Weighing in scrap metal?!

(1/6) > >>

marky:
I've never taken any scrap to be weighed in before, but after a few renovations in the house I have a pile of metal and I'm sure its worth something. There's an old immersion cylinder, quite a bit of copper pipe, and a fair amount of electric cable. I was told a while ago that it's worth burning the rubber/plastic off of the cable, is this right and does anyone know how much scrap copper is fetching these days?

waveydavey:
Next to nothing, the price has nosedived recently; if you can the best bet is hold on for a few months

Tommo:
Still a fair bit for copper and the likes.

marky:
I've also got a mangled up Disco back bumper, radiator, front pipe with cat and a couple of batteries I was going to take at the same, are they worth anything or would I be wasting my time?

Mud-muncher1:
DON'T burn the cable is always better to strip it as it's worth more clean, but i'd agree with waveydavey, keep hold of it for a while
