Metal Recycling
Currently in the UK, scrap metal recycling is a growing industry. Scrap metal dealers are currently able to get good prices for certain metals, so if you have any unwanted metal waste lying around, rather than paying someone to dispose of it you could get paid for a dealer to take it away.
Whether it be Copper, Aluminium, Lead, Brass, Copper Wire, Iron or Stainless Steel - there is demand for it.
So rather than letting your scrap metal go to landfill, make the effort to have it recycled and you could make a little money out of doing so.
