Your copper collection is impressive, keep up the awesome work . I enjoy scraping different things for copper and I'm always trying to increase my stack for a super payday , watching your videos is great for motivation. Great job!
Hey Sollers, I was talking to someone today about e-waste and they said something every scrapper doesn't want to hear: I wish I'd met you a couple of weeks ago, we had to hire a skip to get rid of all our old IT stuff. I felt sick 😫😫😫
I'm a new subscriber. Not new to scraping I have been doing scrap off and on for 30 years. I don't think that I have ever seen a woman so in to scraping before now. I have tried to teach a few weman how to make money scraping and now I have learned a few things from you so thank you I really enjoyed your video you did good. I look forward to seeing more. GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL WHO READ THIS AMEN.
I honestly enjoyed that very much Sollers. Wow I am really impressed with your hoard of copper in all shapes and sizes, especially that fish ? you feed. You've got a nice stack of wire to strip, lucky you. Those shower units are amazing, haven't seen anything like that here. With the contacts from switches I have recently scrapped, I found that the buttons are magnetic. That strip of copper from the chair lift, also new to me. Keep enjoying what you do, and may the scrap gods smile down on you. 👍
If the contacts are magnetic they will be silver nickel and still 85-95% silver so still nab those babies 😄 I did enjoy showing some of my copper collection, I'd love somebody else to do one with different things I didn't know about, the wonderful thing about YT is sharing our knowledge 🙂 Thanks so much for the lovely comment 🙂
I thoroughly enjoyed watching. Copper is such a lovely metal to look at. Lol! You are awesome my friend. An acquired taste. lol. You make me laugh girl. I'm the one who is acquired taste.
just found you instant thumbs up Ive been recyling for 40 years ( if you wanted nails for your trolley / go cart /soapbox racer what ever you salvaged the nals from old timber and straightened them to use them I also rescued nuts and bolts from old cars going to scrap I would also remove relays bulbs and fuses
Little bits of copper in nearly everything it seems! We don’t get those mini shower heater units over here, I’d love to find those little copper tanks from time to time 😊
Thats a good stack of copper, Back in the day when I worked for the phone company, after every job I could get leftover rolls of #6 gauge raw copper ground wire for free. I stacked it and waited til it hit over $1 per pound and cashed in for a good bonus check lol
quick tip if your new to scrapping and seeking out non ferrous I would suggest starting by collecting into coffee jars or cleaned out jam jars . it takes a while to collect small brass from terminals bu you can fill a 300 gm coffee jar reasonably quickly you can also strike off your weekly or daily add ins . gt the kids in on a challenge to fill a gar quicker than you ?
Thanks Leeway, it's been crazy here with my sister passing away and me taking care of two extra children, not much tim for RUclips, I'll stop by soon though 💜
am going to try go sleep now and dream about piles of copper goodness and strawberry icecream on a golden sunny day watching dad polishing it outside with braso and cleaning his brasses while we played in the paddling pool till mum call us in for satuday tea fridays was fish saturdays salad and a stan pie. sunday was chicken of beef or pork with veg stacked high. night and godbless everyone night soller lass thankyou for a loverly show
Really good video for someone trying to learn. You have torn up so many appliances and electronics that you would really be an authoritative source on where you can find copper if you don’t get at your job like myself.
@@SollersScrappingandDiving yes am still here lass plodding on as you do just tired all the time i need to get in the sun a while thats all to recharge my D
Hi Everyday Sollers could you tell me the make and model of your adjustable wrench? Also thanks for the info about the copper tank in the electric shower. I had no idea :)
Ive been recycling nuts and bolts for over 40 years ( both metric and imperial) got into small scale non ferrous just recently I have a forge where I recycle and smelt ally by the bucket load mostly cans and old motors
@SollersSrappingandDiving I bought a vertices forge from e Bay or amazon I can't remember now but because I'd seen big stacked in Australia smelting ally I thought why not scarap the cans I get my beer in my neibour loves his cider soni have his empties too I have a yard not too far from me that will take the cans crushed or not at 50 pence a kilo ifni smelt them to clean ingots id get 80 pence a kilo
Good tip on the magnetrons. I did not know that. even though with my business model I don't have time to process for the copper and Ill still throw them in Irony aluminum its still good knowledge to have
It's always interesting learning new things. I know what you mean about the time to process etc, there is so much more I would like to do if I had the time, thanks for watching 🙂👍
