Is a scrap sink worth anything?

helpdad · 21 Sep 2019

I have a lot of copper and brass to take to the scrappy. I also have a S/S sink, single bowl. What I am struggling with is space in the car! Is it worth squeezing a sink in, having to remove my grandsons car seat, which is a bit of a hassle.

What can I expect for the sink.

Cheers

At approx. £550/tonne probably not!

Thanks. I will get weighing. £5.50 per Kilo?

£0.55/kilo

Worth checking if the merchant takes stainless steel - you don't want to drive all that way just for a couple of quid!

Thanks. I have a load of brass and copper. But might be worth a call to save effort of making space. I assumed all scrappies would take SS ?

I always hunt around the house and garden when I weigh in my scrap - an extra bit of steel covers my fuel to the scrap yard - last time I found one of those old 56lbs weights.

Make the brass and copper as 'clean' as you can.....pipe with olives or whatever still on makes the metal less valuable.
The scrapper will take the SS 'off your hands' but its worth nowt.

Put it on Facebook marketplace or Gumtree. Someone will want it and likely pay more than scrap value.
