Scrapped a 2m offcut of 254 X 254 X 73 UC the other day.
Current job we are erecting needed 3 new 500mm stubs making, due to customers surveying error............... guess what size !!
How much do they cost?

Scrap price for steel is only going to go up but this isn't actually an offcut. It is clearly a component part and all I have to do is nail the exact make/model/manufacturer. It's not the same dimensions as the universal column mentioned above. I think it's an "extreme loading lintel" complete with the sheet of 12mm steel plate they should come with.
guess what size !!
I've got dozens of the buggers, all galvanised. Loads of projects
How much do they cost?
Managed to buy a 4m offcut , which was £190 (+ VAT). New brackets made , and a 2.5m offcut left ( hanging on to it until the jobs finished this time)
What is the scrap rate these days ??
What size (kg per metre) were they?
Scrap rate is half what it was a few years ago, barely worth hauling to the yard. Will most likely double over the next few years, might even spike post Brexit.
One of our skips went on Friday, an 8 yarder, 5T in it, £840-00
This takes the off cuts from the saw and guillotine, so a mixture of stuff.

Would have paid money for a rummage in that skip
