At JJC Hire Ltd, we take immense pride in our journey from a modest start in 2010 with just five employees and two wagons, to becoming the largest commercial waste operator in Cumbria by 2022, handling nearly 94,000 tonnes of waste last year. From our headquarters in Barrow-in-Furness, we have continually evolved to cater to a wide range of waste management needs, focusing on both enhancing our service quality and expanding our environmental commitments.
In the heart of Barrow-in-Furness lies our fully licensed facility where our dedicated scrap metal team processes both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, alongside vehicles that are no longer operational. This service, known as “Barrow Scrap,” is a testament to our commitment to sustainability and efficient waste management. Our team is highly skilled in handling various types of metals and ensures that all items brought to us are recycled and repurposed into new products, reflecting our commitment to the environment.
At JJC Hire, we understand that the need for effective waste solutions spans beyond businesses to individual homeowners. Therefore, we have no minimum requirement for scrap metal quantities, making our services accessible to all. Whether you are clearing out your garage or disposing of metal from a large commercial project, our team is ready to provide you with competitive and fair market rates for your scrap metal.
Understanding the fluctuating nature of market values for different metals, we encourage our customers to reach out to us for the most current rates. Our state-of-the-art weighbridge is at your disposal for an accurate assessment of your scrap, ensuring transparency and honesty in every transaction. For larger quantities, we offer the convenience of booking a skip, which can be collected at a time that suits you, simplifying the process of metal disposal.
In addition to the usual metals like aluminium, copper, and iron, we also welcome a variety of household items at our facility. From metal kitchen sinks and garden furniture to electronic gadgets like laptops and smartphones, our scope of acceptance is broad, underlining our role as a comprehensive recycling facility.
Vehicle scrapping is another significant aspect of our services. We strive to make this process as straightforward as possible for our customers. If transportation of the vehicle to our facility is a challenge, we can arrange collection, provided we are furnished with the necessary documentation including keys, the log book (V5C), and a valid photo ID. It’s essential for vehicle owners to notify the DVLA once their vehicle is scrapped, a procedure we guide them through to ensure compliance with legal requirements.
Every vehicle we receive is meticulously stripped and recycled, aligning with our mission to divert as much waste as possible from landfill. Currently, we are proud to recycle 97% of the waste we process and are actively working on initiatives to increase this percentage. This includes investing in low-carbon-producing biomass boilers at our premises, which significantly reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.
For those interested in our services or seeking current scrap metal prices, we are just a call or email away. Our team is always ready to provide professional advice and guidance, ensuring that your experience with us is both rewarding and environmentally responsible.
At JJC Hire Ltd, we are more than just a waste management company; we are a cornerstone of the community in Barrow-in-Furness, committed to offering reliable, efficient services and professional customer care. As we continue to grow and serve the communities of South Lakes, Lancaster, and beyond, our focus remains on providing sustainable, cost-effective solutions that meet the diverse needs of our clients.
