Old chimney lead flashing - what to do with it?

[Rollerball]

I recently had a chimney removed and opted to keep the old lead flashing (I'm beginning to wonder why) - it was a large chimney so there's a fair amount of it. What are my best options? Could I get any money for it?

Was thinking of getting it picked up for free by a local scrap dealer.

Any other ideas?

Your best bet is to weigh it then look up the scrap value of the lead online and then you can either decide to take it yourself to a scrap yard and provide your ID & address etc and weigh it in yourself or invite a scrap man and either give it to them or sell it to them so you both make some money on it.

Last time I cashed in lead scrap it was £1.25 a kilo

Thanks for the info.

I scrap all worth metal usually because I have a large facility near me with calibrated scales and prices on a board.
It's worth it if you don't have to go too far.

It will not be worth a lot .
To much news saying that scrap lead is worth a fortune . It's not , unless you have tons .

Well I'm thinking (Scuba) divers weights...

Many clubs have a mould.
