Copper Recovery From High Bay Lighting

  • In today's video I pick up some high bay lights from the service department of a dealership. Years ago I recycled all the parking lot lights and now they are upgrading the service center to LED's. Let's hope for some double copper transformers.

      Nice, unless the transformers are old or came from a government building they are usually AL and I just sell them as Iron/Aluminum

    Excellent prices on aluminum! 4.05 for #2 is what I get as well. $4.20 for #1! Might be higher by now!

    I've never seen that many xformer cores so tight. Your rig was really jumping, but it held in there.

      The ones with the plastic are always tough to remove the cores.

      Thanks, I plan on keeping this car as long as possible. I'd like to restore the drive train while the parts are available so I can get a nother 20 years out of it.

      You might get lucky and find a low milage parts car. You have a lot of old people in FL who don't drive very well. It wouldn't take much of a hit to total a 20 year old MB. You have 2 trucks, why not 2 cars.

    How do you get all of those cables? Do you need a special permit or something to be able to get them, and where? I’m interested in learning about this, since I do metal scraping and want to expand into this area.

    I always see you throw away thise big capacitors but as far as I know that is ironyally. You might want to check with the scrap yard.

      The ones in this video were all steel. I might start to save them and bring them to a different yard but most places around here won't take them.
