hello everyone , I have been [ for some time ] collecting used aluminium cans for various charitable causes and this time intend to donate to 2 --- 1 of which being thyroid uk ---- I would like to ask if anyone would care to donate 5p [ or more ] for every £1 that I raise for thyroid uk -----by doing so we could maybe double the donation .......the current price is 40p per kilo and I have between 800-1000 kilo's ......I am certain that with all the help that we all gain from this site the funds would be able to help even more of us and to continue to help us as we struggle through this decimating illness with sound advice and superb empathy and to point us in the right direction......if you would like to help with this please contact louise warville at admin she will keep a list .....and I will be posting updates within the next week [ it will take the scrappy at least 3 loads to uplift them ]...... thank you for your undoubted support in this ......alan

I'd check other scrap dealers, here we get £500 per tonne, youre losing £100 per tonne at that price. Scrap metal prices fluctuate quite a lot, always make sure your getting the best deal rather than stick at one dealer at a set price.

Sorry cant help you raise money though we have none to spare

[alangardner]

hi there suzy , thank you so much for your reply ....... I certainly do check many local dealers prices before collection , but I have to allow for collection costs [ with this one 5-10p per kilo ] ---- but I am still trying to convince him to waive that as he will be completing the cheques for CHARITY ==== I am not known as the haemaroid for nothing ==== please bare in mind the costs to the dealer of collection drivers wages/fuel/ cost of vehicle as well as running costs ...... because there is more chance of finding a jewish pope than myself getting this damn lot to them under my own steam .......and whatsoever is raised is always a bonus ......please don't think about not being able to help on this occasion . I am certain you will if as and when you are able to in the future . alan xxx

Ah yes, forgot about transportation. We always take ours.

[alangardner]

just think about taking 5-6 hundred sackfulls !!!!!! [ 98% have not been crushed down ] ----- petrol costs alone let alone the hassle ====== i'm all for a somewhat easier life !!!! .... LoL alan xx

Thanks so much for posting this again Alan. We really appreciate the time and effort that you are putting in to raise money for Thyroid UK and your other very worthwhile charity.

I'm just really sorry that no one appears to be interested in supporting you.

In case anyone is interested - this is how it would work......

So if we work on 800 kilos at 40p that would be £320.00 with £160.00 going to Thyroid UK. You can match this like this....

per £1 Your Donation

£0.01£1.60

£0.02£3.20

£0.05£8.00

£0.10£16.00

£0.15£24.00

£0.20£32.00

£0.25£40.00

£0.50£80.00

£1.00£160.00

It would be wonderful if anyone would consider supporting Alan and Thyroid UK.

Thanks for your time....
