Scrap metal collection
Discussion
Last time I had a skip someone came and emptied it removed all the scrap and put everything back in. This time I saved them the hassle. I have piled all the scrap neatly in front of the skip at the end of my drive. 24 hours later it's still there. It's all going in the skip later today and I bet so one comes an empties it out can't win.

Bit off topic but is a pile of car batteries and bike batteries worth anything? And a frame's worth of alooominum?
Ali is circa £770 a tonne at the momentBatteries are done by weight also
Large car battery is worth about £5
Remember to take photo I.D and proof of address (utility bill) payment is cheque or bank transfer now
Are you on any local 'buying and selling' type groups on the dreaded Facebook?
These sort of pages often have a couple of scrap collectors on them and people often just put up a post saying "washing machine and car battery outside xxx address if anyone wants it" and it's usually gone within the day.
I've found it quite handy!

Since the new laws were introduced collecting scrap as a 'job' is nowhere near as appealing. BlackLabel said:

Hopefully the thefts are down as well then.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
