I know this is kinda thread is an everyday occurence
just spoke to my dad whos just weighed a few bits of scrap out of his garden and he reckons they were paying £222 a ton? said he got 70 quid for the bits n bobs he had about.
Now my dad is one for exagerating but he knows i have got a trailer full of scrap waiting to go in the next few days so surely he wouldn't be stupid enough to talk bull about that?
sound anywhere near right?

 

yer thats bout right my cousin took a fiat coupe shell full of scrap and 2 cats made him £300

 

I scrapped a set of 4 15" alloys no tyres got £24

 

Ive got a mk3 astra i want rid of and called my local scrappers they said they are paying £130 a ton for cars.

maybe i should remind them when im there its got 5 alloys a cat.

Does anyone know what a mk3 r reg astra 1600 roughly weigh's??

should i be sneaky and fill the tank up with water or sand or summat lol

 

Good luck.
I recently scrapped an escort estate and only got £60 for it.

I think people paying silly money are the exception rather than the rule.
I tried several places locally and some wouldnt offer me anything but a 'free collection'. Thanks but no thanks..

 

there used to all those tricks they spot and dock money off not worth the hassle an astra will prob make bout 230 ish

 

if you've got access to a trailer, take them in seperatly, whip the alloys and cat off and sit it on its belly.

deffinatly take the cat off though but take it at a different time in case they decide its not worth 130 a ton without the cat.

i've got the pink pug (in my sig) thats been rolled 4 times, had the roof chopped off and filled with scrap metal, and the engine, box and suspension dropped off, wonder what that weighs?

 

they had your pants down mate
