    I'm trying to find some local businesses that buy scrap metal. I've seen an old thread on here about Boyce Mulrooney on the Tramore Road or Ballybricken (?) I don't have much, just a few kilos of copper, a bit of iron and whatever metal storage heater/washing machine cases are made from (tin?) but I don't want to be ripped off all the same. If any of you have 1st hand experience of any local scrap metal dealers, I'd love to know who's good and who to avoid! Anywhere in Co. Waterford will do. Thanks.

    I'm already nearly an hour from Waterford City so Ballycarney is too far so any info about Waterford dealers (city or county) would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Is that 15 cent??? There was an article in the Irish Independent a few months ago saying that copper is €6,500/ton which is €6.50/kilo. I would imagine metals like steel, aluminium, iron would be a lot less. I think the place you mentioned is Boyce Mulrooney's.
