Pics? Probably better off putting an advert in Freeads for them, for £50 or so. I've got rid of loads of odd wheels like that.

certain metals are worth more than others and its only the ones that are in demand that have risen

I mostly weigh copper and brass which has increased massivly

aluminium has increased abit, we dont even bother weighing old steel radiators or cast iron boilers we just give them to the scrap yard for nothing

scrap value's just dropped... anyone thinking steel is worth more than alloy, even mixed alloy is having a bubble tbh.


on a good note, i found about 20 rolls of roofing lead behind my workshop, which will be getting weighed in soon

yeah it has come down a bit, a few months back we were getting around £2.30 - £2.50 for a Kilo of copper, if we had the patients to save it till we had a ton we could have took it to the docks and probably got aroun £3.00 - £3.50 a kilo for it

we got £2.10 on Friday
