What scrap do fencers and landscapers produce, and is it worth collecting?
Short answer: Fencers and landscapers produce old fencing wire, steel posts, gates, mesh, aluminium and steel edging, irrigation fittings in brass and copper and old garden equipment, and it is worth collecting because it is often bulky and steel-heavy, but small quantities of brass and copper fittings should be kept apart because they are worth more than the steel around them.

Posts, gates and mesh are heavy and straightforward to sell in a large load, as long as concrete and timber are removed.
Brass and copper fittings
Irrigation fittings and taps are small but valuable, so a small tub for them is worth having.
Remove contamination
Concrete, timber and soil add weight but not value, so knock them off before the material is weighed.
