I have gathered up over 60 kg's of lead whilst renovating my house, does anyone know what price I will get at a scrap merchants and if it is a good time to sell (as it is with copper)?

At a rough guess you would probably get about £1 per kilo.
I seems to go up every time I weigh stuff in. Copper was fetching £2 a kilo last time I took some up, but that was some time ago.Behind every great man is a good womanBeside this ordinary man is a great woman£2 savings jar - now at £3.42:rotfl:0 -
Just got back from the scrap yard.
60p a kilo, 65 Kg's in total, so £39.0 -
all metals are getting good prices now. cause of the china effect.
hence metal theft has gone up by a huge factor. churches & railways are having a big problem right now.
copper is very expensive now.Get some gorm.0 -

I'm afraid that some people seem to want other people to do all the work for them keystone.I can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.0
