Trust and Transparency
I first came across RS Bruce (Metals and Machinery)Ltd at the FBCA Conference a few years ago, where I reconnected with an old colleague, Jimmy Nichols, who introduced me to their metal recycling scheme and the strength of their long-standing UK operation.After experiencing challenges with our previous scheme, particularly around transparency and returns, we made the decision to move to RS Bruce. The difference has been significant. Even during quieter periods at Southend Crematorium, the financial returns have more than doubled. Where we previously received a maximum of £12,000, RS Bruce has delivered in excess of £25,000.Their professionalism, consistency, and understanding of the sector have made them a trusted partner. I would confidently recommend RS Bruce to any organisation considering a metal recycling scheme that delivers strong returns alongside reliable service.Thank you to team at RS Bruce for their continued support.

Trust and Partnership Focused
After being with an alternative scheme for our metal recycling, we were initially hesitant to move to RSBruce LTD simply because it meant stepping into the unknown. However, after carrying out our due diligence and speaking with other RS Bruce customers, our confidence grew. The team were extremely helpful, answering all of our questions thoroughly and clearly.Once reassured, we made the decision to switch—and we have not looked back. Communication throughout the process has been excellent. At every stage, we are kept fully informed, starting with photographic evidence of the metals collected and their recorded weights. We then receive a detailed breakdown showing the weight and value of each metal type, RS Bruce’s charges, and the total funds returned.Since changing to RS Bruce, our charity donations have doubled in value, benefiting many local organisations. This level of clarity and transparency is refreshing and very much needed in today’s world. The funds can be directed to a single charity or distributed across several of your choice, which adds an extra positive dimension to the process.In short, RS Bruce is a company you can trust. They have demonstrated complete professionalism, openness, and integrity from start to finish.

Partnering with RS Bruce (Metals and Machinery)Ltd has been a genuinely rewarding experience. Their professionalism, reliability, and commitment to sustainable practices have made metal recycling not just efficient, but impactful. What truly sets them apart is the flexibility they offer in how we use our recycling funds. Being able to channel these resources into a wide range of local charities has brought immense value, not only to our community, but to our business as well. It’s helped us strengthen local relationships, support meaningful causes, and demonstrate our commitment to social responsibility in a tangible way. RS Bruce has enabled us to turn everyday operations into something much more, something that makes a real difference.
