if its like around here your going to get around about the same price no matter were you go so may aswell just go to the closest/easiest to get to place.

Hmm dunno, seems to be a mix of prices.

Just wondering if anyone has one they know is good prices, if not I'll just take it to whoever offers the most after phoning round a few. Which yes IS the answer but I'm lazy.  :grin:

Ring around on the day you are all loaded up and ready to go then get it down to them. Also try work out how much weight you actually have. Keep plastics/rubbish/wood out of if, or at least visible or they simply class it as 'contaminated steel' and try fob you off with 2/3rds of the price.

Cheers for the tip.  :smiley:

Will strip the plastics out and put all loom wires and copper etc in seperate bags then.

Just burn all the plastic and wiring then sling the metal in the shell.

Do this at your own risk too, the smoke is thicker and blacker than anything from wiring  :lipsrsealed:
