Scrap Price for Copper
Having just had my central heating upgraded, I was looking to recover some
of the cost taking the pipe to scrap metal dealer. Anyone know the latest value of this stuff? Wonder if it will cost more in petrol to take it? Phil |

When you yank the copper pipes off the wall, they have brass fittings on them where they once attached to washing machines, baths, toilets etc, these are 'impurities' and have to be removed manually prior to recycling, also they sometimes have plastic pipe clips, bits of plaster, plastic conduits and all manner of bits and pieces of ****e which need to be cleaned off, hence the lower price. |

I was expecting my carefully-rescued iron-free castings to be worth more than odd bits of greenhouse shelf and double glazing frames. It's all such an opaque process - scrapyard employees don't seem to be employed for their communication skills, so you never really find what they're looking for when they peer into the sacks and scribble on their NCR pads. Is there a business opportunity there? A scrap receiving point that people could go to in their car, without risking their tyres or their life, see a price list, and understand what they were paid - even if it was half the price you get by mixing it with the skip lorries while wearing your hard hat and high vis? -- Kevin Poole **Use current month and year to reply (e.g. )*** |
