    Very cool. I make good money picking up scrap metal and bringing it to my local scrap yard. I've often wondered how they separate intertwined metals like aluminum and steel when they are cast together. Now I have an answer. This was great to watch and makes me feel good that I am part of helping reduce damage to the environment by scrapping.

    That eddy current step where the other metals and plastic get separated is amazing

    Now if only we could end planned obsolescence, and start building products that last, instead of endlessly building and in most cases throwing away things that should last lifetimes.

      The world should work this way but corporations care about profit and only that. My suggestion is try and build as much of your own stuff as you can that way it’s sturdy as you need it and it’s cheaper and it lasts longer and you’ll develop or improve some valuable skills

      @@TristanKoehler-l4s that’s a good bandaid, but what we really need is systematic change to encourage better behavior from those who create. No more profit motive, at least it should not be the only motive.

    Thank you. Very informative. I sold few years ago about 1200 kg different kind of metals. I bought an old farm and there was plenty of trash. Mainly iron. Even rusty items were accepted. The representative of the company told that they deliver metals mainly to Turkey! My old metal items might be now steel somewhere in Turkey? They told that the copper has now a good price/kg. It is great that they will recycle metals so well. Saves nature.

    I scrap refrigerators often... i always remove the compressor (pumpkin) and the copper. On a lot of refrigerators open the door on the right side under the plastic is a copper line running up to the freezer. 😉

  • @fordmanmal

    Weird, here in NZ we just take the fridges/freezers to the scrap yard and get paid per the kg - depends on the market, anywhere from 6c/kg up to 15c/kg. They don't degas them or separate the plastic etc it just goes into their containers/trucks as mixed lowgrade metals and shipped off to the recycling places that further recycle it down to be made into new products. I have not yet heard of any scrap yard that wont take them. And no laws in NZ that prohibits it. Its not "legal" as such to let the CFC gases out but they are in damn near everything so you cant really police it.

    • @nicolaschu9599
      @nicolaschu9599 7 лет назад +2

      Depends on the scrap yard, in California, we can sell whole fridges as light iron, but my yard separates them out of the light iron pile so they can recycle them separately, probably to recover freon and compressors for resale.
