When we were there waiting to get in with our cast iron, they were moving hot water tanks around. Stacked about 10 on the front of a fork lift. And they were contantly back and forth with loads :shock:

its that the copper type, if so average there about £35- £40 depending on the weight, i got a copper water tank from an old peoples home, it was 4mm thick and it was around 4ft and stood about 6ft tall, i cant belive they give it to me.it was 170 kilos, and £2.70 a kilo i was laughing, that was the insurance and tax paid for a year, haha
its getting hard as everyones doing it.
robert francis:
when i last took my scrap down, i done 2 runs and on the 3rd i only had about £40 worth on the van and coz i had been twice he already had my unloaded wieght, so he told me to stay off the scales and he would work it out from the previous weight,
i forgot to mention i had about half a tonne for a job i was on the way to, so i got paid for that aswell so a real good day was had, haha
