JoeBlann Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Hi fellow fencers I have just finished removing 140 meters of stock netting and barbed wire a very bodged fence with old wire and then some more wire added for good measure, I now have a pile of folded stock netting and rolled barbed wire. Do you guys use skips or will the scap merchant take it I have had no luck with our local scap man as it is wire, Joe Blann Fencing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontrowfencing Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 We have a skip in the yard and put it in there. If it's anything like half decent and you can make it look tidy, we put bits in the local auction, folks pay stupid money sometimes for old rubbish!

Goaty Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 I've never had issue leaving it on farm scrap piles or taking it in myself. I've seen steel shavings and all sorts accepted at scrap merchants. Word of caution. Legally you need to register a waste carriers permit. You can get the lower tier one from E.A or pay about £150 for 3 years. https://www.gov.uk/waste-carrier-or-broker-registration Scrap yards never ask me for one though.

huwevans Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Leave on farm where possible, but if have to clear from the site we make a small charge for hassle of clearing and itemise on the bill. Then leave a pile to accumulate and take into local scrap merchant, not as good these days no cash all has to go through books. any good stuff use for patching work At least this way were not out of pocket for removing waste.

West Fork Fence Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 All the hens around here love a nice rusty barbed wire wreath. I save it all up until round Christmas time, and make them all happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premnayloon Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 ther scrappers have a bloody cheek, if they take the good stuff they have to take the not so good stuff too. i dont dispose of old wire usually the farmers have scrap skips themselves, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
