Weighing in copper

[23vc]

I’ve got a few years worth of old copper pipe and fittings to go and weigh in. So far I’ve cut off all the brass/compression fittings and got them in a separate pile, leaving a load of copper pipe which only has end feed/solder joints. Any idea if that constitutes “clean copper” and is worth more, or would I need to cut out every endfeed joint for that?

Sounds like a faff. Are the gains worth it?

Fill the tubes with sand and knock the ends over.

I’ve got a good amount of the stuff, and shedloads of lead, so deffo worth the trip I reckon. Weighed a far smaller amount in years ago and got maybe £70 ish.

Here in London they pay for clean copper when there are soldered joints.

Brill, that’s what I’m hoping

I'd check with the yard first. #1 copper in the ones 1 use means no solder, paint etc.
