How to Prepare Scrap Metal to Get the Most Money at the Scrap Yard | Learn How to Start Scrapping

Learn how to start scrapping metal, how to get the most money by separating different types of metal and preparing the metal to make it "cleaner" to get a higher value. I show how I prepared my shredder metal, batteries, wire, carport metal, stainless steel sink and more and take it to the scrap yard. Prohibited scrap yard items are also discussed.

Full-time scrapper here. This is a good beginner's guide! You'll learn a lot as you go. Been doing this 35 years and still learn a thing or two occasionally!!

As you pointed out, convenience of the scrapyard should not be overlooked. You can call around for prices, but if you've got a scrapyard you drive by anyway, it's probably best to go there. Thanks for the summary.

Is that the old Marino Scarp yard?

[@brettleybuilt]

Not sure. It is the one in Rochester, Pennsylvania.

Working in the scrap metal industry you need to sort it out so the metal yard doesn't have to!!!
