James Rollason review
Ranked 5 of 10 in Hazardous waste disposal in Telford
Best for: scrap metal with hazardous waste handling

James Rollason in short
James Rollason is a Wellington scrap metal processor stating it is licensed to carry, manage and dispose of all types of metal waste alongside a variety of hazardous wastes, with a waste transfer note on each collection. What sets James Rollason apart in our view is that pairing of scrap metal with hazardous handling from one yard, behind a stated century of trading. Its Environment Agency carrier, broker and dealer registration is current.
Customer reviews of James Rollason are warm at well above four out of five on Google, the headline behind a solid customer score, with no other review source on record. Our view is that it suits factories, builders and households with scrap metal plus awkward items to shift. What counts against it: no published prices and no insurance statement, leaving both to the written quote.
Our verdict
Our judgement: James Rollason suits Telford factories, builders and households with scrap metal plus hazardous items to move, backed by a century of trading claimed on the site [1]. The carrier registration is current [2]. Published prices and insurance detail are the gaps [1].
