scrap copper

I think it kicks off cy*n!de, not nice, thats why they banned the foam ceiling tiles that everybody was fitting in the 1970's and early 1980's....and a lot of furniture foam which was present in old seats/chairs in Student halls in massive numbers that had been in them and not replaced since the late 1970's..they got rid of them from 2003 onwards...someone I know works in a plastics factory and the chemicals they use to make it are kept in several separate safes, in forced air vent/fan filled rooms, theres alarms and cameras and they have to count it in and count it out, sign for the amount used each day, and theres special licences they have to maintain to buy it, if they go through a lot a guy from the company that sells them it comes out and demands a meeting, and only about 3 people out of about 30 workers are allowed to handle it, and I think two of them can add/mix it in the production factory...anybody else even looks at it funny then the whole place would be shut down in a flash...
A few guys were helping themselves to scrap cuttings from work there to take home to use to light their household fires instead of firelighters and started giving carrier bags of it to their pals in the pub, then somebody said "eh is that not dangerous" and lifted the phone, when the owners of the company found out they went mental.....they are chemical engineers and knew what they put into the stuff to make it set...

Just took some bright copper wire (stripped cable) to the scrappies, £5.25 a kilo was what i got for it , not bad for a rubble bag of offcuts stripped.

Strange, as i was coming out i saw one of our firms vans coming in , Either he is in league with the management or he is very very very stupid as all the firms vans have trackers and they monitor their out of working hours use VERY closely , I have been accused of using their van at the weekend when in fact all i did was move the van round the carpark at the back of my house LoL.

was the same at the pyl*n.......and a certain rail company I worked at once.....theres two things you can do, as an experiment, with your "own" transmitter, either (A) pour a can of cola in it and it will break inside 2 hours as the PCB tracks will dissolve, or (B) reprogram it to dial an 090 telephone number each time it checks in to transmit the stored location/travel information...just for fun....with your own hardware....not somebody elses...

A few years ago I used to flog signal jammers for those trackers on eBay..... they stopped me selling them, though, regardless of the fact that they are completely legal.

£130 is a bit more like it ! And with prices as they are, wouldn't take many bags of nasty old cable to break even....

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...
