- Опубликовано: 20 июн 2024
- Can you guess the amount? Its bigger than the $12,000.00 we got the last time. Wow a lot has happened since we put out our first scrap video 4 months ago! Did someone get fired? We got a call telling us we are not allowed to film at the scrap yard any more. Taylon asked them why? Our total scrap at this place is in excess of $50,000.00 over the last 5 to 6 weeks. If we made $50,000.00 they certainly made the same. We will go somewhere else if we can't film..

If a scrap yard is concerned about filming, its a sure sign they are doing shady shizzit! Love your videos, keep them coming.
Wondering.
It's still their property they decide what goes on in their building. You can't make your own rules ....just because
@@jcbuckeyeno but you can take your business else where
@@jcbuckeye it is still public open to all they just have to stay within the safety factors the only place you cannot record is in the office aria.
@@KevinRagsdale-wu3vr false. Any business is allowed to make rules on recording on their property. You can stand on the sidewalk or any public easement and record from that vantage point. They have the right to send him away and he has the right to go elsewhere. They agreed and moved on but he shouldn't act entitled to it.
This is what makes America work! This is how you help the environment, make money, and employ a lot of people! I'm glad Dave is part of our community!
Wow now that's a compliment thanks for watching.
Helping the environment, lol their the biggest polluters like china ha
Right!
Dave: your doing something for mankind by exposing the scrap business. I'm thinking that only "60 minutes" could go beyond your efforts. There are certainly people barely making it, off of the streets picking at curbs and alleys. And the honest ones are still struggling.
Yep the #2 for the #1 copper is a crock.
@@removeitprosdemolition if it wasn't such a p.i.t.a i would have loaded it back up and said seeya your not gonna screw me over like that when i bring you so much material and if they can match the other yard price wise they for sure been screwing you over and making huge $ off you. they sell it for 2x more than they pay you or more and seems they were probably selling at 4x what they were paying if the other yard was offering 2x what they were
Y’all need to take your scrap to another yard. Cheers guys from Texas
We are moving into a new market, with Remove It Pros, our favorite yard is there, we will haul it up there soon.
I have helped a friend that his old uncle pass away in early 2000 , he was collecting all scrap value like copper , aluminum, catalytic converter ( not stolen, he was stopping at every garage to collect donated catalytic converters, brakes rotor etc …) the guy was doing it for at least 40 years and storing that material in the 3 barn on his property and in several shipping containers he bought over many years and in about 40 wagon box train , from time to time he was going to the scrap yard selling few hundred pounds to get money for the next couple months, my friend was his only designed inheritance person , there was over 6500 ton of copper , aluminum, something like 150 ton of catalytic converters, something like 1200 ton of electric motors , some electric motors was as large as a freezer, yep those 300 hp motor and up , we filled 8 30 foots scrap containers full of rotor , drum brakes and caliper, and I forget so many other things, several hundred rolls of fences , some of them was there from so long that 12 inches trees was growing literally through to rolls of fence , he never told anyone how much he get for all this but I guess it’s in the couple million.
What a story, that would be a fun story to tell if they have pictures. Very interesting, thanks for sharing.
Very nie job
Very nice scrap run. Thanks for taking us along
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching.
Having large lots gives you more negotiating powers. I drove 120 miles once when I had a big load of non-ferrous. And they treated me so well trying to get me to make it a regular thing.
We used that to our advantage this last load. Wonder if we are going to have to go to another yard? Videoing our activities is part of our business model.
Way to go guys I’ve been scraping for years made good money doing it love it
I sell to a few yards in NC, #2 copper is with solder or paint, they will grade it #1 copper even if its blued or a little dingy.
Thanks good to know.
Right bluing can go as #1 so can new shiny sheet copper. It's the solder and paint that makes it #2. Just have an employee go around and show you their prepared stuff so you can see what separates it for yourself. 😉✌
Same in Ohio
Great video really enjoyed this one. With the volume you’re bringing it’s nice to hear they’re starting to work with you a little more.
It makes the payday much better!!
Dave, I love how you guys bring order to chaos! Great to see how much stuff you’re keeping out of the landfills. 😁 (By the way, well done on getting right in there and sweating along with your guys. There’s no better way to build respect among your ranks! 👏👏)
Thanks 👍Appreciate the positive vibes!!
