Model Forum / General / Models / May 2008scrap iron/steel prices
It's a good idea to keep an eye on this chaps. http://www.letsrecycle.com/prices/metalsPrices.jsp A few months ago ferrous scrap was about 4p a kilo and hardly worth selling. It's gone up 50% in the last month alone and is now about 23p a kilo. More than 1/4 of the price of aluminium. That scrap car you have lying on the drive is now worth £230 a tonne. An old car engine is worth £25 and even an old steel car wheel is about £2. I'm keeping an eye on it for a bit before I cash in the several hundred kg of engine blocks and heads I have lying around in the workshop but at least they're worth six times what they were last year. I expect them to be worth even more next month.

Hammer to fit. Weld to join. Grind to shape. Paint to cover. http://www.workshop-projects.com - Plans and free books - *Now with forum* The best I could get round here for a scrap mill I had last week was £160/ton - seems I got rooked compared to the prices listed. Lowest offer of three was £120/ton BTW.

Having just bought a flamefast furnace I thought that knackered K series engines could be a good source of scrap!
