Commercial cooker - scrap value
Discussion
Hello esteemed internet-perverts,
I have, at the bottom of my car park, the old (and I mean old) cooker wot I removed from the kitchen on account of it not working in the manner to which I am accustomed. Now, it is, as a cooker, useless and beyond economic repair; being held together, as it is, by 25 years worth of grease - however, it weighs a lot (3 burly blokes struggled to move it on a pallet truck albeit on "rough" terrain). My question is, should I be looking at paying to have it removed what with scrap metal now worth more than gold plated saffron? Or would a quote of £30 be about right for a local (circa 10 miles away) firm to send out a lorry with a grab to take it away from me.
I hope this question finds you well and you and your family are succeeding with the therapy.
With fondest regards,
Mr I N Quirer.

Scrap Iron/frag feed is currently £110 per tonne down my way
So if scrap is fetching £110 per tonne and he's been offered £30 for a cooker, where's the 'laugh'?They are having a giraffe!

You seen many cookers knocking on 1000kg?
I got a tenner for a rusty old lawnmower and now useless mini spare parts out of my dad's shed last weekend. We had to take them down ourselves, but the scrappy was next door to the local tip which is where we were going to take them anyway.
So that's about 60miles of juice for the barge!

He has been quoted £30 quid to take it away.You seen many cookers knocking on 1000kg?
He has got to pay them.

Leave it in a prominent position,it will go all on its own...
My brother had a skip on his drive a couple of days ago as hes having a new kitchen fitted.As there was some spare room in the skip he decided to clear out his cellar and put about half a dozen old kids bikes in.When he came back to the skip an hour later they had gone.

That's what I do...
It's also how a mate used to get rid of unrepairable TVs that I had stripped for parts to repair his less knackered ones... it never seemed to get round that the TV on the bench opposite the flats by the lights would always be nothing more than a shell with a screen in it
