ON ARRIVAL

The entrance to our yard can be found on South Quay, on route to the new outer harbour in Great Yarmouth (opposite G&A Car Spares). The yard is on the right hand side and the entrance is located between two billboards. When you arrive at the yard, if you are bringing ferrous metals (i.e. iron or scrap cars), please drive towards the weighbridge. Please wait for the green light before driving on to the bridge. If you are bringing other metals (e.g. brass, copper, lead), please drive to the metal shed which is our non-ferrous area, situated on the left hand side of the weighbridge. If you aren’t sure where to go or it’s your first time to site, please make your way to reception / weighbridge office or ask any of the staff.
