  • Scrap metal run to a new scrap yard which opened just around the corner.
    Great prices and a much cleaner set up than other yards around.
    Scrap copper wire price is great and scrap brass is better than ever.
    Keep scrapping & Have fun!

    Great set up i must say ,very much like how we had ours over here in Manchester UK ,gave it all up when the father passed away and the gardening business he had was sold off 6 years ago .I worked with him during the summers over 20 years in total ,we soon learnt most peoples gardens have bits and pieces of scrap here and there such as electric flex off appliances .Every time we did the garden we went away with something or another , i saved all my wheelie bins full till just before Christmas time and used the money for my daughters Presents etc .Can no longer do it anymore due to where i live thesedays but great to watch others doing it still on here ,all the best Geoff

    Its been a little frustrating since Pacific closed its doors to anything from your every day scrapper.
    The prices they tell you arent what you ever get anymore either and i clean everything spotlessly.
    Hart have been paying the best for clean aluminium lately but they're very strict on it being spotless.
    I personally wont ever return to Manhari after they paid light pressing for 6 ton of hmg cut into 1 metres and refused to amend the price even after a manager said they did make a mistake.

    • @eWasteBen
      @eWasteBen  4 года назад +2

      no it's not, it's very similar in price, scrap yards a re paying based on 43% copper content, I know for sure most of it is not 43%, at best 30% and some probably only 20% or aluminium even, the only wire worth stripping is what would be called high grade wire, 60%+ copper