These are always interesting to watch thanks for the content and time spent creating these
Thanks for the positive words!!
Bro, I gotta say. 321 comments and you replied to every single one. Kudos. That's how you build a cult following! Awesome Logo designs. Keep up the hard work, Help is hard to find, and A hard-working boss man is even harder!
Thank you that's quite a compliment.
That video was awesome! Thanks for showing us what you do..Looking forward to watching more
Thanks for watching. We appreciate it.
I have the same business model as you, I do clean outs and save everything metal from the landfill. My volume is significantly smaller though, but you are correct in that getting paid going in is good and getting paid going out is better.
I have a book coming out soon on our different way of doing Junk Removal, it talks all about the little details that make it mor profitable.
I just found you guys the other day, and I must say, I love your videos & how you explain everything!
Glad you enjoy, see you on the next video. Dave
Agreed! I’m enjoying these scrap haul videos as well
Awesome, thank you so much!!
Sir although I am no longer in the scrap business because of disability! I'm one of those people who learned how many of the scrap yards operates. I know that this was a lot of work and saving for a while. I just wanted to say that this was the type of haul that probably made the true scrappers salivate the more of these types of videos will surely help your channel grow. Very good episode.
Thanks for the encouragement, we love bringing this content.
Another good reason for filming everything when you're getting all the different grades of recyclables weighed up is that you have a record on video of everything as it's being weighed up on the companies scales you are selling to.
Then if there is ever any dispute over items that company has missed you have video proof of said missing items being weighed on their scales with the weight shown of that item as well.
I'm new to your channel, and I like what I see of your operation, I have worked in the demolition scrap metal game for decades, you guys are on to it, you have a great bunch of switched on guys, look after them because at the end of the day they're a massive part of the engine that drives your business.
Cheers for the reel...deal...
One of the disgruntled employee let us know some stuff that goes on behind the scenes. Not sure if he is telling the truth. It really sad if he is. We don't want to go there we just want to recycle and get paid fair and film it for fun and entertainment.
Maybe invest in some of those blue carts for your company. I have seen Ben in Melbourne Australia who uses orange carts. He uses multiple carts for scrapping circuit boards. 😊
The problem I have is the space and the equipment to move that stuff around
I’ve never been to a scrap yard where I felt I wasn’t being screwed. When I have a bunch which is nothing like this, I take it in in separate trips. When you don’t have it all organized already and in that quantity it’s so easy for them to screw you
💪
Another great and VERY informative video from the Remove It Pros Demolition team !
😎
Thank you for the compliment.Thank you for watching
Glad to see you greatly improved on scrap day activities. Once again, money for the books and not the pocket. Now annual profits is a different story.
Never been a big scrapper, but most of the yards I've been to. Have always done people dirty. So it goes hand in hand while people do them dirty.
They don't want recording of it so nobody has evidence of where they ripped anyone off.
They really didn't seem to mind , its funny we asked three people about number 3 copper. That person was wrong they took in lots of copper at a reduced price. And now people are saying the copper with bluing is number 2 thinking we will go somewhere else next time.
@@removeitprosdemolition thank you for the time and response.
I don't blame you. It's a business. I'm glad you never made the reference or comment. But most people scrap for beer (or other addiction) money.
With the amount you are hauling in. You should get every penny you can. Won't promise it but some companies should be competing for your business and asking what they are paying so they can add a couple cents
Competing? You're probably 100% correct. We need to make more calls
Damn. Y'all really got ur sorting together quick... I'm still learning, but ur videos are helping so thank you. One thing I noticed is with that big motor, it may have been worth it to tear that apart depending how much copper is in it. But great recycling and thank u!
Thanks for the tip on the motors. We will check it out the next time we get one. Also, thanks for watching!!
@removeitprosdemolition - The general rule is about 10-15% total weight of motors is gonna be copper. Speaking of, what or how do u ensure that what motors you’re scrapping, are in fact copper windings, and not aluminum? Do you folks come across transformers very often too? Those can also be copper, aluminum, or both in one housing.
You and your guy's are class act. love your videos, hope to run into you as I vacation in Bonita twice a year
I hope so too!
