If I ask the window fitters to leave my old aluminium windows & door, but whip the glass out and take just that away, is that bad form?

Seems a bit cheeky to me, I was thinking either take away or leave for me to get rid of glass & weigh in myself, but opinion of another tradesman (who I value opinion of) didn't see the issue.

The £100 weigh in or whatever would be nice, but just feels a bit off asking them to just take out glass and take away.

(No tradesmen battering inferred, great local firm and they'll be drugged with bacon butties & a tip, just don't know what's expected with such a request, or even if it's [i]that[/i] unusual)

To be honest unless customer asked to keep then in the can they go for the Xmas weigh in for the knees up. But that's how I do it and how I got taught. Scrap goes in pot for Xmas doo for everyone.

..£100 weigh in...

That's almost 300kg of window frames, how big is your house!

Let them take it all away I reckon. Not worth the hassle.

Current scrap value of aluminium aside, it was the 'acceptable' element of the 'ask' I wanted a view on, from those with knowledge!

It's acceptable, no problem with that.

Unless taking the glass out takes a long time and adds to the job) can't see why it would though)
