Site Capabilities

A fully equipped metal recycling operation

Panda Rosa Metals operates two established recycling sites serving Aberdeen and the wider North East of Scotland.

Both sites are set up to handle ferrous and non-ferrous materials safely, accurately, and at scale for trade, industrial, and public customers.

Across our sites, our operation includes:

Calibrated weighbridge for accurate vehicle and load weighing

Radiation detection systems in place for incoming material

On-site material handling and processing equipment

Largest scrap yard in Aberdeen, with over 13 acres of operational space

De-pollution facilities for appropriate vehicle and component processing

Leimbach 1400 shear baler for further scrap processing and volume reduction

This setup allows us to manage everything from regular trade deliveries to larger commercial and demolition loads, with clear controls in place from arrival through to processing.

Step
01

Collection & Intake

Metal enters the Panda Rosa system through site drop-off, scheduled collections, skip hire, or vehicle recycling. From one-off loads to ongoing site clearances, materials are brought into the yard efficiently to keep your operation moving and reduce unnecessary downtime.

Step
02

Identification & Weighing

Each load is identified, weighed and logged on arrival through the weighbridge system. This creates a clear starting point for grading, valuation and traceability, while helping ensure every load is recorded accurately from the outset.

Step
03

Sorting & Segregation

Once unloaded, materials are separated by type and grade across the yard, including ferrous, non-ferrous and mixed scrap streams. Proper segregation protects material value, reduces contamination and helps ensure each load follows the correct processing route.

Step
04

Processing & Preparation

Metals are processed on site to reduce volume and prepare them for onward recycling. At Harehill, materials are handled using heavy plant and fed through processing equipment so they can be stored, transported and exported more efficiently.

Step
05

Compliance & Documentation

Every load is backed by the records needed to support traceability, valuation and compliance. From weighbridge data to supporting documentation, Panda Rosa captures the information required to keep material movements properly recorded.

Step
06

Recycle & Repurpose

Once processed, recovered metals are prepared for onward shipment and returned to UK and global manufacturing supply chains. What was once scrap becomes a reusable industrial resource again, ready for its next purpose.

Step
07

Sustainable Impact

By recycling metal responsibly, waste is reduced, raw materials are kept in circulation, and the demand for new extraction is lowered. The result is a more efficient recycling loop where valuable materials stay in use for longer.

What clients say

Trusted by businesses across the North East

We visited the Canal Road facility and found the staff friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. We received far more assistance than expected when dealing with a redundant water tank and copper fittings. A genuinely positive experience and we would happily recommend Panda Rosa.

Honest to the core and clearly a family-run business. You always feel welcome and looked after when dealing with them. A place that makes you feel confident you’re being treated fairly.
Mcarta Shofti
Extremely helpful and, more importantly, honest. They’ve always treated me with respect, never underpaid for materials, and never overcharged when buying. Fair pricing and a rare level of integrity in the industry.
