When we buy your scrap stainless steel, we will need to see some ID and proof of your address. This could include a valid photocard driving licence or a passport with a utility bill dated within the last 3 months. We cannot accept mobile phone bills as proof of your address.
Where Can stainless steel Be Found?
Stainless steel of all varieties is found in thousands of everyday items. In the home you will find it in cutlery, sinks, pots and pans and in washing machine drums. In the medical industry stainless steel is found in surgical instruments and MRI scanners, while in the transportation industry car trim and grilles and exhaust systems all contain stainless steel. Other industries likely to find copious amounts of stainless steel present include civil engineering, hospitality and pharmaceutical sectors. While you can recycle stainless steel in most quantities, it’s often most cost-efficient to collect it in stainless steel bins or store scrap until you have enough for collection from a recycling service.
