Default Is scrap copper worth anything nowadays?

Hi,

We are just in the middle (well, perhaps not yet in the middle) of
redoing our kitchen in our much hacked about house. I have removed a
whole load of redundant copper (and lead) piping and a hot water
cylinder from the roof space which had undoubtedly allowed generations
of plumbers to send their children to private schools and to skiing
holidays in exclusive Swiss resorts.

Is it likely to be worth the trouble of cutting up to fit in the
car to sell for scrap? What sort of price /Kg would I get? (Should I
remove fittings or just leave them on?)

Cheers,

William.


Copper is at a very high price at present 1680 pounds a tonne, according to
