I have a collection of metal items to dispose of, one item is too big for me to put in the car, does anyone have suggestions if a scrap metal merchant would be interested to collect the items, a couple of places I called where not interested, thanks.

if it was round here, you would only need to leave it on show and the *****'s would have it away in less than 10 mins

yup, just leave it out, i left a rad by the front gate, was gone in a day
As said, leave it out, i left an old heavy boiler down the side of a house I was working in, they soon took that, brilliant cos I didn't wanna carry it up the drive on my own.
put a for sale sign up, it will go even quicker
or you could consider, equipment allowing that is, cutting it up in to smaller pieces that will fit in the car
If its big, but weighs nothing, they wont be very interested in collecting.
that depends entirely on the metal.. copper is worth more than steel so pipes and boilers etc they'll have away before you can blink, electrical wire too..
stripped bright wire is £3600 / tonne ( £3.60 / Kg )
unstripped wire is £900 / tonne ( 90p / Kg )
braizery copper ( which I assume is pipes etc ) is £2700 / tonne ( £2.70 / Kg )
Aluminium cans £645 / tonne ( 64.5p / Kg )
Col where do you get rid of your aluminium cans? The scrapyards by us won't take them. I used to take them to a mobile alcan unit but that's stopped and I still pick them up and I'm left with bags of the things.
