Hang on to it...stick it in the shed/garage until the times right. I've done the same...when it comes to building your still it'll be waiting for you. ;)

You could always weigh it in, £2.40 per kg of copper round my way, the people who fitted the combi at my old house took my old hot water tank without asking, I didn't think at the time until it was too late :(

A couple of years ago,I was in a scrappy,watched a shipping container being tipped on end,poured full with copper scrap,then mounted on a lorry,weighed,sealed, seal photo'd and sent you know where.
