Default Mild steel scrap price

hi,

whats the average you get for 1 tonne of mild steel?

My dad said i could take all the scrap from his place which is about 3 tonnes just want to see if it will be worth taking it.

i know places will prbs differ but an just looking for an average

i also have approx half a tonne aluminium aswel so i think i wll be weighing stuff in...its not a car or owt so do you think it will be worth more as they dont have to employ people to take all the plastic off etc.?

i have clean( non rusty) mild steel- i will take that then take the aluminium so it doesnt get classed as mixed metals...is that how it works?

wy not just throw it in the boot of the car next time you go to fill up with petrol and pop past the scrappy on the way there? im sure the 68 quid will fill the tank better than a kick in the nuts

its graded differently as its an "impure" steel

them metal boys dont miss a trick, guess theyre so sharp having to deal with pikies all the time. i saw one transit come in fully loaded with NEW 22mm copper pipe, theiving b£$*£&"£s!!!! they told them to go away and rightly so!
