Anyone weighed in recently?

As anyone weighed in any scrap metal recently?, I've got a pile of electric motors off old pumps, probably a couple of tonnes. I've just rang the scrappy and they're offering £300/tonne, the last load I weighed in were £550/tonne. As the price of scrap almost halved in the last 12 months?

Even mixed has gone right down at peak 12 month ago it was £178 a tonne now its about £73.81 local scrappy is stockpiling / bailing it waiting for the price to go back up too many folk at it atm so little demand

Took some lead and batteries in the other day. Clean lead was £1000/tonne and batteries at £400/tonne. Some old water pipe discovered while doing some drainage and 10 years of assorted batteries. A mere £100 but not to be sniffed at

My motors can stay where they are for a while. Don't need the money so I'll keep hold of them for now.
