Hunt Bros
Hunt Bros is a family metal-recycling business founded in 1851, operating from a modern depot at Gate 17, La Collette Recycling Park. It buys ferrous and non-ferrous metal for cash, scraps end-of-life cars, and runs a collection service as well as accepting drop-offs at the depot.

End-of-life vehicles taken for scrap, processed and recycled in line with environmental regulations.

A modern cable granulation plant recovers 99.9% of the copper from electrical wire. The plastic is sold locally for equestrian use, so under 1% goes to waste.
