About SCS Thirsk

Family-run metal recyclers with over 100 years of local history.

Our Heritage

SCS Thirsk – officially known as S. Calvert & Sons – has been recycling scrap metal since 1920. Starting out with a horse and cart in Thirsk, our family-run business has evolved into a fully licensed recycling centre serving homes, farms, and businesses across North Yorkshire.

A Family-Run Business

Four generations of the Calvert family have built this business on trust, integrity, and hard work. When you visit our yard in Carlton Miniott, you’ll meet familiar faces – often members of our family – who treat every customer with respect, whether you’re dropping off a few cables or a full lorry load.

What We Do

Licensed and Trusted

We are fully licensed by the Environment Agency and operate as an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF). We follow all regulations under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. Our reputation in Thirsk and the surrounding area is built on fair pricing, honest weights, and responsible recycling practices.

Why Choose Us?

Because we care. SCS Thirsk combines decades of experience with a commitment to treating every customer fairly. Whether you're a local tradesperson or a national contractor, we aim to make metal recycling fast, simple, and rewarding.
