Title: scrap?
Post by: sv130 on July 09, 2009, 08:27:11
 As we seem to have a lot more "tatters" plying the streets again, has the price of scrap gone up?
 Or are they just unemployed trying to make ends meet :grin:

 Whats the price of scrap by you?
 Its £105 a ton in Great Bridge at the moment for steel. :drool:

If I go to the nearest scrapyard I can get £85 - £105 a tonne (depends on the day) and if I travel a little bit further afield and all the metal is clean (bare chassis's, old bumpers, ect) I can get up to £130 ish.

TBH that's not bad :-k

Last year some of my mates were buying cars form salvage auctions and weighing them in for a profit, but that was a spike in the demand as China stockpiled steel, £100 a tonne for mixed scrap sounds a good price on average.

Got £85 a ton yesterday for a disco shell and general light iron in Brierley Hill, I haven,t seen a scrap wagon for a week up here, until yesterday when I was loading the trailer with MY scrap then 6 of them came round within two hours.  I swear they can smell it and want it :drool:
