I think a lot of scrappies will turn us away for scrap copper now as the Councils are threatening to pull their waste handling licences and the Police have been giving them warnings and visits not to buy or sell ANY cable or plumbing off cuts...this is due to a large amount of manhole covers, statues, door fittings and cable being stolen recently.....and newspaper and TV News assertions that this is costing the economy supposedly 70 odd billion pounds a year in lost phone usage/electricity down time/replacement costs...what do we do with the scrap copper now? well I can see the councils pulling a fast one here, you wont be allowed to bin it, you will have to recycle it or be charged with criminal waste mis management and heavily fined....and they will give you a copper skip/wheelie bin/roadside metal bank to put it into..." IT GOES IN THAT ONE THERE"......"THATS THE ONE FOR LEAD".....oh right bud I'll just move it over....then they will sell it onto the metal markets a thousand tons at a time (I see large brown padded envelopes becoming involved after that) I can see this happening...