Good job buddy ❤ you guys are killing it biggest scrap video to exsist now break your record next time score 50 k
Really you think this is the biggest scrap video that exists?
@@removeitprosdemolition i dont think . I know because you guys are showing living proof
Amazing! Thanks : )
I remember back in the 90’s Number 1 Copper Bright Scrap price was $6.97 per pound. I worked for an Electrical Company and my job was Warehouse Manager and we saved every copper cable, wire, etc. I made annual trips to recycle ♻️ center with a Semi-tractor trailer full of the bright copper. The biggest check I’ve ever had in hand was $3.2 Million dollars. The company scrapping program gave an even split of the scrapping funds to its employees as a Christmas bonus every year. This is reason why we never lost any employees because of this annual bonus at Christmas time.
Holy cow. That's so cool.
@@removeitprosdemolition We had our own steel bins with tare weights that stored the clean bright copper, the employees made sure 👍 the jobs were clean and cleared of all scrap, they bring it back in their vans and put them in certain bins, we had clean & dirty bins. Employees would either stay over or come in on off days to help strip cables for bright copper. We had a Flatbed Trailer and if we had more than one load, I’d make a special trip to scrap yard if too many bins were full. My electrical company had a separate bank account setup for funds from scrap. Come December, we would have a Christmas 🎄 party for the entire company, catering and gift exchanges, and everyone received a Bonus Check of equal value that came from the Scrap Program. I somewhat remember our Bonuses hovering around $15K to $30K for each employee, it changed every year. But it kept everyone onboard and everyone happy, our families were invited to the party 🎈 I do miss the company, it folded after the owners passed away in 2007.
Really very good job! much appreciated!
It would be great if you make video a step behind the scrap yard i.e how you collect all these scrap materials.
I will keep that in mind sir
ya i would not put up with thati would go some where els .IFTHEALL ALUMINUM RADS IMELT THEM IN TO BARS I WOULD LET SOME BUY IT . I WOULD STRIP ALL THE COPPER MYSELF ICOULD BRAKTHE COPPER DOWN WHEREIWOULD HAVE! THESAMEweightand less continers wire,pipe,tubeing thanks i like your channel✌👍🤟
WE are listening and learning!!
Great video Fellas
It is good to see you all working so hard and making good money
Change your money to gold and silver because dollars will soon be worth nothing
Maybe in days
You might be able to buy a house for 1 oz gold or 7 ozs silver
Metals will buy anything, food, petrol, rent, anything
That's excellent information
Those bus bars you can clean up and recover silver from pretty easily, but you need a very careful person doing it. 4 parts sulfuric acid to 1 part nitric acid. HAS to be done outside because it makes a lot of nitrogen dioxide that is very toxic. Submerge the piece and keep an eye on it until you start seeing copper. Rinse it in a bath of clean water and you’ve got quite an upgrade. Once you’re done with the stripping solution put some salt in (water softener sodium chloride or potassium chloride) and silver chloride will drop out looking like cottage cheese. Rinse it through a strainer with a coffee filter in it, and put it in a stainless steel pot. Add lye and stir until it turns black. Once it’s all black, add table sugar slowly as it’s going to get real hot, and that is how you reclaim silver metal from plated copper bus bars. There are lot of videos on of that show the proper steps, don’t follow mine - I just wanted to tell you it was possible so you don’t waste any time sanding it off like the guy at the yard said
Cool process something to consider for the future.....
Not sure they are coached to cheat - BUT - their goal IS definitely to justify a "mark down in quality" to pay you a lower price.
Been there many times - and they specifically do this as a matter of course.
It's kind of interesting to me. I don't believe that lying, cheating and stealing should be rewarded, but I don't know what to think.
@@removeitprosdemolitionthe first time I recycled plastic bottles and aluminum cans they tried to rip me off for $125. After they weighed everything they wrote me a ticket for $28 when I pointed out it seems a little bit low play redo my ticket at 151.00. I've heard similar stories from people who recycled frequently, if you don't watch them they will rip you off
Sad, isn't it?
Great haul fellas.
Thanks
My yard says due to insurance - no filming. But they are a very good yard!
Insurance?
