where to get rid of beer kegs

[wizzbilly]

alright all

just wonderin if anyone got any ideas where to get rid of some empty beer kegs the garage had loads of them in where i have just moved was orignaly a old couples house so am asuming they used to do home brew or something i dont have a clue lol

i cant take them to the tip as they wont fit in my car and they wont allow me on there with a van

they have been sat outside the front of the house now for a while and the misisin on my case to get them shifted i left them there hoping someone might pinch them thinking they was full lol but no such look

any sugestions welcome got about 10 of them and there a bloody eye sore

many thanks

The brewery from whence they came!

just listen out for the call........









"any old iron" or dont they come around your way?

IM sure someone would take them to the scrap man. I mean hardly gonna make you a millionaire from 10 kegs.

[peaktorque]

Worth a lot as scrap!

Get some pikeys round.

[eldar]

Worth money as scrap?

Are they aluminium? Is there a scrap yard nearby? May be worth the trip (as long as it's not illegal and they really belong to the brewery).

You've never been to scrap yard before. lol.

You can take lead from a church roof with markings from a church and wouuldn't bat an eyelid.

If its metal you can scrap it

Recently got nearly £400 for a mixed load of copper, brass, lead and aluminium (all legal), the price of scrap has shot up in the last year or so.

make a BBQ out of one

[BB-Q]

They make really cool barbecues if you chop them in half and hinge them.

[wizzbilly]

well thats one got rid off just another 9 to go lol shame i already have a barbuque but worth a try

[Gaspode]

If you have them outside the house and no-one's knicked them yet, simply hang a sign on them: "Kegs for sale £20 each". That'll guarantee some pikey has them away before the ink is dry on the sign...

Our council will issue a 5 use/30 day permit for a van. Check with yours.
