scrap copper

[michael c]

personally npk i would play this by job as some customers will be happy to pay, others may decide to get rid themselves and will probably want to take the scrap too.

I don't mention any charge for rubbish in the estimate, I just add a cost on to pay for the clearance costs. I always state to remove and clear away when pricing and if anyone queries me removing the scrap I tell them that I've taken the scrap value into account and this offsets the cost of rubbish clearance.

The waste licence was paid for by one scrap run.

I had a quick look at the web site looks like you got till dec 13 to get a licence. Bet it starts at £150 then goes up. From what i can make out every workman needs one so in fact its a tax on working people to be able to go to work.

You can get a cheque with no name on it, then take it to a shop that cashes cheques if you don't know a scrappy who still gives cash.

What a crock the 'new laws' are. Just seen a bit on the news this morning and as of today 'you will be paid by cheque UNLESS you are of no fixed abode'. Really clamped down there on the people they need to.

so dress like a hobo and make a few trips to the scrapyard.

im from South Africa & scrap is a BIG business here.

i also do it when im not so busy on the plumbing side.
at least here they only ask for ID- no licence stories(hope it stays that way)

Try not taking it in your van. That way it doesn't seem like trade waste.
