    I have some scrap metal to be removed from around the yard.... including a very heavy old oven. Does anyone know whether you would need to pay someone to collect it? Or would a scrapyard buy it off you?

    Depends on current scarp prices.

    I know we collected a load over time and they sent a lorry out, lifted it all and the check came in the post.

    Similar to original poster, we have a load of scrap metal, mixture of steel, iron and lead from a 50yr old workshop along with an old stove which is extremely heavy. We contacted United metals in Limerick who said stove is worthless as it is cast iron. Sounds a bit weird to me. Anyone have any advice?