@@removeitprosdemolition That's a cop out, they just don't want it to get out if they are operating in a unsafe manner if that's the case.
They can call it whatever they want so long as I’m getting the correct price.
Since they get what they don’t pay you the incentive to low ball you is there.
Impressive haul!
Yes it was thanks for watching
Good haul, my best was $4,100 in one over loaded Chevy pick up. That was at $1.00 a pound. 30 years ago.
Very nice!!! Thanks for watching
That’d be over $16k at my yard i go to nowadays!
@@6980869 I wish I had access to be able to bid to scrap out some big commercial buildings now days. 500 MCM the Good stuff.😃 I had feet of MCM in my two car Garage. Bring it outside,Nice stripping it after 10 minutes in the sun. Aunt Lillian didn’t like it there for a few months but she was loaded with cash didn’t understand that’s was Big money . I totaled out at $6,100 bucks but it did take a while to strip the smaller stuff. No taxes paid either. 😃 Have a good day and scrap On.
Anyone that scraps occasionally should be watching these videos to see how to maximize profit
Thanks for the complement.
I was plumbing for a company during the 1980's, I scraped enough copper and brass to pay my rent in Newport Beach, Ca. every month.
Nice!!!!
My first time seeing your channel! Really enjoyed it! You should hire the guy that was weighing all of your scrap,if it's possible. With that much scrap,you need a real expert,in my opinion.
I like that idea.
I learn a lot from watching your videos.
Thanks, I have lots of joy bringing them. We all have fun.

@@mikeappel5714 😇
You guys sure had a lot of copper glad you got a better price for it.
I am hearing form our community we got ripped off.
Great job and a hell of a payday
Thanks for watching
On that copper you were told to sand or wire brush clean. All you need to do is get a gallon of cheap white vinegar and heat it add as much salt as you can while hot till it stops melting the salt. Then that can soak or brush on and bam 💥 bright copper
Thanks for the tip
BUS BAR DOES NOT GET GALVANIZED, IT IS SILVER PLATED TO INCREASE CONDUCTIVITY
😇
You can't galvanize copper. I don't blame the guy for not knowing. You always need to be educated on what you are dealing with so you can't be taken advantage of.
Dave you are a nice guy talking to some younger lads around you.👊🤝🤝
Thanks for the compliment.
Great job guys!
Thanks 😊
I scrapped for 50 years. Most of the time I was treated very fairly. I'd love to work with you when I'm in Florida this winter.
Sounds great!
Sounds great!
I love yall video
Thanks for watching!! Dave
We use those buss bars at our electric motor factory. We silverplate the ends. I don't know what he meant by galvanized.!
Yes I thought it was silver too!
What a load of scrap ! stuff I dream about, You guys are big enough for them to come and pick up from you they need to supply you with some dumpsters and collect once a week once a month whatever is required. but then you need to build trust and make a contract deal with them each party says what you will and won't do. they cannot change the price on you and you will make sure they get what they are paying you for, good luck. I am just a little guy doing my thing in the land down under but I've been scrapping metals for nearly 20 years. Now i am starting off on a new venture making Jewellery
The problem is the trust. We want to be there while they weigh it because we don't trust them.
Scrap yards will rip you off as fast as they can. The new guy especially. I laughed when you guys told them what's what.
😁
Very nice haul!!
Thank you, and thanks for watching
We scrap at my job. I’m the store manager at a car audio store. Lots and lots of extra and used wire coming out of installs. Lunch money.
Good Deal!!
Buzz bars are #2 copper that silver color is silver plating, Great payday also give it your hard working crew, stripping copper #1 14 gauge is not worth it 12 Gauge is a bit better but labor adds up fast
With you on the labor portion!!
In the UK we have clean copper or brazed , dirty painted cordded just goes under clean
These guys don't play fair must not be regulated they can do what they want.
I've been turning in scrap for over a year and after the learning curve of how to grade copper, didn't really have an issue. A couple of weeks ago i brought in 21 lbs of bare bright, it was written down as 12. I disputed it, but it had already been dumped in with the shops. The next time i brought in 22lbs, they wrote off 5 lbs as tear. Normally that's 1 lbs for the bin i use, but they said the braded copper that was as thick as #1 wasn't "of quality for #1". Never had that before with them, figured it was because they shorted me and i called them out. This scrap yard i go to does record everything and we reviewed the disputed purchase, They shorted me it was error on their part, and I should have disputed it then, but it was their closing time that Saturday and we all wanted to get gone. So we settled up, they gave me my $40.00, I quit stripping anything that isn't #1.
