I've demolished my old house and in doing so collected a few piles of scrap metal, lead, copper, electric cable, cast iron and other mild steel. it got to the stage where I needed to get rid of the scrap, so a mate suggested ringing one of the Northwests largest scrap merchants for a price, they process around ten million tonnes of scrap per year. This would give me a price bench mark. I then phoned three local and one not so local scrap merchants for their price of each of the following type of scrap. My bench mark for lead was £1.53, the best price locally was £1.26 and the not so local price, £1.49. My bench mark for copper was £4.34, the best price locally was ££3.02 and the not so local price, £4.02. My bench mark price for cable was £1.50, the bst price locally was £0.77 and the not so local price, £1.43. So I took my scrap to the not so local scrap merchant and weighed in 27 kilos of copper and 213 kilos of lead, so my shopping around put an extra £62 in my pocket.
