Im a bit out of touch because they don’t have iron yards over here like they do in the uk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NEWKID 26,231 Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Let my old man have all my scrap now, he comes round the sites in his van and clears it for us, keeps him ticking over and he enjoys the crack with the lads... Was always beer tokens working away, had some good lumps from Ali and lead over the years.. Prices aren't bad at the moment I dont think, steel over £90 ton last I heard...it was £80 down here not that long ago... not scrapped any lead for a while though 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOMO 24,911 Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Yeh I thought it was...I recall scrapping a car at a breakers yard..a good few year ago and getting a bank transfer.... just wondering if it was different at a regular scrap yard Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I weighed 2 car battery’s in about 3 weeks ago an got £12 for them…..looks like your gunner have a nice little pay day mate….my guess is £285 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THE STIFFMEISTER 14,581 Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 I was getting 110 for 4 of those carts batteries 2 years ago , no idea or metal but I reckon most guesses have been a little low so far . there’s not far off two hundred bar in batteries alone there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
