Server Rack recycling with pickup from premises for household not business - suggestions in Edinburgh

[Lartyconshayo]

I've obvs googled and there are some options, but wondering if anyone had any experience of using any. I can't seem to shift it even offering it for 1/4 of its original purchase price, but it has to go, so I'll need to recycle ideally as it seems a shame to just junk it. My issue is I need a service that will collect as I have no way of transporting given it's side and weight.

Post it on social media or other platforms and someone might come collect it for free.

If not do you have a local scrap men around in the area?

eBay, Gumtree, FB Marketplace ... demand is reasonably high for anything remotely useful/reasonably priced, i've driven half way down the country for a cheap rack before, someone in the area will want it, just price it realistically and it will move, unless it's literally rough AF.

What is the size and weight? Any pictures? I might be able to uplift it.

Not sure weight. I could lift it over threshold with my Mrs but lifting it up into a van might need three people total? It's about waist high. I can remove the shelf and the plug board, that would be how it arrived.

Thanks for the info. I can uplift the whole thing if you'll help me lift it in the back of the car (Volvo XC90, so plenty of space).
