after pulling all the plumbing out of the airing cupboard
I now have a pile of copper pipe, and a water tank with immersion heater
inside it.

The copper has all the brass fittings on the ends and the tank is wrapped in
the usual foam insulation

Anyone know,....

1. is it worth going to a scrap dealer with this small amount
2. if yes, would I need to separate the brass from the copper and do I need
to somehow remove the foam from the tank?

Yes, it is worthwhile weighing it in. Ring round first to see what they
are paying, one local to me pays £1.30/kg, another around £2.50, so it
pays to make a few calls.

If you can, take off the foam first. It comes off pretty easy if you
attack it with a Stanley knife. £10+ for the tank alone.
No real need to separate brass and copper. Pure copper gets a slightly
better price, though for small amounts it isnt worth bothering with.
I've never separated any of mine.
