Take no less than €220 per ton collected. Our footbal club just made €25k with a small local collection.

Nice one - I'm currently assembling a stock pile myself, though I hope prices don't follow the current stock market:(

I found National Recycling in Churchfield to be the best for prices over the years.

reilig · 10-08-2011 9:28am

Any of the buyers around here are offering that price. National Recycling from Dublin bought ours but Wilton Waste ion cavan came close to matching their prices. They gave us €500 per ton for batteries. We got approximately half of the metal dumped in turbury bogs - scrapped cars, old boilers and cookers, washing machines, dryers etc. I found over 40 used lorry and tractor batteries on a piece of bog that i own. When the guy who dumped them heard how much we got for them, he came to me demanding money for them. Ha! Tough luck sonny . . . . you gave up all ownership of them when you illegally dumped them on my land. Copper is also worth a lot of money at the moment!!!

blue5000 · 10-08-2011 2:12pm

I'd suggest holding on to copper at the moment, AFAIK no new sources of copper have been found on dry land, even old under sea telegraph cables are being taken up because of the scrap value. China is stock piling copper at present. Yer man dumping batteries had some cheek ffs

For scrap cars , you would get about €150 p/tonne . - So for instance a honda civic would weigh about 800kgs = value € 120 .

Whereas a Toyota Carina would weigh about 1100kgs , = value € 165.

You will be given a certificate of destruction , and keep this and make sure the cars are crushed .

I know of a car that ended up on the road once again , after been sold for scrap.

Aenaes · 02-02-2013 1:09am

The price fluctuates. Scrap in general is down in price at the moment, I think aluminium is around 80cent per kilo. It doesn't sound like much but it's worth gathering up and hanging onto especially if you have easy access to a decent amount of it. Just make sure it's alright with your workplace.

tomscrowd · 02-02-2013 3:00am

So a kilo is about a bag of sugar.. i think i might be able to get a few kilos.. might be worth it alright..thank you..do you know of anywere in dublin..have ya been in such case

Very hard to predict scrap market at present on world markets it is around 4-5K/ton this is as low as it has been in 12 months has been as high as nearly 7K/ton. It like any other thing you trade in prices go up and down. Often wonder if it drops a bit always near Christmas as tradesmen gather it for Christmas slush fund

enricoh · 28-12-2013 2:14pm

i know a lad who's full time in scrap n he was telling me dont bring mine to the scrapyard in december/january coz they drop the prices then every year.
every fella is scratching for a few quid for xmas or skint in january n loads up what he has then.
another tip - if u have a decent bit ring up first for price per ton. thats what i did last time n the lad weighed it n was putting down e100 less per ton aluminium than yer man quoted. oh yeh - also watch the scales like a hawk! the crowd in my local place are iffy to say the least!

owen85 · 04-02-2015 9:37pm

Anyone know how much id get for a fridges compressor.?

Nekarsulm · 04-02-2015 10:48pm

About €170 per ton weight. Half a ton €85. Carry it in under your arm, nothing at all.

Gunnersonny · 18-11-2016 1:09pm

I have a 16 year old Potterton oil boiler in my Utility being replaced. Is it worth the hassle of bringing it to a scrap yard? It's heavy enough alright, but not sure if the metal is of any value.

All metal is valuable as you get paid by weight. Give your local scrap merchant a ring as you may have to strip it down into different parts for weighing purposes.
Dont give it away

Under legislation scrapyards/establishments accepting cars and other vehicles for destruction must be licensed.

Nekarsulm · 18-11-2016 7:51pm

Was in the local scrap metal/recycling place in Cavan during the week, and the lad there took a phone call from a woman in Cabra, who had a little Opel she wanted rid off. He told her it would be collected by 10 am the next morning.
was surprised they would go so far for one car, must be a few eurp profit in them still.....

allthedoyles · 18-11-2016 7:59pm

here in the South East they collect from homeowners etc and usually offer nothing to take away , so best bring it yourself and get paid at their yard.

As you know I would be up and down the M3 several times a week.
Often seen scrapyourcar.ie recovery vehicles on it and they ain't there to look at the scenery and buzzards along the way

Wouldn't be my first choice of scrapyard to pick up a part from. Lots of others in the area that IMO are more helpful, with pleasant staff, cheaper and have a better returns policy.

Nekarsulm · 18-11-2016 9:53pm

This was Felix Gormleys . Send a truck to Dublin and back would be probably nine or ten gallons of diesel, he would want to be getting a load of them.

scrapyourcar.ie is Felix Gormley.
Often seen their lorry heading East to Dublin on the M3 loaded with cars on board. I presume there is active trade with different makes/models between Counties.

Through the floor I would imagine with the slowdown of economic activity.

Even the ethnic favourite, copper, has gone down, new cabling tends to be fibre optic.

My electrician was telling me he went down to Crossdoney with wire offcuts and old wire he pulled out of rewire jobs. Gormley quoted x price on a Friday
He went down Saturday morning , weighted in and out. Price paid was 1/4 less and Gormley charged him weighbridge charge

Went to Wilton the following week with the 2nd half of it and got the same price Gormley quoted and no charges for weighbridge