@@SollersScrappingandDiving yup sometimes I have to pass up on value because the time it takes is far greater than the amount of money to be made. My business is being built on volume and easy value. If I remember next time I'm doing a microwave on my scrap channel I will try to mention the copper in the magnetron of course I will Add your nasty chemicals warning
@@SollersScrappingandDiving the channel that you should check out is @the new england scrapper, not this one I commented with. haha oops I guess I should have mentioned that
hey aunt solles I have a problem because I listened to the recording from Wednesday and I have a problem that English subtitles are normal and my subtitles are delayed, can they be fixed somehow?
heads up most fridges and freezers have steel condensers the (radiator you see on the back ) these may still have gas in them freon air con units may also still be gassed
Definitely I only take air con units if they have told me they have been degassed and I don't touch fridges and freezers, I'm not prepared to release freon into the environment. That's why I'm always amazed to see people can put them in shred in the US
Yes any solid romex, house wire, is worth stripping but the stranded isn’t worth you stripping, well at least that’s what I found over the years, course I been out of the scrapping bizz for quite a while but I’m 64 now and had been scrapping since I was in my twenties. I don’t know much about today’s scrapping prices or any ewaste stuff, that Stuff just started coming in before I got out of scrapping. But I’m in the states, Ky to be exact, but I’ve scrapped around Ky and Ohio, SW Ohio mainly. Anyhow, yeah pretty cool, a beautiful uk scrapping lady, I never run across many women scrappers when I was into it, oh there were a few but not very good looking, sorry ladies. Anyways, scrap on girl, scrap on, oh and I certainly subbed you, so rock on 🤘!
@@SollersScrappingandDiving - yes ma’am I hear you, I liked it because I had money in my pocket just about everyday, because I usually always took a load into the scrapyard everyday but I just didn’t do the non ferrous but shred/tin, short steel or #2 steel, and whatever. I generally took a load of shred in everyday. Or some places call it appliance steel, same as shred.
@@SollersScrappingandDiving thank you! I’m collecting a bunch as a get e waste but it gets frustrating taking some e waste apart & I just want to smash it! But I know I shouldn’t, a video showing how I could organize some of it would be great! Or how others do it. Thank you
Hi , my name is Kim and i was wondering is it worth buying a container of electrical items from Amazon for the copper, Iv never bought one as yet and also what do you look for ?
Hi, in honesty I would say no as the main buyers for the amazon ones are re-sellers as a lot of their returns are working. You would be better off doing what I do and trying to find a house clearance company where you can buy faulty electronics by the pallet. It can be worth a call round local companies and looking on eBay. The difficulty is if you have to get delivery though as this is hefty at the moment. Hope that helps 🙂👍
Some of the wire inside engine on microwaves are alloy done a few new microwaves and just binned the wire as not worth much in channel islands around 40p kilo im more into brass copper as thats worth 5£ fire normal light wire heavy wire from big things like cookers goes 5-50£ kilo ss is not worth nothing nore cast alloy
Not at all, some runs are non-ferrous big bucks, or circuit boards that will get about £1000 a run, but some are ferrous cheap runs and my yard is so local, I would much rather get rid of the bulky iron, and whatever I have stacked up at the time that I am turning in so I don't live in a what looks like a junk yard. I actually don't turn in my copper (except VIR cable), that is all kept if I did take it, I'd obviously get a lot more each run. Scrapping for me is a hobby and most hobbies actually cost people money, hundreds or even thousands, I'm always happy with making any money from mine, it's all a bonus. Obviously if I lived a distance from the yard, I would have to save up the scrap for bigger loads.
Thanks so much, I occasionally buy a big e-waste pallet from a house clearance company but not for a couple of years or so, the rest is all collected for free, either from companies, skip diving(with permission) or e-waste bin drop offs🙂

I've yet to run into a motor that's tuff to get the copper out. Big or small they take 5 min at the most
5mins on the tricky ones, you should show us how it's done, you've obviously got the knack 👍
Grinder and a screwdriver all it takes
lol noification always reminds me after the show its a pain
the grey cable is known as twin and earth
is the shower unit, hot water on demand? we don't have those in canada.
Hi, yes that is exactly it, they heat the water there and then, not every house has that kind and it is grim if there is a power cut!

Yummy indeed!!
I love copper but i don""t always take the time to take it out or take it off.
I understand, some things are just too time consuming!

so if your only getting 50 quid a run whats the point, surly you need atleast 200 a day to make it worth doing
