Straightline 0 Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 copper gone through the roof at the moment, been changing £300/tonne per week. At mo selling for £5k a tonne. But all metal prices are good. China is importing scrap from everywhere to sustain their steel economy hence the prices. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jonesy 111 Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 I dont know were your getting 5k a tonne for copper but let me know the best ive had this year is 3675 this in north east might be worth my while travelling.Ive done the scrap for ages now im not getting as much now cos everyone with a pick up or van is at it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rabbithunter 456 Posted July 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Copper, I believe is at an all time High, due to the mexico copper mine (largest in world) workers going on strike. Its also got a lot to do with china buying anything they can get there hands on. Start saving lads, bit of extra money at crimbo time the last time i weighed in SHEATHED COPPER CABLE i got £157 for 225 kilo's. which isnt bad considering its sheathed ANy old drums of cable with only a few meters left, it all adds up, a lot of lads at work tell me its not worth it, i even keep 6 inches of 2.5mm softcore cable. Well, im glad the scrap-man doesnt tell me its not worth it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
