Aircraft Parts Recycling in Birmingham, the Midlands & Across the UK

The aerospace sector uses some of the world’s most advanced materials, from titanium and aluminium to nickel-based superalloys and precision-engineered components. When aircraft parts reach end-of-life or become unserviceable, they must be handled by a licensed, compliant recycler with the capability to process high-value alloys safely and responsibly.

Countrywide Metals provides a specialist Aircraft Parts Recycling service for aviation companies, engineering firms and MRO facilities across Birmingham, the Midlands and the entire UK. Whether you are disposing of surplus stock, redundant components, or palletised aerospace scrap, we ensure every item is recycled through approved channels with full traceability and competitive market pricing.

We work closely with aerospace manufacturers, precision engineers, defence contractors, training centres and commercial airlines requiring a secure, reliable and compliant recycling solution.

What Aircraft Components We Recycle

Aircraft and aerospace parts come in many forms, and each requires specialist handling. We recycle:

  • Turbine and engine components
  • Titanium parts and aerospace-grade alloys
  • Aluminium aircraft structures and sheet
  • Landing gear components and machined sections
  • Nickel-based superalloys and heat-resistant materials
  • Avionics casings, PCB scrap and electrical assemblies
  • Mixed aviation scrap and unserviceable components

 

If your operation generates a mixture of aviation and industrial metals, this service can be combined with our Industrial Scrap Metal Collection or Factory Clearances for a complete recycling solution.

Why Recycle Aircraft Parts?

Aircraft components contain valuable metals that can be recovered and reused, reducing environmental impact and lowering manufacturing demand for newly mined materials. Recycling aircraft parts:

  • Recovers titanium, aluminium and superalloys
  • Reduces waste and landfill dependency
  • Supports sustainability targets and ESG reporting
  • Ensures compliance with UK waste legislation
  • Lowers disposal costs for engineering and aerospace businesses

 

Official guidance on regulated waste is available from the Environment Agency.

Our Aircraft Parts Recycling Process

Our controlled recycling process ensures safety, compliance and transparency:

  1. We assess your aerospace materials and provide a tailored quotation.
  2. A collection date is arranged — locally, regionally or nationally.
  3. Components are transported to authorised processing facilities.
  4. All valuable materials are recovered responsibly.
  5. Duty-of-care documentation is issued for audit and compliance.

 

This process ensures your organisation meets all regulatory and environmental requirements.

It was a truly genuine and highly positive experience. I have never been involved in weighing scrap before. While renovating my house, I visited CML, and they treated me as if I were part of their family. Charlie explained the entire process and ensured I received the correct value for my load. The staff on site also helped me with separating my scrap. I left very satisfied with the service. I highly recommend this place to others. The environment was very professional.

I went for the first time a few days ago, the staff outside were extremely helpful and patient with me, the young lad guiding me and helping seperate everything. The man weighing everything was also very hardworking and efficient. I came in feeling quite anxious, but I realised soon after there was no need to be.
