Have some ceilings down in the house at the moment and could easily
remove, if it's worth it, some 25 to 30ft of old lead cold water pipe.
It's in three sections (other bits chopped out), about 6ft rising next
to the newer pipe, a run of 12 or 16ft under the upstairs floor, and a
drop of 6ft or so next to the sink in the kitchen. Didn't bother
checking, but it looks like about an inch external diameter and maybe as
little as half an inch internal.

Anyway, is there any point recovering it, and who might like to take it
off my hands if I do?

There's no reason I couldn't just leave it there; there's plenty of room
for all the other underfloor stuff, but if it is worth anything, it
might be worth 30 minutes of my time ripping it out.

Diolch!

Hwyl!

Any scrap like this is worth taking in. Just look in yellow pages for scrap
dealers and ring for a price.

Don't expect to get rich though: IIRC lead is something like 40p/kg - or

(1) Assuming

Relative to the time taken to remove it and cost of going down the

Regardless of the money value I think it's still worth removing
redundant pipes if you have the opportunity.

You won't get more than about 40p-50p/kilo and I doubt that a 30 foot run
would amount to much weight.

I tried this once when I removed an old cast iron bath. It was a really old,
heavy (and a pig!) bath. Rang up a scrappy for costing, and they wanted to
charge me £15 to take it away! (this was nearly 20 years ago).

Which is largely unused, these days.

[T] But the 'black powder' boys still love it for casting their shot,
or were you talking clay / game loads? I thought steel was only

Another outlet might be a Sub Aqua shop .. they often melt it down and
mould it into belt weights?

Mind you most of them get their stock from the roofing trade ..

It is for sea fishing weights where the leads are quite heavy . Coarse

What's the connection between "black powder" and shot ? There are

For casting _bullets_ (which is what black powder shooters cast), lead
pipe is near useless. It's old lead and the inside of the pipe has
some bizarre chemistry owing to a century of tapwater. It's just about
the last stuff you'd put in the caster. Wheel weights are commonplace
and usually free, harder alloys like linotype are still available
relatively cheaply.

Given the overall costs of bp shooting, and the need for a good lead
alloy if you want any sort of accuracy, then it's just not worth
folling around with old pipe.

I collect my copper, brass and lead scraps: last time I went down the
scrappy with a couple of rubble bags of pipe and short bits, a plastic crate
full of brass stuff, couple of HW cylinders, some lead pipe and an old car
battery or 2 and got £50 or more for it. You're never going to be a
millionaire from it but it's just about worth the time taken collecting
stuff and taking to the merchant's, and gives you a nice smug feeling inside
because you're recycling it :-)

And if you're replacing a HW cylinder and taking the old one away for the
punter you're going to have to get rid of it somewhere anyway.

Hi Dave, strange? I've now also set the "Send Usenet as: ASCII" on top

{I just went to send this and it tells me it can't send it because I
that the 'pound' symbol. I assume because it's 127 in the chr table

If Dingly means shot as in small shot for shot-guns, I would say that

reason for that.

For casting lead balls lead pipe is fine. So is lead flashing! A short
story - a long time ago, two boys liked messing around, and pinched the lead
off a council garage roof in a row of similar garages, for casting
lead balls and things, and sending them through old doors! - this
flashing was great stuff! The other boy, when he was old enough to get
a car, needed a garage, too - so guess which one he got?? Anyway, I
digress - WTF do you think people used in days of yore, old carts did
not need "wheel weights"!

[T] I'm not sure this guy (or his gun) would care what the lead was

AFAIR in the late 1700s a musket ball fired by a competent shot would
achieve a useful result (hitting a target 150' long by 6' high at 100
yards range) only 70% or so of the time. Accuracy wasn't a particularly
achieveable thing! There was very little chance that a single shot
would hit a single man-sized target at that range.

Don't forget to put a little tape across PP3 terminals - they're close
enough together to cause a short if a bit of tinfoil or wire wool comes
into contact, and that, even if the battery is "flat", might start a
fire in your bin.

It was a different situation, but I've started doing this since a fire
at a previous place of employment. We *think* it started because someone
disposed of a "dead" sealed lead-acid 12V battery into a general waste
bin which also had bits of wire and polystyrene in it. Wouldn't have been
a major problem, except that the bin was up against a wall along which was
clipped a large chunk of SWA cable taking power to one wing of the
building. Blew two of the three *incoming* fuses and forced me to wheel out
the generator. All this, of course, at some unearthly hour in the middle
of the night.

Hwyl!

Will your local tip not take them?

Let me call a couple of pubs and check that it's OK. Did you make a
reservation at the Green Man last time or just show up?

Any other suggestions that you know?

Did someone mention a ****up ?

Yep. Interested?

I will be soon, when things slow down a bit

.... and when I get bored with my diet - 1 stone in two weeks Rah !

I know an organisation which took theirs to France (they were going

Not at that time as a separate collection.

These days we don't have a local tip, so the ordinary "dust cart"
takes everything from ordinary domestic waste to defunct televisions,
furniture (sofas etc) and even fridges/freezers. Humped into the back
and crushed, no attempt to recover/contain the refridgerant...
