Make a tool that is a long rod with hook at the end, handle at other end to hook things out real fast, without having to jump in. Industrial waste is much better for copper than building waste. Look for things that can be repaired and/or cleaned up and sold. Wood is good, you can build yourself a work bench. When working around building sites, ask everyone if you can get a day's work (or longer). Have a card with your number and skills on it to hand out to anyone you encounter. Use a high-grade mask always, dust is a problem short and long term and you do not know what is that dust. Have separate boxes in your truck for aluminum, copper - that saves you sorting it later when you get back home.
Thank you for your input. I would rather just jump in for most things honestly. And I already tried the whole fix it up and sell it route. That is not me. I have no room to hoard stuff and I'm not good at reselling things. I make more money taking things in for scrap than I do reselling. I've tried both methods of, one over charging so it looks like things are more valuable and then also selling things dirt cheap just to get things moved. both methods have failed for me. The junkyards will always pay me what I'm expecting to get. I also don't have enough room in the truck to keep things separate all the time. I usually put non-ferrous in the truck and ferrous in the trailer. sometimes that's not always an option though. sometimes I have buckets in the truck for wire and whatnot. sometimes I don't. in my Toyota all the non-ferrous usually goes to one corner of the truck when possible and it makes it easy to deal with. I actually do carry business cards. I just don't show that part on camera
I wouldn’t say good copper but there was some. There was some stainless copper coils that were all soldered together. I got like 80 cents a pound for em. I believe the sealed unit I cut apart a few videos ago came from the ice maker in this video. I could be wrong. I get behind on editing my longer videos.
it was recorded in 4k on a GoPro 7 silver. I had to drop it down otherwise it woulda been over 13GB to save the MP4. I'm on a 256GB MacBook Pro from 2019. Even as low quality as it is it was still nearly 2GB to save and for some reason took forever to save. I've been wanting a DJI Action cam and a 1TB Desktop Mac but RUclips sometimes takes a backseat when I have other things that need done. Chainsaws and Man Lifts are not cheap at the moment. Usually I try to record in 1080 so the file sizes are smaller but the GoPros been wanting to do 4k for some reason lately.
sometimes I like taking the Toyota out and filling that up with scrap more so than the dump trailer when I'm filming just because I can usually make shorter videos. they usually end up being about 20-30 minutes or so and the Toyota will be full. I go unload 2 or 3 times in one day and I end up getting 2 or 3 videos out of the day. when I drag the trailers around behind the ram the videos end up being over an hour usually by the time the trailer is full. I don't like making 2 part videos when it's just dumpster diving because there's usually not a good stopping point.
It's like going fishing except for metal instead of fish.😅
Heck yeah. And more exciting too!

@@scrapmanindustries the bits wear the cubes form in 99.9% of ice makers are made out of tined copper
Those first houses were finished you need ones being built to get the goodies.
it was a mix. some people were moved in others were still only framed.
cool video thx your
thank you for watching
Just found your channel. Just curious, where are you located?
Depends what time period the videos were filmed. I’m in Ohio now. Near Columbus. Some videos were filmed in Texas others in Pa. most are in Ohio now.
Pity there is not more value placed on that wood there's some good scrap there.
there a place by me that will mulch it for free but unless I need a piece at the time I don't have the ability to haul it really.
I like
thank you

Sure did
I hate to be 'that guy' but you either need a better camera or better settings. Only playing at 480p on RUclips.

@scrapmanindustries fair enough. Other than the video quality it was a very interesting video and I love what you do. Keep it up
@@peteoneill5799 thanks one day maybe it might be in better quality
