European Metal Recycling Ltd. (EMR), headquartered in Warrington, U.K., has opened its newest scrap recycling facility in Darlington, U.K. The company says the newest facility, on 1.25 acres, will strengthen its presence in the northeastern portion of that country. The company already operates sites in Middlesbrough, Marske, Hartlepool, Blaydon, Burnopfield, Sunderland and Tyne Dock.
The new site will include a special depollution rig to safely remove liquids from end-of-life vehicles before they are processed, according to EMR.
“As such, we will play an important part in ensuring vehicles are disposed of safely, responsibly and efficiently and we can pay the customer the best price,” says Andrew Sheppard, EMR area manager.
“But of course, it is not just old vehicles that EMR will be recycling,” he continues. “By providing a facility where both the general public and trades people can turn their waste metals into an income, we are confident that the plant will pay a significant role in improving the local environment.”
The facility will accept all grades of ferrous and nonferrous metals, catalytic converters and end-of-life vehicles.
