Connolley Metals provides specialist aircraft parts recycling for aviation businesses, engineering firms, and industrial contractors across London and the UK. Operating from Rainham (RM13 8UG), we collect and recycle aerospace components containing high-value materials including aluminium, titanium, nickel alloys, and precision-engineered metals.
Aircraft parts must be handled carefully at end-of-life due to both their material value and regulatory requirements. Whether you are disposing of surplus stock, redundant components, or palletised aerospace scrap, we offer a compliant recycling service with clear documentation and pricing aligned to recovered metal value.
We support organisations ranging from precision engineering workshops to dismantling operations, providing a reliable recycling route for both one-off consignments and ongoing contracts.
For engineering and aviation organisations, incorrect disposal of aircraft components can create compliance risks and unnecessary costs. Our recycling service provides a secure, documented route for aerospace materials while helping businesses recover value from high-grade alloys.
Aircraft and aerospace materials come in many forms, each requiring appropriate handling and processing. We regularly recycle:
If your operation generates aviation materials alongside general industrial metals, collections can be combined with wider commercial scrap services for a complete recycling solution. If you’re unsure whether a particular material is suitable, our team will assess it before collection.
Our aircraft parts recycling service is used by aerospace manufacturers, Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facilities, precision engineering firms, defence and aviation contractors, dismantling companies, and training or research environments.
We work with both small specialist workshops and large industrial sites, providing structured collections and transparent pricing based on material type and volume.
From our Rainham depot, we provide fast collections across East London, Greater London, and surrounding areas. For palletised or higher-volume aerospace scrap, UK-wide transport can also be arranged.
Whether you have a single pallet of titanium components or an ongoing supply of aviation scrap, each project is assessed individually to ensure the most efficient and compliant recycling route.
If you’d like to discuss your materials or arrange a collection, our team is happy to provide guidance before booking.
As a family-owned and operated business, we prioritise integrity, trust, and long-term relationships. Our familial values permeate our business practices, fostering a culture of accountability and customer-centricity.
With years of experience in the industry, we possess deep insights and understanding of market dynamics, regulatory frameworks, and technological advancements. This experience allows us to stay ahead of industry trends & deliver innovative solutions.
Our in-house logistics team and dedicated export department streamline operations and ensure seamless delivery of products to destinations worldwide. We prioritise efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and timely execution in all logistical processes.
Aerospace components contain valuable metals that can be recovered and reused within manufacturing supply chains. Responsible recycling reduces landfill, lowers environmental impact, supports sustainability targets, and ensures compliance with UK waste regulations.
Recovering aluminium, titanium, and specialist alloys also helps engineering businesses offset disposal costs while reducing reliance on newly mined materials.
We regularly assist with surplus stock clearances, aircraft component disposal, workshop clean-outs, palletised aerospace scrap collections, and ongoing recycling contracts for engineering facilities.
Each project is assessed individually to ensure the most suitable recycling route and best value outcome.
We follow a controlled process to ensure clarity and compliance at every stage. Materials are first assessed and pricing confirmed based on alloy content and volume. A collection is then scheduled at your site, after which components are transported to authorised processing facilities. Metals are recovered responsibly, and waste transfer documentation is provided for your records.
All collections are handled in line with UK waste regulations, with full waste transfer documentation supplied for audit and compliance purposes.
This approach ensures your organisation meets regulatory requirements while achieving the best possible outcome from recyclable materials.
Businesses choose Connolley Metals for London-based aerospace collections from Rainham, UK-wide transport for high-volume scrap, value-based pricing on recovered alloys, fully compliant recycling routes, and support for both one-off collections and ongoing contracts.
Our focus is on simplifying metal waste management while helping organisations recover value from recyclable materials.
