Weighing in copper

[23vc]

For anyone interested, ended up getting £280 for this lot which was way more than I thought so was happy with it. £54 of Lead, £85 of copper with brass bits, £140 of copper with only solder on it.

This place referred to the stuff with brass/chrome still attached as braziery, and the stuff with only soldered joints as heavy copper, whereas clean copper was brand new shiny stuff. Cheers for the pointers.

I'm always pleasantly surprised when I go to the scrapyard. Last time I went I expected £5, didn't think it was really worth bothering, and got £50-odd. It was mostly very low grade steel scrap with lots of plastic and rubbish attached too. Was totally honest with them, no hiding anything.

I'd only be taking it to the tip otherwise, just getting rid of stuff I don't want.

Great stuff - recycling, saving the planet and getting beer money.
