Scrap metal values creeping up again
V8MoneyPit:
Just dropped off a load of aluminium swarf and it's up to £350/tonne. Only a few months ago it was right down to £150/tonne but has been steadily rising since.
muddyjames:
maybe it is time to take in my few bits of metal inc a couple of car / caravan batteries and a car cat converter. Any money in what I have just mentioned?
Also where does "one" find thier nearest place to take it to?
burgerman:

I will never forget when my Dad removed one out of our house decades ago. He couldnt get it down the stairs so hit it with a sledge hammer. I will never forget the way it sounded like a church bell and he was just vibrating and the bath was stil in 1 piece. So funny. :lol:

james your local is probably Daventry but not sure,
cats give a bit of money, but you are not allowed to transport batteries unless you carry signs and have a licence, a friend got done the other month, after taking all his car batteries down the weigh in and had a £2000 fine for that, he got stopped by VOSA to have his tank dipped for red derv, then VOSA told him they had to check his load, lucky he didnt have his brothers Van as thats run on red (used off road and registered as limited road use)
