Default scrap metal

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?


Well worth a visit to a scrappy, mate of mine had a plastic dustbin with
a fair bit of 15mm pipe in it, not too heavy, could easily be picked up
and he got £50:00 for it last week. Brass fittings still attached. no
idea on the foam though.
