Current price of scrap metal.?
« on: 16 January 2009, 22:09:35 »

Ive had a bit of a clear out and now have a few bits of what id call scrap metal i need too get rid of.

First is an industrial work bench made out of incredibly heavy angle iron (i assume) must weigh 60/70 kg at a guess...along with a heavy heavy and large vice 10/15 kg.

Would these be worth anything too a scrappie...no idea what price is now days.

Or is going too be a skip jobbie.

Just had a quick look round the net, thought it might be interesting to get some current scrap metal prices.  Couldnt find anything worth posting.

2 Years ago I scrapped 6 carlton alloys and I think I got £80.  Would hate to think what they are worth today.
