I run a plumbing business and have collected a reasonable amount of scrap,
now its weigh in time.

The clean copper is separate from soldered fittings (cut off), there are
many bath/basin taps, brass with copper attached then the yorks/soldered
fittings with solder on them.

Can the these all go together or is it best to separate further?

Certainly well worth separating clean copper from mixed copper/brass.

I *think* copper + solder should go with the brass, but check with your
local scrapper.

When I was plumbing I separated the copper, then the rest, taps etc went in
as mixed brass.

I hope you have the appropriate waste transfer license for transporting it.
A local plumber got a £200 fine for transporting a scrap radiator without a
licence when stopped in a roadside check!

Lunatics....asylum

License is supposed to cover extra cost of tipping. But he won't have
been tipping it, surely? So it's not waste, it's recycling. And aren't
we all supposed to be doing this to reduce the landfill charge.....

And because you've never heard of it, it must be false.

Do you refer to the Ukraine when you say UK? 'cos it happens in Britain
regularly. It's been mentioned on uk.diy several times and following the
cops doing spot checks has been on done on telly as one of those "Police
Stop Scream"/"Rogue Traders" things (and I don't even watch TV.)

in which case you haven't been listening very hard.

Transfer of waste which is not your personal property needs a licence.

It's well documented that Raoul Moat got stopped by David Rathband (RIP)
for not having the "right" license who also confiscated his van. Both
paid rather dearly!

A plumber transporting his (the plumber's) plumbing waste is obviously
somebody transfering their own property. Who else does the plumber's
plumbing waste belong to? The transaction with the client includes
transfers ownership of leftover rubbish to the plumber.

Does it really? That's why most tradesmen don't remove the waste they have
created?

No the bits of pipe etc that the plumber creates during the work he
is doing is "commercial waste" and the plumber should have the proper
waste transfer licence and should also give and have signed a waste
transfer document with the house holder.

The law surrounding waste and its transport is a right mess.
Technically the skin of the banana that the plumber eats for his
lunch is "commercial waste" and if he leaves it in his van to take
home to put on his compost heap he is breaking the law if he doesn't
have a Waste Transfer Licence.

I got £4.67 per KG of clean copper pipe - that is to say without any brass
fittings, plastic clips etc, there were soldered joints all over it and this
was the maximum paid for copper so I wouldn't worry too much about solder.

Clean brass, IE with no or very little copper attatched and again free of
plastics etc netted me £3 a KG and again this was the max for brass.

If you have a mixture, you'll probably get the price for 'brazey' for your
brass and copper mix, not sure what price it is but it's quite a bit less
than £3 per KG

These prices were 2 weeks ago.

I also got 17p a KG for iron and steel, not a lot, but I had over a tonne of
it
