Cool Result

I bet it feels good to have your drive back again

Got £70 for the last shell I weighed in .... That'll be why he had a big fat roll of 20's

That said, I recently let someone on the knock remove some scrap batteries & light iron for a small fee.
A lot less hastle than loading it all on to the trailer & trowing it off again at the scrapyard

Yea, it was £120 a couple of weeks ago apparently and currently local scrappy are paying £80 a ton so yea he would be happy. He said he takes batteries if I ever get any, and alloys as he gets something for those too.

Like you say, saves the hasstle. The local scrappy did come today to take away a scrap golf I had as well, easy but theres nothing in you back pocket for it which is a bit annoying considering you know what they are making on it.

small point,

"you need to be a registered waste carrier to carry more than 5 batterys in a vehicle that are not part of said vehicles operational systems"

one of my engineers got a £230 fine just 3 weeks ago.

Your lucky getting paid for it! Over here they always give you less. The attitude is if you dont like it take it to the mainland yourself. I will one day when I get a trailer again (on the look out by the way if anyone has an Ifor or brian james for sale?)
