I worked In Portsmouth dockyard in 2009 and they asked me to clear out a compound. I noticed 27 solid copper bars which were about 5 foot long and weighed 105kgs each.i got £9450.thst was my best one especially for a freebie
I remember stripping out an entire Data centre UPS system and lead batteries. There was 550 40kg batteries, and miles of 1200mm2 single armoured cable, UPS systems and transformers that was about 10 years ago, and we got 48k, split it equally between all my staff, even the admin staff that never helped, as we are all one team

Oh man I miss those days, my dad was a scrapoligist , we did a job in fort McMurray alberta Canada, oil company abandoned a plant and built a new one a few miles away, my dad picked up the job for a song , they took all the moters etc...but left miles of #1 copper in the ground, we hook up a loader and pulled and pulled, 22tons of wire that was in the eighties so we got about 75cents a pound not burned....in today's world wow...I literally burned 100's of tons of copper back in the day.
1500 for the lot? sounds like someone doesnt want to be sat on that.. abit hot? :D.. tasty bit of profit prob best haul video ive seen on yt.. mint me being a greedy fker i would of kept this right quite tho no way im letting boss man know i got a 13k score off 1500 haha.. 100% wuda got a armour cable stripper for this tho they about 250-300£ for a decent one.. makes light work of steel casing the ally would of been butter.. gd vid mate
Large transactions with partners, You should split the invoice 50/50 just incase King Charles wants his Tax Money, You would be stuck with the full amount, Next time do some live wire stripping
Your ex boss if watching this might be saying ,,,hmmm next time I’ll take it to the scrap yard myself. I don’t think I’ll be advertising how much I made if I’m in the business of buying the copper. But anyways well done 👍
YEAH , AN IRISH GUY WENT LOOKING FOR COPPER WITH A METAL DETECTOR AND WAS 7 FEET DOWN IN A BIG HOLE BEFORE HE REALISED HE WAS WEARING STEEL TOECAP BOOTS.
Good haul. Reminds me of the time I did an electrical job for a government owned enterprise, we had to use tinned copper multicore cables, the only available source for the cable was themselves from deep storage, so we wrote them a cheque for 20,000 which we had allowed for in the tender. The cheque never got processed, when we enquired they informed us that they were not permitted to accept revenue from hidden assets and that the 20, 000 was ours. Boy did we have a party.
That’s a good day at the office …nice one ..my wife asked me what I was watching I said Rhys’s big load …that got her attention …she even walked over ..well waddled over ..she had a look …not what she expected …then went back to the couch to eat wotsits
So you dump the cable insulation you strip from the copper, but isn't the thermoplastic insulation worth 1400 a ton? You're missing a trick dude, you should be finding a buyer for all that insulation you strip
@project shop can't actually believe you have seen this video lol bee watching you fir a while now I'd love your setup to be honest I just love the chance to be able to buy as much cabe as you do lol keep up the videos mate love em 👌👌
Cuz people like the way it looks? HAHA its cuz copper is the cheapest and best conducting material for electrical, and the supply isnt infinite... Sheesh . Sheesh
Love watching folks hustling making a dollar (Pound) the honest way. Subscribing to your channel amigo … It’s 7:30pm over here so …Cheers !!! (while taking down a few shots of whiskey) … P.S. Much luck with your RUclips channel …
Holy shit. My man you give me some inspiration lol there’s money to be made just about everywhere.. working a dead end job at a grocery store trying to get through school right now I’ve been having to get creative lmao this is just the inspiration I need good shit lads!!
Nice one, I stripped out all the old telephone exchanges in the late 70s 80s loads of platinum points the metal that tap with each other when people was dailing there phone at home, hundreds of hours smashing copper out of old phones, but now the old phones are worth more, great old days I was only a teenager at the time but my friend dad was scrapping and we took all the old led window sashes waits out of the old houses in shoreditch were we live best days of my teens.
