ON ARRIVAL

EMR Sunderland is based in Pallion, next to the Matalan trading estate. The yard can be easily accessed from the A19 and from all local city centre routes.

Due to ongoing roadworks, access to the yard is available via European Way and down Woodbine Terrace. Currently no access directly from the Northern Spire Bridge until 26 June, 2020, please follow diversion.

On site we have two sections. For ferrous metals, turn left onto the weighbridge and for non-ferrous metals please drive straight towards the non-ferrous shed.
