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.

    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.
