Default Price of scrap stainless steel?

As above,found a load in work yesterday and they've said they want it shifted ASAP and are in dispute with their current people(who I add pay nothing for it,just get rid of metal waste).

We've been offered as a department to come in unpaid to remove it and keep what we get for it so I'd like to know whether it's worth it between about 10 of us.

I know about waste carriers licences etc but it's not a huge amount and we can cut it down to fit in the work van plus our local scrappies 5 mins away,just don't want to be ripped off etc.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks boys,not as lucrative as I'd first hoped sadly!!!
Might let it sit a bit then offer to clear the lot and keep the profit for myself,can't see the boys working all day Sunday cutting and grinding etc for £100 each or so!!!

If you are going to use a grinder, get a good mask and do it in a well ventillated area.
It's cancergenic.
