...

15th Sept got:

£2.75 per kg copper pipe ( I removed the brass fittings)
£2.35 per kg for hot water cylinder and copper back boiler

£1.55 per kg for yellow brass - ie compression fittings

Just to add a few more real-world, current prices, received today:

Light Iron 6p/kg
H/W cyl £2.50/kg
Clean copper (old pipe but all fittings removed) £2.80/kg
Insulated copper cable & flex 80p/kg
Brass fittings etc £1.70/kg
Car rads £1.40/kg
Cast aluminium 70p/kg
Rolled aluminium 85p/kg
Electric motors 30p/kg
Lead 45p/kg

Cue: a certain contributor to the group popping up to tell us his time
is so valuable that it's not worth his while taking any of this sort of
stuff.
