Title: Off to the rubbish yard tomorrow - guess the cash amount?
Post by: Neil on July 04, 2011, 06:28:42 PM
I have been clearing out my old coal sheds today that I use for storage, and so my father and I are off to the local Cardiff scrap yard in Woodville road to weigh in a few items - along with the last 3 years lead and seperately the copper/brass finds.

I have a rough idea what I'll be getting, but any guesses out there?

Heres a photo or three to help! :)

I'll report back tomorrow evening with the cash amount. Closest to it gets a large bottle of Indian Tiger beer!

Neil

I went off to the scrappys this morning and the correct amount was £58 cash!

The winner was Pipster - I'll bring the beer next time I see you mate!

It just goes to show how much prices have gone up in three years - last time I did it was about the same amount and I got £28!

Keep you lead, brass and copper guys. Its good for the environment to recycle it, stops us dumping in hedges or bins and gives you a few notes in the process!

Cheers - a £60 richer (he rounded it up as he had no change!}
