Default Old brake disc - scrap value?

I have 4 x old brake discs - is there any scrap value, i.e. weight it in for cash?

Or there is no value at all?

Probably less than the value of petrol it takes to get to the scrappy with how petrol costs!

£270/tonne is what I was told for that metal the other day. So if you have 10kg - £2.70.

I'm sure they will check the carpet/seats before they weight it in...

Hence the windows been broke but up north they seem to pay it know a few folk that have done it but added the odd bit of scrap inside it.

They oviously have a rough idea what it should weigh