Glad you called them out on trying to get one by you.
That is wild! Wow!
Amazing and fun
Ya i use to work scrap and iv never heard of number 3 copper it was always either dirty or clean.
You know, i've never heard a number three either other people on the channel have said that number three he has to do with sheet copper, real thin sheet copper or gutters
There is 3 different scrap yards within 5 miles of where I live. I am just a dude that will stop and grab scrap metal and appliances on the curb while I'm out, break it down if I know its got enough copper or wire in it to be worth it. I throw the scrap steel in my back yard and will haul a load of it off as soon as I have enough to fill the truck up. I have a 3 card sized garage and use one part of it to store all wire, copper, aluminum so on. All my non ferris. I only take that stuff in when I really have a lot of something and the price is great. I will just hoard it when the price is low. The funny thing is of the 3 scrap yards so close to me. The one that is probably the easiest to get in and out of and moves the quickest also happens to be the one that pays the least amount always. Because of that I will only go there under certain circumstances because I hate getting 4 cents a pound for scrap shred steel when I can get double that few miles away. The scrap yard that pays the best happens to be the one that I would say is the hardest to get in and out of. They pay more but they have less room and everyone knows they pay more so they are always covered up it seems and a trip there can lead to a long wait time just to get to the scales. The one that is in the middle on price kinda also happens to be the closest to my house so I end up there a lot. The only thing I hate about them is they are really bad to try and screw you in every little way. If you dont watch they will charge you for the lowest grade copper on ever bare bright. I mean you better pay attention to what they are typing in their computer at the scale because I have had them throw clean aluminum down on their scales and instantly type in dirty aluminum. If you catch it and say something its a quick oh sorry about that and they change it but if you dont watch them and say something they will screw you in a second and they dont care how much you bring them or how often your bringing it they will screw anyone. Because of that I really hate it. All 3 scrap yards close to me have good points and bad points. Sadly all have a good reason I would say to never go back but I gotta go somewhere. There is a few much nicer ones if I wanted to drive another hour out of my way that honestly are much cleaner and have better reputations and pay about the same but when you start driving farther out of your way hauling a load of scrap you begin running up your fuel costs and that cuts into your profit even more. So I end up just taking what I can get close to home. The scrap steel at times is like a burden to me as it piles up so fast for a scrapper. It pays the least and I haul probably 30 truck loads of scrap steel for every one load of non ferris. But while its time consuming, its worth it to me as each year I been doing it the last decade it really has helped with the bills. My advice is if you can keep the copper, aluminum somewhere for awhile. Call ahead before you go, prices on copper so on go up and down just like gas. I mean seriously I have taken a load of wire in before only to see the price jump a dollar a pound a week later. But I also have seen the price bottom out plenty also. Commodities just always go up and down. But you for sure want the best price you can get. No one wants to get screwed and yes all scrap yards are bad to try and screw you. They train their employees often to do that very thing. I have even seen workers at some scrap yards trying to cheat little senior citizens out of a few dollars on their crushed soda cans they bring in by saying that since a few of the cans looked wet that they had to deduct money off the price because the cans were wet and it added weight to them, which is bull. Every soda or beer can might have just a drop of dried up soda so on inside the can but these scrap yards will use stuff like that often to screw people as much as they can especially seniors or women!
I agree with all that!
Thanks for watching I understand.
Here in Texas that's no 1 the copper pipe that is 1/2 or 1 it's no 1 if you would smash all the pipe it's no 1 flat
Did you say smash it?
Yes if flat them it's no ,,1do all the time
Thanks for the tip!!
If you're going to do a lot of that dirty copper, get you a pipe cap it on one end and and have the other end where you can remove it have it to where you can put electric motor in rotate this horizontally. Place your copper in the tube put some sand in it and rotate it for a while it'll come out bright copper.
