If you can strip it out of all the wood frame and insulation and any fibre glass and plastics you can weigh the metal and alli in, but wheels will have to be removed, if you just want to get rid it can cost from £80 to £150 to get it revoved

If you cant do someone a good turn,don`t do them a bad one,its nice to be nice you know,and little things mean much more later in life.

Why not advertise it in free ads, you might find someone who breaks caravans for bits would be interested in it. As far as scrap value is concerned, it's making tidy money at present but the work involved removing & disposing of the rest of the materials might outweigh the value of the scrap.
Alternative would be to ask your local scrap man what to do with it, he might take it away for you.
Leave it on a motorway service site. It will be stolen within 48 hours, I bet. Or seriously, offer it to a local Moto Cross/Motor cycle club for free. If it is waterproof, they will perhaps use it for a lap scorers hut.
strip it down to its chassis and weigh it in you should get 80 quid for the ally the chassis can be sold for a trailer or weighed in as well another 50 quid or so.
we did one a few weeks total for its bits in bob we got 167 quid.
There is a racing forum called Ovalchat on there it has a for sale section it may be worth putting it on there as a lot of the Arena Essex banger racers use this forum.
thanks everyone, have found scrappies that will take it, said they will deduct a couple of kilo's in consideration of timber, if any left in it, will let you know how we get on,
Hi , took it to the scrappies who then decided , they didn't take tourers and thought it was a motor caravan ( funny how two people heard me ring them and say touring caravan ) then turned round and said they would take it for £50 , good scam or what ? so we turned round and left , was going to go for arena essex when a friend of my daughter rang his local scrappy ( who is closed because they are full ) and he agreed to take it the next day , didn't charge and we may get a drink out of it , which is better than nothing and at least it's gone off our drive , we can see daylight in our kitchen again now .