A tip for you, is old switchgear, its all coppar bars and the heavier the ampere is the heavier the bars is. To change those old is gold, for the one who do that waste thing, When we use to replace those old bigger switchgears we always told keep the cooper, and they did that for free, and earned the dollars anyway, I used to pay anyway in the day but the cooppar is youres, see the oppertonity Now because everything needs to be modernized, cool to see that and good job , best wishes! Rock on
Lucky that pricked finger didn't come with a broken foot if that lump landed a little left as well as no gloves, no steelies lol. Good score though guys
Unfortunately the scrap business is set up to screw the customers!!! I’ve scraped so much I’ve become good friends with the yard and don’t have to strip it anymore due to the owner telling me when the copper gets to the yard all of it stripped or not goes thru a cutter that cuts it in 1/8 inch pieces and goes onto a conveyor belt that vibrates and the casing goes off the edge and the fine copper ends up at the far end
Ahh tin plated copper ive been had a few times on the especially when it has the thick rubber xouting in between if you have a good razor you can cut all of that off,then you have like a but of 0 guage barw bright otherwise its a pain in the aas,but damn nice haul inseed 👍
Who in their right mind would let all that go for £1500? If it’s in bins ready to be stripped someone knew what it’s worth surely. Good on you though, laughing all the way to the bank.
Im a spark myself and i can tell you that the sheer amount of time it takes to strip armoured SWA down to bright copper is extremely labour intensive especially if you haven’t got the correct stripping equipment. I have let similar amounts of scrap go to guys like this as i just haven’t got the hours in the day to be stripping it. Fair play to these boys for doing it though as there is good dough to be made.
@@Bcfc-rv7yi I'm a sparky, I wouldn't let £8500+ worth of scrap go for £1500 that's for sure, no matter if it took me a few months worth of Saturdays. You can get an industrial grade stripper for a couple of grand brand new and strips it like butter.
Nice mate tatting is best job u can have I love it I wish I still was at it Havant got driveling license so wud so I’m trying save up to get van and driver lol
That's an amazingly good profit for a few days work and a little investment. I'm thinking you need to have a good contact or two to get a deal like this.
When a did scrap back in the day always kept the little stuff like your eye lets huge big fuses motors and stripped them at a later date seen at stuff as rainny day money when it was worth the time cause nothing else lying around sort of thing lol
£1500 for all that seems to good to be true who ever sold that knows fuck all about scarp they could have got a skip there them self and got 3k as it stood
Holy crap that’s a lot of money! Where do you get all this stuff? Like how do you find so much scrap I’m from Northern Ireland so won’t affect your buisness spilling the secrets lol
Its so good to see Proper People doing a days grafed not pissing People off your a geezer if you ever need any help kev kev kev kev kev kev kev it sounds böllloçks but im on your side im crap at i t be lucky plus be good if not be good at it sorry för Spelling kev
I’m new to the copper thing. How do I get loads of it? Can someone tell me the best places to go? And also what has copper in it I bet my roof and drain pipes has copper in it I’m going to strip my own house

I suggest you invest in a decent pair of steel toe cap working boots, Rhys. That brass fitting you dropped was a near miss and a wake up call.
I had a brass drop on me hard and took my entire load and it was a costly mistake and a wakeup call
You don’t need toes
I once stayed in a hotel..and got a…wake-up….call.
I am here to do a wake up call for someone..
I used to have an aunt that would help me come too in the mornings, she would scream "wake up paul"
The bloke who sold you that must be shaking he’s head watching this video 🤣
Holy cow what a haul!! Lot of folks would be hyped to get a heap like that, myself included! Definitely pays for a cable stripper at the very least 😁
Nice one bud thank you buzzing to see a comment from you I love your channel its taught me to strip a lot more scrap out than what I did before
Thub sure a nice haul EH

to brighten copper thats burnt like that put it in a cement mixer with some sand. shines right up
