Funny you say that, When I was serving my apprenticeship as a turner, the company I worked for precision turned,milled and ground all kinds of mental and plastic.

My former employer were having building work done and one of these so-called 'scrap metal' merchants turned up asking about brass, and some copper, they were told no they cannot have it.

Anyway the following day when we arrived at work a huge bag(them woven nylon type) was about a 1/8-1/4 full, mainly with brass bar ends of various sizes and also some swarf, was behind one of the gates.

They(there must have at least been 2) climbed over the gate, and part filled it and though they perhaps could toss it over the top, thieving toerags, talk about a comedy act.
