I've got some steel and copper scrap to weigh in, I know the steel is
£80/tonne when bought by the scrappie, does anyone have any idea of
the price paid for copper now?


Then you wrong. Steel is £1000/tonne and other m etal are £3000+


Somehow, I think you are getting your figures a little mixed up. If
steel was £1000/tonne, a scrap car would be worth £500.
Steel/iron is paid at £80/tonne at the local scrapyard - I was there
last week asking if old guttering was worth anything.
If you know of anywhere paying £3000/tonne for old copper pipe, then
please let me know, as it'll be worth driving there for the extra fee.
