How can you combine your scrap with neighbours to make a pickup worthwhile?
Short answer: Agree a date and a collection point, ask neighbours and nearby properties to bring their sorted scrap, weigh each person's contribution before it is combined so everyone is paid fairly, and arrange one pickup for the whole load, since the transport cost is shared and a larger load usually attracts a better price and a buyer willing to travel.
