Delivery and sale of old metals and scrap.
Vanhees Metalen is the place to drop off and sell all your old metals
and all types of scrap. In addition, we place skips for scrap metal
which are collected again by our own people. Finally, we also
demolish and clean up steels structures, machines, furnaces...
Unless expressly agreed otherwise, Vanhees Metalen will buy metals exclusively under the terms set forth below.
The purchased metals will always be carried at the risk of the seller, unless agreed otherwise. The skips will always be placed under the responsibility of the customer and must only be used for loading metals. Such goods must be free of pollution.
In the event of damage or theft of a skip, the new value will be charged to the customer.
If different types of quality are mixed, the purchase price of the entire batch will be reduced to the rate of the lowest quality.
The supplied materials are only accepted if they are free of interfering materials, such as:
- asbestos and materials containing asbestos
- toxic and explosive substances
- radioactive substances
- all electronic components containing PCB such as condensers
If, during waste sorting, pollution is found, the supplier will be liable and will have to pay the costs.
If the metals are polluted, the amount of polluted material will be deducted from the total weight. The polluted material will be transported by Vanhees Metalen nv to the proper landfill at the seller's expense. Rejected goods will be returned at the customer's expense.

Car Wreck Depollution Centre
Vanhees Metalen is an OVAM-approved car wreck depollution centre. Thanks to the extraction of all types of fluids such as oils and fuels, and the removal of the battery, oil filter, tyres and glass, the vehicle is ready to be crushed in the shredding plant.
Shears
This plant is used at Vanhees Metalen to reduce pure metals to a furnace-ready product. The shears reduce all pure scrap to furnace-ready lengths. These materials are cut to lengths of a maximum of 1 m and at a capacity of 30 tonnes per hour. The finished product is intended for steel factories as well as for export.
Shredding Plant
The shredding plant crushes mixed types of metal, car wrecks, tin and scrap from recycling centres to form pure secondary raw materials for the Belgian and international metal industry.
Our shredding plant has a capacity of 250 tonnes per day.
Onze shredderinstallatie heeft een capaciteit van 250 ton/dag.
