If you put UK scrap copper prices into your search engine you'll find plenty of information - I just did and found that copper in bulk would fetch between £1000 and £3000 per ton, depending on what form it's in (cable is cheapest).
I would imagine that you're going to need to find someone who's willing to buy your two carrier bags worth. You might make enough to buy a pint or three...

With commodity prices so high there's been a resurgence in cable and lead roofing thefts. Visited the wonderful High Bradfield church a couple of months ago and some thieving ******** had nicked all the original lead downpipes.

Bramalls opposite SWFC will do it.

Don't try to just walk into a scrap yard with a couple of carrier bags, they won't take, they will assume you have just pinched it. You need to have a vehicle so they can take the registration number.
