It’s not what we recycle, it’s the way that we do it.

The way we recycle is what makes Henry Orchard and Sons different. We pride ourselves on our exceptional customer service, offering skips, ROROs, stillages and lorry collection services.

We have worked on plenty of large scale commercial projects and have tackled aircrafts, ships, cars and commercial vehicles in
our time.

Our experienced staff have the skills and knowledge required for any project, big or small and all the metal we assess can be instantly analysed, meaning we will know the precise components suitable for recycling.

Our specialist onsite equipment includes cranes of up to fifty tonnes, balers and forklift trucks. We also have Trading Standards calibrated public weighbridges, ensuring an accurate measurement first time, every time.

Family run

Henry Orchard and Sons is a family run business spanning three generations since 1947.

Ferrous Metals

At Henry Orchard and Sons we create you an income from your waste iron and steel. Trusted with thousands of tonnes of scrap through our plant each year, we are renowned for our excellent service.

Sending your scrap to us greatly reduces the scale of carbon dioxide emissions involved in manufacturing new iron. Similarly, the work that we do ensures that even brand new stainless steel contains an average of 60% recycled material.

By using recycled materials rather than mined ore, you can improve your bottom line.

Non Ferrous Metals

Our facilities also allow us to process and recycle your non-ferrous metals, including copper, brass, lead, aluminium and stainless steel.

Testament to our efficient and sustainable service are the number of repeat customers who work in partnership with us to protect the Cornish environment.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)

Electrical and electronic equipment must be processed by an authorised treatment facility in order to comply with legal standards. This is due to the complex nature of modern equipment.

If you are looking for a disposal route for WEEE and need advice you can contact Henry Orchard and Sons and we will be happy to help.
