Whats the scrap prices in your area ?

[JD6400]

I have got to get around to doing another scrap run soon as it did not get done before Christmas because of the price drop !
The trouble is finding the best price , I find if you phone around they can vary by as much as ££££s per ton for bright within a 10 - 20 mile radius ?
And how one yard will give £££s per ton more for house hold but £££s per ton less for swa and bright compared to the one literally next door to it .
What are others finding the price's like for bright and house hold around the county ?

do i need a waste carriers license to drive my car 1 mile or less
for old coloured T/E on the drum as i have loads lol
or should i just get stripping it and park round corner lol and walk in like the scallys do before april the 1st

i have been meaning to take it as i last took some bright copper from some swa i had and stripped
for 15 kilo i got £55

Well worth stripping if you have the time .:yes:

 

[brucelee]

may call in and ask what they are giving was about £4 a kilo last time but that was last yr and i know it fluctuates a lot and there is another bit further that gives more

 

[JD6400]

Phone around mate , it is well worth the trouble if you have any decent quantity .
And let the buggers know that you phoned first when you get there or you will get a different price to the one quoted , it has happened twice to me now !

The best price I ever seen around London:
EMR
They have a lot of branches in UK.

I get about £1.60 per kilo for household cables and £2.00-2.10 for singles, but is was few months ago.
Worth to check prices before go anywhere as they have phone numbers on their website.

Todays prices on EMR:
havy copper tube: £4.37
singles: £2.20
household cables (t&e etc.): £1.72
