Is scrap copper worth anything nowadays?

Hi, We are just in the middle (well, perhaps not yet in the middle) ofredoing our kitchen in our much hacked about house. I have removed awhole load of redundant copper (and lead) piping and a hot watercylinder from the roof space which had undoubtedly allowed generationsof plumbers to send their children to private schools and to skiingholidays in exclusive Swiss resorts. Is it likely to be worth the trouble of cutting up to fit in thecar to sell for scrap? What sort of price /Kg would I get? (Should Iremove fittings or just leave them on?)Cheers,William.

Those bits of pipe you're using, would they be 15mm or 22mm? :)

8, 15, 22 (and probably imperial equivalents) + lead.

Only the 15/22 stuff give a decent dong... The lead is particularly bad :-)

Cheers,

William.
