Morning all.

We have some old and battered saucepans and woks etc, not good enough for second hand/charity shop use. Just wondered if anyone knows how we can get these recycled; front of house green bins/recycle bank/council collection?

Also while I'm at it, what's the deal with all the Christmas trees left out in the street. I presume these get collected?

Ta.


James.

If they are metal, surely they can go in the blue bin regardless of size?


If you phone the main council switchboard they will put you through to the right department, but if it was me I'd just put them in the blue bin :)

Do you know if this kind of place also deals in relatively small amounts of gold and silver, or if not where would be a place to take it which will give me a fair price?


It's basically old and broken jewellery.

All I did was google Scrap metal SE London. Googling scrap (melt) silver prices gets me:-

where you can also input gold weights. Remember that you will need to know what carat (purity) your gold and silver are.

Thanks. I've got absolutely no idea. It's stuff that's been kicking about for years.


I assumed they must have some way of telling!

Silver and gold are very often marked - you need to research the marks. UK silver and gold will always be marked. Most continental gold (and silver often) will have some type of marking, such as 18, 14, 9 which will tell you something about them. Jewellers will also know. A touchstone will tell then quickly whether the item is gold or not, for instance.

Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
