I've had to replace the Rover battery. It's an 069 70 amp hour and weighs
approx 28kg.

Living where I do, I'll have to travel some distance to find a scrap yard.
So can anyone give a rough idea of what the old is worth as scrap? I've
seen about 60p a kg quoted for scrap lead, but not sure how that
translates to batteries.

Our local scrap car/metal merchant pays close to 50p/kg for batteries,
that is they just weigh the batteries on their scales and pay
accordingly.

I've no idea about thr value, but when you factor in fuel for making a
trip and your time, it may be worth just hanging onto it until you are
next going to your council recycling centre and just giving it to them.
That's what I did with the last two (admittedly smaller) batteries.

The last time I took a car full of stuff (inc probably 10 batteries)
I got nearly £100 and being retired and the scrap yard probably only 1
mile away, very much 'worth my time'. ;-)

it may be worth just hanging onto it until you are
next going to your council recycling centre and just giving it to them.

For me that would be a longer drive and without the fiscal incentive.
;-)

That's what I did with the last two (admittedly smaller) batteries.

Put them on your property boundary with a 'Take me' note and they will
probably be gone by the morning (saving you a trip)?

I've had what I thought was a reasonably well obscured battery lifted
off my front drive and caught another red handed not long after
(likely the same person).

A loud 'OY!' was enough to get his attention and the suggestion that
he might put it back pronto ... it being theft and he was on CCTV ...
was enough for him to do so (with a sheepish 'sorry mate'). I just
happened to be out the front but a few doors along. ;-)

You can generally determine when the prices are up on such things when
they are taken like that.

I'm perfectly happy with that and the funds are normally in my account
before we get home (1 mile).

Sounds posh. ;-)

We also have a PCB recycling centre fairly close and to my surprise, a
small box of old motherboards and other PCBs earned me a cheque for
£26. ;-)

I've actually got more than one. As has a pal who lives nearby. So taking

If outside access is possible, why would you want to fit it from the

So they don't have to work from scaffolding or ladders.

My biggest windows in the bays are fitted behind the decorative pillars
so fitting them from ten inside was the easiest option.

Hope you're not fitting UPVC double glazing there, then. ;-)

The windows at the rear of my property are fitted behind a slightly
arched upper opening.

If they ever need replacing, I'll do it from the outside. Scaffolding
isn't that expensive, and can be used for any painting necessary in
that area at the same time.

Front of terrace house £350 last time I hired scaffolding.

But think how much you'd save by DIY buying and fitting?

And presumably same with fridge / freezer compressors?

When a household dumps a fridge outside on the pavement, hardly a day
passes by, before someone has arrived, extracted the motor and driven
off - leaving nothing but the fridge and a small cloud of refrigerant
gas ...

I live in Hackney. There are people walking and driving by all the time
looking for stuff, like modern day rag and bone men (and they are all
men).

Funniest thing is an armchair we put outside, which swiftly
disappeared. Next weekend the kids and I went to Brick Lane market and
the kids spotted the armchair and started playing on it. The bloke then
tried to sell it to me for £50.

And because he was only using a horse and cart, moving slowly and
quietly (in between the hails), you had a chance to go out and get his
attention before he got too far away.

And you have also eeked out the time before they need to be recycled

Yeah, 'mixed light iron' isn't normally worth much so you need quite a
bit in one load to make it even cover the fuel cost. Ally is similar
but because being light, you still need a fair load to get anywhere.

Copper / brass has always been good and it pains me to see plumbers
and sparkies running large quantities of obviously brand new gear in,
often as a way of nicking cash out of a job at other peoples expense.

Not the same as a plumber taking away an old boiler, cylinder or old
imperial fittings and covering his expenses etc.

cashing service on the same premises

I thought it had to be seen to go into an account?

I left a car battery in our front garden the other day - about an hour
later my wife saw someone making off with it. Round our way leaving
anything out front is a sure fire way to recycle.

For both of the two that I got rid off, they sat for a month or more
outside the front door until I got round to a tip run.

I moaned bitterly about some stuff being delivered on a pallet which they
wouldn't take away with them. Thinking I'd have to break it up and take to
the tip. Being wet, I left it in the (small) front garden. Gone the next
day.

The legislation explicitly permits non-transferable cheque or electronic
transfer.

Funniest thing is an armchair we put outside, which swiftly disappeared.
Next weekend the kids and I went to Brick Lane market and the kids
spotted the armchair and started playing on it. The bloke then tried to
sell it to me for £50.

Should have told him he can give you £50 so you dont report him for theft.

That would seem to be the common way.

Sorry - I think it is very irresponsible:

Others take your lead and all sorts of stuff appear on the front making the
area look a mess.

Those who take it will fly tip the unwanted parts.

They will contaminate land with fluids.

It encourages undesirables to keep driving past looking for stuff..

That wasn't such a wet thing to do.
