As many more areas across the country have moved into ‘very high alert’ Tier 4 and there are ongoing discussions about increased lockdown measures, we are monitoring the situation closely. Safeguarding our colleagues, partners, suppliers and customers remains our main priority and we will continue to support local and national businesses where it is safe to do so. 

As metal recycling and waste management activities are classified as essential services, from Monday 4th January 2021, our key workers will continue to operate following the latest Government guidelines: https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus. 

• Our sites will open from 8am on Monday 4th January 2021
