"Light scrap isn't even worth that. Last time I went to the scrap yard with heavy clean scrap they offered to "take it off me" " I called a local scrap yard to offer my daughters old car for scrap they said they wanted £40.00 to come out and collect it with no payment to me,they said if i drove it in i would get around £15.00 for it. I must admit i see lots and lots of scrap out side peoples houses now with it never being collected, we used to have 3.....4 a day come round here in the past. I wonder what copper and brass is fetching now .....bet its not a lot ???. | |||

I think they have to be licensed now don't they?.. And show 2 forms of ID.. I'm sure I watched a programme about it a while back... Maybe that's why not do many any more? | |||

You have to have a collectors license for the area you collect in and dispose of your metal and also a waste carrier license to carry the metal.Your motor insurance should read "waste worker" and not be private. At the scrap yard you can still get a cheque for your metal made out to the person on your driving license and utility bill. Most foreighners use " cash converters " who charge 20% to cash the cheque. .. They took my petrol lawnmower once from side of house.. Got it back...

In the past "travellers" were traditionally scrap men who came round and took away any scrap metal.....now even they have given up. Lets face it @ £20.00 a tonne ....thats 20 washing machines take in to account diesel to pick it up maybe 2 guys in the van over heads and a chance of a puncture at the scrap yard there isnt much left out of that £20.00 is there.

"You just dont see scrap men anymore gone are the days when you would see two coming down your street from both ends. Its probably down to the fact scrap is only £20.00 a tonne so making a washing machine worth only £00.90p in scrap. I suppose we will see " the scrap man " vanish like the old milk carts. " Now if you take scrap to the yard they pay you into a bank account and no other way so that has stopped every workshy bloke with a pick up un roadworthy van from collecting it,In Newcastle there were hundreds a few yrs back and now only a handfull,they collect from the lanes after the filthy students move back south and then take there wares to second hand salvage. Now its rags the majority collect and those of us that put our unwanted clothing in the bins believing the proceeds go to charity are sadly mistaken...We personally know 2 millionaires who deal in fabric waste only and employ hundreds. | |||

"Recall a grand parent talking about "rag and bone men" , are they the same as scrap men or something else?" Sililar. Rag and bone men would take anything they could re sell or mend up for a bob or two..clothes furniture or whatever.. I imagine if there was a bit of scrap lying they'd take it too. | |||

"Every day without fail they are round by me. Must come 4 times during the day. If any skips are about u can see them rummaging. They don't knock to see if it's ok. I have noticed they won't take fridges cos they can't get anything for them." | |||
