What is the price of scrap cast iron?

Question

I have some scrap cast iron. I recently changed my old victorian

drain pipes, and have about 70kgs of scap. Is it worth anything?

And if so, where can i sell it?

Answer 1

I'll give you a tenner for it.

Answer 2

You have two options.  One is to sell them to an architectural reclamation dealer and the other is to sell them to a scrap metal dealer.  You will find both of them in the yellow pages.  

70kgs is not a huge amount for iron so you may need to take it to a scrap metal dealer yourself.  If you ask them to collect it, their charges for such a small quantity will seriously reduce the amount that they pay you.  Generally minimum qty for collection is 1 ton = 1000 kgs

Answer 3

Ask a pikey he'll take it off your hands ( probably your arms as well ) so be careful !!

Answer 4

Cast iron scrap metal is worth around $490 per ton.  Prices fluctuate so you can try www.scrapmetalpricesandauctions.com for current pricing

Answer 5

You might make more selling them to a reclamation yard as an original decorative front piece for a conversion, as scrap the going rate is around 150 sterling per ton of steel not too sure about scrap iron though.
