Has Aluminium gone back up yet?

I got about 60 alloy wheels to weigh in. They were offering £900/ton last time I weighed some in then it dropped to around £200/ton, lol. Although I think they were still giving near double that as they said they wouldn't get any business if they didn't.

Also I got 5 or 6 cats to weigh in, but want them to be worth at least £30 each if I do. Last time I weighed some in I got between £30-£90 a piece depending on exactly what they were

Still a bit low then. On the rise though for the wheels. Would have been less than that 2 months back. Cats didn't drop all that much.

Will wait a bit longer.

I got my erst shell to get rid of. Got no front wheels (and will prob take back wheels off 2 before it goes).Its completely rotten and only things left that i was gonna sell are the doors and boot.I have filled it with a load of rubbish (old heads ,bits and pieces of crap) and was gonna get one of those collectors to just pick it up and take it away.Got to wait for the number plate to be transferred over to my cab 1st tho before it goes.
