Hi all

There are ways around this - Talk the Talk and Walk the Walk.

So some of my tips - (please do not abuse them though)!

You have to get the right person on the site and suss them out and also most importantly give fair prices - all things are worth money, even scrap.

Old men bought BMX for their kids, and younger workers may have rode grifters, choppers, bmx etc too, they are not dumb - so play fair! Would you risk something for £5? Get the notes out and let them do the talking!

Many methods work and I still get many bikes and items this way.

You could ask a local scrap metal person to purchase all the bikes, then buy direct from them (most refuse sites have regular buyers).

You could set up your self and get a license to buy. This is quite easy.

You could wear a hood and jump the fence (ladder and then sheets over the wire) and rope the bikes out.

You could have a word with the site manager / workers and they can get you the items out at closing time (there job is to move stuff).

As much as you are led to believe, most of the CCTV is not 24/7, so you need to visit on weekdays (NOT WEEKENDS) and 5 minutes before closing, this way you are last there and can get in and out quickly.

Do not haggle, look to much at the item (look for damage, dings etc). Take a gamble and get going ASAP.

Hope this helps, this and more works for me!

Nothing can be taken for FREE, this is theft. Also most sites have a Salvage Licence, so you can buy!
