Transit tipper brigade bought an old safe from me years ago. First thing they were going to do was stop off, and fill it with soil, before taking it to the yard.
Bless them.:ROFLMAO:

I find EMR prices better than most, but charge for bins,
Think I was ripped of recently by a certain yard in the Fens, not EMR.
weigh bridge tickets, had been made up, to the point that the time on ticket was before the scrap was collected, and weight was over two ton out compared to Lorry weight,

I'd be sorely tempted to complain to trading standards or are they the sort of scrapyard owners who would come looking for you?

Thought about it, having been told afterwards that they were dodgy, but rightly or wrongly, didn't want to rock the boat untill i was paid, or might not have got anything,
Don't know where honesty has gone these days.

You'd be surprised what ends up in the scrap, old x ray machines are a favourite, not just out of hospitals, a lot of factory process uses x rays

I got caught on copper n brass, I'd weighed it before taking it, assumed the steel scrap I took in would be ok as I weighed in and out, but then thinking about it its a different weighbridge on the way out :unsure:
