Below, we discuss why landfills are bad for the environment and how your household or business will contribute to a greener, cleaner planet with our help.

What Happens To Metal At A Landfill Site?

For decades, most of our waste has been taken to plots of land known as landfill sites. Picture a mountain of foul-smelling rubbish that has been dumped and left to rot, with little regard for its effect on the environment. If your household or business is conscious of the impact waste disposal has on our planet, why not send your scrap metal to our professional merchants? We will ensure it is recycled and put to good use.

Landfills are man-made structures, isolated from rain, air and groundwater. While the aim of this is to keep waste out of the local environment, it often has the reverse effect. As materials decay slowly, the organic waste reacts with bacteria, releasing harmful gases like methane and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. 

As the Earth’s population continues to rise, so will the volume of waste at landfill sites. This will cause more environmental issues and contribute to climate change. So, it’s important for all households and businesses to consider sustainable waste management, like our metal recycling services.

We also undertake mobile scrap collection to make the eco-friendly approach easier for our clients in Maidstone. We offer scrap car collection, including MOT failure collection, from an address of your choosing.

How Metal Recycling Solves These Issues

After purchasing your scrap metal, we transport it to local scrap yards and metal recycling centres, where it is sorted by machinery and broken down to be repurposed. If scrap metal is reused, there is less demand for the production of virgin metals. This is good for the environment as the mining process produces harmful gases and contributes to the depletion of our natural resources. 

So, if you would like to show customers that you run an environmentally conscious business or trade, or if you have old household goods that could be put to better use, why not use our scrap car collection, mobile scrap collection and MOT failure collection services?
