    Before today, I would have sworn that the sound of a dolly flying off of a moving truck is 'poing!', but at 26:57 we learn that it is actually 'bloop!'

    Paul, I am today 63 years old. I do not know how I got this old. Not to say that I made trouble because I was the oldest of 6 kids, and was always told that I needed to set an example for my sisters and brothers. Which I still try to do to this day when I interact with them even when talking on the phone. They live up in IL and WI, and I live in FL. Hope you have a great 2024!

    Hon , Mike don’t do the competition thing with other scrappers. He’s still young enough to climb in dumpsters and can still lift. He just encourages others that a side hustle and scrapping keeps things out of landfills. He educates with follow tutorials on how to strip wire, scrap copper from motors , how to separate metals. . Eventually age catches up with all of us. Mikes just a nice guy doing his thing.

  • @Just_Chuck_It
    @Just_Chuck_It 4 месяца назад +1

    Hey Paul,
    In the last 6 months I have started taking most appliances apart or at least extracting the motors. Larger appliances like washers and dryers have larger size motors and are relatively easy to disassemble to extract the motors or you can even cut them out in some cases without disassembly.
    Once you extract the motors, the motor itself without any further work is worth 3x the scrap value than the appliance is whole. Extract the copper windings and separate the steel and aluminum from the motor and that increases the worth 10x the scrap value over the whole appliance.
    All I do now is pick up appliances, dismantle them, clean up the wires, separate the aluminum from steel, and break down the motors. I can easily do 6-8 a day with little issue, and I am collecting $500+ every day this way. It really has changed the game for me.
    It's wild how just breaking these items down skyrockets the return value.

    When I was 25, a minute ago, I felt like my world was consumed with being a single mother and a full time worker. When I was 40, a minute later, my son was grown and I still worked full time, volunteered in my community and time flew. I was fully present and felt like I paid attention to the world around me. Today, 31 years later, and my world is very different, I am happily retired with a small cottage business in my garage. I developed leukemia so I try not to mingle with the masses much. I have learned to enjoy being with me and doing what I want with none of the past pressure. My advice - keep paying 14:38 attention, save as much money as you can in your youth… you have no idea how much you will need it later when you can no longer work and earn more. Be kind and generous to others and never compromise your self respect.
