I wish I could work out a way to turn scrap copper into ingots that I could then stow away for my retirement.
£5500 of beer/digger tokens on the trailer yesterday, and one was only half full.

Shame they're not full of beer instead

Think 1000l of clean copper tube is worth more than a 1000l of beer? Not that it matters to me.. Money goes into the bank and gets divided equally amongst the team . Apprentices will have more money to waste on beer next month!

Dumper gone. Phone been red hot for that all day.

Much interest in the Tak? Seems a sensible price.

No way! Have you been to the pub recently?

Yes nearly as much interest as the dumper. Deciphering the time wasters and the low ball offers. Got a few want to come and look at it so we'll see.

Not at a London pub price that 1750 pints at a tenner each you would be well away

£3.50 for Guinness in my local social club But yes, pubs are dear. I was assuming wholesale prices at 1000l container size

At £5.50 a pint would = £9,678.647 per 1000 litres

Copper isn’t that great at the moment but no signs of it getting better. My buyer has been unwilling to take it for last 18 months so we ended up with a lot backed up . We usually have about £6-7K of scrap a year and I like to see it gone very regularly as I’m always wary of some pikey helping themselves. Will keep it gone more regularly in future.

What sort of price do you call great?
Weighed a load of non ferris in last week and got these prices per tonne pro rata from the dealer:
Heavy copper £5,400
Brass £3,300
Copper tanks £45
Did that with my 14 year old grandson Jack, teaching him the value of scrap metal.
He loved it 'cos having handles and sorted it all for me I gave him 50%
So our small pickup truck load paid for a tank of diesel and an ice cream each