Also I forgot to mention if you'll do the same thing with insulated wire, build you a good wood fire and rotate this over the fire not letting any oxygen into the tank and it will charcoal the plastic.
Wait thanks for watching
The big dude with tattoos is a beast!
Yes he is.....lol
Great video, a lot of hard work involved though.
Yep its one of our profit centers.
Scrapping is such a game...took #1and #2 copper last week after they weighed the #2 they told me just to dump the #1 on top ....that tells me they sell it all together. The different grades are for them to down grade it
I am so confused. why would they do that?
@@removeitprosdemolition no clue
Scrap price is very high now my friends so lets get going good job everyone.
We have another very big load.I'm not sure how much it's gonna be, but it's a lot
@@removeitprosdemolition nice for you, keep selling before price goes down again.
i dont know what state your in but im in north carolina. i used to work at a scrap yard the only copper you have that should be #2 is soulder joints
the copper with green on it is #1 copper this place is ripping you off !!!!!!
That what we are hearing from all over the country. They don't want us filming any more, probably going somewhere else.
@removeitprosdemolition I used to scrap occasionally to help a friend, and I found a local guy who scrapped for a living to go with me. That's really the only thing that kept me from being taken advantage of. He taught me a lot, and I couldn't believe how much the yard was taking advantage of me before I gained a little knowledge. Now, when I go, I don't take any crap and the yard knows it, so they don't really try to underpay me.
I was gonna comment this same thing on another one of your videos! I’m also in NC and a lot of that stuff they’re claiming is #2 would easily be #1 around here. Also, “#3 copper” isn’t even a category. Sorry you guys have to deal with yards that are so dang picky. You shouldn’t have to argue with the guys this much to get the prices you should be getting. Great video though regardless
@@tannerwest6823 Thanks for watching and your comments.
Correct, number3 copper? What's that Super Brass 😂?@@tannerwest6823
I hope you give those guys a nice bonus from that
WE pay well and bonuses are for the key guys preparing!!
How long does it take you to get those loads collected in the barrels And they make electric stripping machines so you just feed The Wire into you said in best
It depends on what other jobs we have going on, but it's typically about every 4 or 5 weeks. We also have 3 of those stripping machines now.
WOW, just remember! PEOPLE don't change! If they were screwing you once they will do it again every chance they can! Take care!
I hear you!!
Do they check the motors at all to see if they're aluminum windings?
Not sure about that.
Stripped bright is £6000 a ton here in the UK . About $8000 .
Holy cow.
CMC in Dallas gives $3.76 #1, $3.83 bare Bright their prices are a lot more than what you got.
Last time we went it was all in the four dollar range but we had to negotiate it.
IVE WORKED IN THAT field for 25yrs there is no such thing as no 3
Yes that is what I have heard!!
I would invest in a baler for the aluminum. 😊
What is that?
@@removeitprosdemolition its like a trash compactor in the kitchen. it smashes it down to a fat cube
@@koaasst You think they will trust you that there ain't a lead bar in the middle of the bail?
Great video!!!!! He lied at the end paint on copper pipe is #2 not #3 !!!! #3 is copper flashing or copper shower pans
Yep there is debate with them on this.
Remember brother. Yards are real strict because when you give someone an inch they take a mile. And get real comfortable. Not saying its not screwed up how they complain about a single pipe with solder but if they let it go. Everything gets out of control. Great video though.
Yeah that's true with most things.
Nice!!!
#3 copper is that soft roofing copper. It can have some tar, no other metal. That's my yard, but definitions are like human waste portals. We all have one, they all stink and are full of it.
They description you are talking about is correct same as the one we got from the manager.
You should open your own yard! Or make them come to you!
That's a thought.
Was asking cause i used a old skill saw to cut threw a rim and tire rim steel fast
The steal in noy t worth enough to bother, aluminum or magnesium rims are worth about $20 each.
It goes through a shredder we have one here in southern Indiana it takes everything out I'm talking about is it separates everything so just scrap yard b******* like you said I know how you feel and I don't take that much in and I deal with it every time I go to the scrap yard here since we only have one in this town yeah we have 28 factories in city limits but most of them are using the better scrap yards that's why I watch these videos you kind of remind me of like I don't know like you and I are kind of the same
Sounds like they got us on the bluing on the copper and on the bus bars.
