Sell your scrap copper.
I have been throwing my scrap copper and brass into a pile for some years
intending to take it to a scrap merchant sometime. I got GPB 70 for a 32 kg of rubbish. I probably got a good price because my neighbour who was in the trade took it in for me, but still GBP70 is a loot. -- Dave Fawthrop sf hyphenologist.co.uk 165 *Free* SF ebooks. 165 Sci Fi books on CDROM, from Project Gutenberg http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page Completely Free to any address in the UK.

That sounds as though you either didn't have a lot of copper or didn't separate it out.. Copper by itself should fetch around £2.80 - £3.00 / kg this week. £2.20 / kg is about right for brass swarf or heavy brass pieces. Colin Bignell |

A few years ago we had to pay to have them collected. We don't have any local factories, we wouldn't make a special journey (the scrap yard's a mile away for goodness' sake!) but when we have enough other stuff the ferrous stuff goes along. We have a very good relationship with our scrap yard, we've been dealing with them through four generations - theirs, not ours. For instance, when we want copper sheet they often 'sell' us a hw cylinder. Mary |

There was a flicker of interest from a local who claims to have a WW11 communications aircraft rotting in his garden. I think the scrap route is best. At roughly 8' long and 2'6" wide a stack of sections will more or less fit in the pick-up. regards -- Tim Lamb |
