Scrap prices

[Tonycane]

Anyone weighed in any scrap brass/copper recently? What are the prices like? Need to clear the shed

Yes, - I took some scrap 2 weeks ago and got £2.65 kilo for copper, £2.60 for brazery plus a cylinder, £1.65 for brass
Sadly the trend is downwards. Chinese aren't buying much

Be glad your not weighing in ferrous it's down at £40 per tonne and batteries (lead acid) are down to £300 per tonne from £400/£450 last year

A man after my own heart, nothing better than free money, even though it's not as good as it was
Now and again you come across a nest of old offcuts under a floor (the older thicker walled copper) it's like Christmas:carolers:just can't leave it there

Oh no you have always got to be a good little plumber and clean it up for the customer I don't belive I have ever left and scrap on any of my jobs

Not too many I use F&E tanks in my garage as storage boxes so always remove them but larger tanks have being known to be left but always dry and clean

price has been pants for yonks. wont get any better for a while.

on the plus side a bundle of 15mm is below £50 so cant complain

 

[Tonycane]

Very true, damn China's crumbling economy!

Nothing better than doing a combi upgrade, stripping out the airing cupboard and discovering 28mm copper overflows up in the loft! It's amazing how nimble I can be over the joists stripping out spidge!

I Got £2 a kilo for brazery last week

 

[Tonycane]

Copper £2.45 a kg

Yes its rubbish at the moment, i'm weighing in steel but stockpiling non ferrous for the price to rebound.

Give it another 50 years and we will be weighing in our plastic pipe!
