Well gold is about £26,123 KIlo at the moment,so is a slight differance,however now what you mean ,prices are great at the moment,turning into a nice bonus after a few cylinder removals,do,nt leave any old copper in place any more

imho

Last week I fitted a new hot water cylinder for customer. Someone broke into loft (tenement) and pinched old tank. Water feed was'nt turned off, tank was ripped out. Water damage to 2 properties. Desperate times and good scrap prices!

Yep same here only just a length of 15mm for me , must be desperate times for some scallies. I 'm just going to use pipe carrier for abs from now on , can't see the price of that rocketting up anytime soon.

i just shove it in the van transit lwb, but my mate who uses a rhino just leaves it unlocked, as he says 'at least they wont wreck the carrier when they take it'.
funnily enough, hes never lost any either?.

I've always scrapped my tut. I used to get stick about it from my father & brother (both plumbers)....now they routinely bag up their's and weigh it it.

I did a job once, where it was an old unvented cylinder made from very thick guage copper. It took two of us to load it in the van...the client was so relieved that they didn't have too shift it themselves!! HA HA!

I always leave the scrappies feeling happy - it's a nice little kick back - and we need all the help we can at the moment.

[Puddle]

[REDSAW]

taking scrap from customers is theft and illegal to transport in your van unless you have a waste disposal licence, so i leave all mine with the customer////...

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

yes i bet you do red you must be a good Samaritan like me

 

[REDSAW]

oh yes, especially all that 20 thread....
