📍 Lancashire's scrap yard

Serving Preston and Across Lancashire

We're on Blackpool Road, Fulwood — easy access from both the M6 and M55.

Our Preston yard sits on Blackpool Road in Fulwood, making it one of the most accessible scrap yards in Lancashire. From the M6 it's about 8 minutes via Junction 31A and the A59. From the M55 it's around 10 minutes from Junction 1. If you're coming from Blackpool, Lytham, or the Fylde Coast, you're passing us on the way into Preston in any case.

We draw customers from right across Lancashire — Blackburn, Burnley, Chorley, Leyland, Southport, Lancaster, Lytham St Annes, Skelmersdale, and the Ribble Valley. Tradespeople working across the county use us as their regular drop-off. If you're on a job in Lancashire and accumulating scrap, we're the obvious stop on the way home.

Preston's economy is broad — a mix of aerospace (BAE Systems operates at Samlesbury and Warton, both within 15 miles), healthcare (Lancashire Teaching Hospitals), construction, and logistics. We deal with tradespeople from all of these sectors. If you work in the Preston area, you'll likely know someone who sells here regularly.

Looking for a scrap yard near you in Lancashire? With our location on the main A583 arterial route, most of central and north Lancashire can reach us comfortably within 30 minutes.
