  • Looking to off load Scrap dibond?

    Hi all
    Having our usual new year clearout and have loads of aluminium composite off cuts which we need to scrap.
    Seems wrong just to chuck them in the skip does anyone know of any recycling schemes or have any clever ideas for disposal

    there is a letterheads meet in kent later this year and they will be looking for piles of small panels and the like to paint onto. that might be a good option for you i think.

    Scrap yard,

    Our local one takes it,not a lot of value but better than nought, we usually leave it ’till weve got any ally to go at same time so not wasting time on a single run for not a lot of return.

    I remember being down at the sign show in biringham a few years ago. And someone was offering to take it for recylcing.

    Can’t remember the name tho. Maybe was Robert horn, or spandex.

    +1 on this. One of my young fellas got the most horrible dirty cut on piece I gave him to use.

    Donating it to a meet is a great idea.
    You can never have enough panels.
    Particularly if I’m at the meet.
    Love….Jill
