|!Yes, we're very careful about sorting - except for ferrous metals which at |!the moment aren't bringing a huge amount. Copper, brasses and lead are |!valuable.

Agreed my neighbour did the sorting and I got GBP 2.15 per kg for uncontaminated copper, slightly less for copper with solder contamination and less for brass. Still IMO a lot of loot for small quantities of rubbish.
