Anything non metal and non sell-able goes either in the bin or to the tip (dependent on size) then as with Grunt I hoard it then weigh it in. Probably got around 400kg of mixed scrap in the garage and garden at the moment but the price is on its arse so it can stay till the price goes up again.
Tom I know what your saying about certain stuff not being worth weighing in as a 10kg boot lid at about £100/tonne will get you a quid and that wont even cover your fuel but it all adds up. I even throw dead nuts bolts and washers in a bucket, anything metal at all and I seem to create a reasonable amount of copper and wiring. I don't go to the scrappers unless I'm gonna come away with at least £50
