Default Scrap value of copper?

What is the approx scrap value (per metre) of 15mm copper tube? (in
non-industrial quantities?)

I'm just wondering in terms of whether it's worth keeping those
little offcuts of tube from a job rather than just binning them,
and/or whether its worthwhile ever lugging out redundant tubing from
previous installations while the floorboards are up...!


I weighed some in recently, they gave me £45 for 30KG of what they
called 'Braze', it was mostly copper but with one or two taps in etc.
not sure if I would got a bit more for 100% copper but I was happy
with that.