As much scrapping that you guys do an automated wire stripping machine might be prudent if you can get it at a cost-effective rate also notice not only are you a legal operator but you're also a ethical operator and kudos to you for that
Thanks for the accolade
Ever consider opening your own recycling ( scrap Yard ) ?
No I haven't, but that might not be a bad idea, huh
I was Foreman of a scrapyard for 10 years 95-05. Yes that's how it goes if your aluminum has steel on it then it gets priced as dirty aluminum. Steel is way heavier than aluminum. You want top dollar then clean it otherwise we clean it and have to pay employees labor to do it. They aren't gonna pay you aluminum prices for steel that's how you lose money. You want top dollar then clean your stuff people!
A lot of contractors get paid 40 bucks an hour so it isn't worth their time to clean stuff so they don't care. They're just happy to get rid of it.
Sawzall blades are expensive why should they have to pay for them to clean your stuff. Think about it. 😉✌
Got it!!
When you guys were loading up in the beginning I said to myself looks like about 30k to me. Haha I still got it lol. Nice haul! 😊✌
They don't call me King of scrap metal for nothing. 😁
Do you know that kitchen faucets and bathroom faucets are brass and copper. They are just coated with nickel or chrome
Yes we knew that
I WORKED IN THAT FIELD FOR 25 YRS THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS #3
Thanks for watching hope you subscribed!!
Prices are low in Michigan. At the same time, we are hearing about record prices around the world.
Wonder why they are low there?
Good video
Glad you enjoyed
Bus bars are silver plated - they should be paying you even more.
Interesting how they see things, said they are going to have us trespassed if we film again. might have to go do that to get it on film.
If you have room let that other scrapyard bring in a couple empty containers and dump it in there
Maybe you lose 3 cents a pound but gas etc is worth more
Here in the netherlands
Copper is 7.60 a kilo thats nr 1
Put it inside a container a lot less handling and you get 7.55 a kg here
What will be that be in american dollars

Thanks for the info.Thanks for watching our videos
If the recycler bar coded the carts with tare weight they wouldn’t need to be weighed twice. Would be a lot more efficient.
I agree!!
Do you have any videos on where and how to find materials new to the game just starting out any help would be much appreciated I'm newly unemployed with a injury that will have me out of work from my company for a minimum of 6-8 months. I figured if the wife and kids could chip in the labor scrapping might just keep us afloat. Thanks
Yes, drive around at night and pick up the describe metal that's on the side of the road on garbage day.
I insulate coils for Electric Motors.That "Big" motor you had is TINY compared to the ones I make. ELECTRIC Machinery...Mpls , Mn.
Really how big?
We make them for energy companies, utility companies, they are moved around the shop from the machine shop to final assembly by a 20 or 40 ton overhead cranes. The coils I insulate are anywhere from 1 foot in length and 4160 voltage to 8 ft long at around 13,600 volts. We make generators also. Some are 72 coils per stator to 220 coils per stator. VERY LARGE. Some leave the plant on semis with 50/70 tires.
I would say I’ve been in the scrap business for a good while y’all had about $150,000 worth of stuff on them trucks
Really ....Help who do we get paid that? What will they make on this haul?
33,137 for anyone wondering how much they got so u dont got to watch whole video also skip to 41:00
That's not nice....its the journey....lol
You treat your employees great
We have a great culture.
Corroded or copper that has green on it the local scrap yards around here that's number one because I say it's corrosion but once again every scrap yard is different that's the problem
The scrap yards employees are reaching telling me stuff that I don't want to know.
No 1 insulated wire is a fraction of what the copper inside would bring you again thousands on the table
We are stripping more and more.
S in West Virginia anything that doesn’t have solder on it is number one copper
That what it has been here for a long as I remember.
You get pennies per pound for compressors compared to cutting them open and again retrieving the copper from them they have an electric motor inside it's a little bit of work but worth doing between those and all those electric motors you let go you left a whole lot of money on the table a whole lot! Thousands of dollars
I am thinking on how to set up for that.
my yard has numbers 3 copper its copper with plastic or tape
I am hearing that here its sheet copper.
