Scrapman said to me, he's normally not paying out for cars now, no money in it for him

He has many other strings to his bow though, rents scrap skips out, sells part worns, bit of servicing and repair, flogs a few motors, council contract for collecting dumped ones, and rents out storage, shipping containers

My V reg ex Police dog van bit the dust, at 80, on the M62. Fortunately got towed home by Green Flag. Not worth the cost of repairing (gearbox goosed plus all the other things that need doing before the next MOT), so it went to the great tranny resting ground in the sky (Widnes, actually). £200.

Won't be buying another ex police van.

But I did keep the 5 dog cages for my next van. Got quoted £2000 plus for building similar cages in a new van.

Those figures i gave are for mixed scrap, mainly white goods like washing machines, cookers etc.
