Separate metals at source
Steel, copper and other metals can need different processing. Connections and composite components may first require dismantling. Safe working space remains important.
Reuse or raw-material processing
Reusing a component differs from recycling it as raw material. Structural reuse needs evidence of suitability; recovered steel is not automatically suitable as a new beam.
Transport and any settlement
Collection, sorting, contamination and receiving conditions affect costs and any potential credit. Record the agreed processing route in the quotation.

Work sequence and safety
Photos and documents support the initial assessment. Where needed, a site visit or specialist information follows. Equipment, dust control, protection, sorting and handover fit the actual project. Unknown materials or structural functions require assessment before work continues.
Your Amsterdam property
Include the floor level, access route and permitted lift loads. Shared areas, homeowners’ association arrangements and any protected status are considered when preparing the work.
Frequently asked questions
Will I automatically be paid for scrap metal?
No. Material, condition, sorting, transport and receiving terms determine any potential settlement.
Can recovered steel become a new structural beam?
Only with technical evidence and an appropriate designed application.
