Scrap Metal

(1/3) > >>

TechnoTurkey:
I'm in the (long) process of breaking my Rangie at the moment, I anticipate that in the future I am likely to be left with a pile of body panels and a chassis.

What is the best way to get rid of, and hopefully get some cash for, these?  Should I chop it up into manageable pieces and take it to a scrap metal yard or any other suggestions?

Cheers

You will generally get more if you sort it into different metals and chop it up into smaller pieces. A complete chassis is deemed 'oversize' scrap at our local site and they pay a little less for it. So I chopped mine up!

As above, also when I worked in the scarp game we used to have a free pickup service, may be a idea to phone your local yards to see if they do this.

TechnoTurkey:
Good advice, cheers guys.

Any idea what sort of return I could expect?

Not a lot at the moment! It has gone back up a little, but the dizzy heights of last year are now a distant memory!
