PS copper is still fetching good prices but if you are replacing the heating system you will probably find your plumber/heating engr will be claiming the scrappage for those. A copper tank can fetch about £40.

Over £3/kilo for copper at the moment!

Wish I'd have bought a load 5 years ago when it was £1/kilo.

They bloomin well shouldn't! :eek: Maybe OK if agreed upfront and offset against what they charge you, if you can't be bothered scrapping it yourself.

When we had central heating installed & full rewire, I took all the old pipes, water tank & cables to metal recycling - made approx £150. Not exactly a lottery win but helped a bit...
