SITE PPE REQUIREMENTS
ENTRY AND ARRIVAL ON SITE
Site PPE requirements are as follows:

It is important that ALL customers bring their own PPE to site or else risk being turned away. S. Norton can no longer loan PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) to site visitors, we have therefore adopted a NO PPE, NO TIP policy. We have some items of PPE available to buy.
IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

It is also a requirement that we must verify the identity of anyone we buy material from.
Acceptable photo ID includes:
- UK/EU Driving Licence

- EU Passport
For payment, you will also need to bring a proof of address (must be less than 3 months old) in addition to your photo identification.

SCRAP METAL COLLECTION SERVICE
We offer a local scrap metal collection service based in the Liverpool and Greater Manchester areas, covering collections in the North West, North Wales and West Yorkshire areas.
We provide bins and skips for waste metal collection in a range of sizes according to your needs, and offer a competitive collection service for your scrap metal, with no contract or tie-in required.
You can use the scrap metal collection service for all sizes of scrap metal from small production off-cuts such as swarf to large metal sheets or rods.
Any type of scrap ferrous metal such as alloy steel, carbon steel, cast iron and wrought iron or non ferrous metal such as aluminium, lead, copper, tin and zinc can be placed in the skips.
We weigh and pay for each scrap metal collection and provide you with all the required paperwork. Your scrap metal is weighed on our weighbridge which is independently checked and calibrated so you can be confident the measures are accurate.
Call us now to arrange your scrap metal collection skip:
Merseyside: 0151 955 3300
Greater Manchester: 0161 872 0466

We operate our business to ISO9001 quality standards, and will provide a full audit trail including weighbridge tickets and waste transfer notes for each collection.
S. Norton recycles scrap metals and so by using our scrap metal collection service, you are helping to ensure these valuable materials are recovered and not sent to landfill. By collecting your waste metals for recycling, you are helping to save energy used in the production of new metals. This energy saving can be as much as 95% for aluminium, 90% for copper and 60% for iron and steel (Source: BMRA 2016).
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Call us to discuss your requirements and we will arrange to deliver a suitable scrap metal collection skip directly to your premises.
When the skip is full, call us to arrange a collection. We aim to collect within 24 hours of a collection request.
We will weigh the skip, analyse the contents and provide the necessary paperwork. Our prices vary according to the market, so please confirm current rates when you call to arrange a collection.
S. Norton makes prompt payments for the scrap metal collections, usually within 48 hours. You can opt to receive payments by bank transfer or by pre-paid Bread card.
OUR BINS AND SKIPS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE FOLLOWING SIZES:
8 Cubic Yard
16 Cubic Yard
25 Cubic Yard
30 Cubic Yard
46 Cubic Yard
57 Cubic Yard
WHY RECYCLE?
Metals recycling protects the environment and saves energy.
Recycling metals is one of the simplest ways we can help protect the environment and save energy. In fact, EU figures show that using recycled raw materials – including metals – cuts CO₂ emissions by around 200 million tonnes every year.
When metals are recycled, there’s far less need to mine new, non-renewable ores. Mining often takes place in untouched landscapes, so reusing materials that are already in circulation helps reduce disruption to natural habitats and preserves the environment.
Mining can disturb wildlife, damage soils and drainage systems, and contribute to pollution. By using recycled, or “secondary,” raw materials instead, we reduce the demand for natural resources like iron ore for steelmaking, or bauxite and alumina for aluminium production.
There are some impressive environmental benefits too. For example, making new steel from recycled steel can lead to reductions of:
- 86% less air pollution
- 40% less water use
- 76% less water pollution*
