John Leach & Sons

We operate one of the longest established metal recycling facilities in the UK, having been trading from the same premises (located between Rawtenstall and Crawshawbooth) since 1911.

The business has been passed from father to son over four generations, resulting in unparalleled experience and knowledge of scrap metal recycling, along with a superb reputation amongst our many well established customers.

All our weighing equipment is approved and certified by Trading Standards, with a capacity ranging from 0.5 kgs to 40 tonnes. We are also fully licensed by the Enviornment Agency, and can provide all necessary paperwork regarding the transfer of your material.

Areas we cover include: Rossendale, Burnley, Accrington, Blackburn, Todmorden, Rochdale and Bury. We accept scrap metal from domestic, commerical and industrial customers. No load is too small or too large.

We offer:

• Consistently high prices for all grades of scrap metal
• Free of charge skip service for works clearances
• Free collection service for householders
• Complete scrap metal service

What Do We Recycle?

We offer the very best prices for all types and grades of scrap metal including copper, brass, lead, stainless steel, scrap iron, automotive batteries, alumiunium, electrical cable and many more.

If you are unsure whether or not your item is recyclable just give us a call and it will almost certainly be a valuable item of scrap metal.  Even everyday items such as washing machines, radiators, and central heating boilers all have a scrap value.

We offer free skips for works clearances within our local area (Rossendale, Burnley, Bury, Accrington, Blackburn).  In addition we can arrange for collection throughout the whole of the North West, via our network of recognised and trusted hauliers.  

We also offer a free collection service for householders within a 10 mile radius of Rossendale.

What Don't We Accept?

Please don't confuse us with landfill sites. Examples of things we don't accept include:

• Cars
• Fridges
• Televisions

If you have a fridge you want to dispose of, then your local council is your best contact point.  We cannot process them due to the harmful CFC's present which require specialist disposal.  Likewise, we cannot accept TV's due to the cathode ray tube, which also requires specialist disposal.
