sometimes you can take things to far and will do things for little returns. i don't have a truck only a car with a trailer so i mostly focus on things that contain copper and require breaking down to unlock the value. mostly just find things when im going to and from work/errands. whatever i make is just extra money i don't really need so what i did was i opened a brokerage account and all my scrap money goes in there and i buy stocks with it. when you're scrapping something out and you figure you spent all that time and only made 8$ hr, in the long run that invested money will grow and hat time spent will have been worth way more. building a retirement fund with "garbage"

That sucks your yard won't give you #2 with the plastic on them. My husband had to speak to the yard supervisor because at first they were saying they were the same as faucets that weren't clean. And I'll never forget my husband asked what the MOSFETs were classified as and when the yard guy said F metals (dirty brass basically) my husband said " wrong these are copper and plastic and since copper#2 is described as " copper with some impurities " I'm sure copper with paint and soldering is#2 so copper with plastic must be #2 also. The next time we went to drop off the guys said my husband was right. I'm not saying go argue with your yard but might be worth a mention

How would the scrapyard know if all those micro pieces are copper or brass or anything else?
@scrapitall200 2 ай бұрын
I brought in a few and showed them so they could see the copper. So when I go back to the scrap yard they’ll know what they are. Thank you for watching.

@@Kerry-G you’re welcome! If you ever aren’t sure what the scrap yard will buy something as, just bring it in and ask them, majority of yards are more than willing to answer questions.

The ones that u say u have to melt to get them off u dont have to melt them.. u can use a chisel and a small hammer and just tap them off..
@scrapitall200 2 ай бұрын
I didn’t say melt, I said heat. I just wanted to clear that up because melting anything with plastic is toxic. I tried that once and it was way more trouble than it’s worth, imo. Thank you for watching.

@@scrapitall200 yeah that's true.. I know other scrappers that burn wire to get the coating off instead of just taking a little extra time to strip the wire.. I never burn or melt anything.. around my neck of the woods they give u a nice big fine..

Tranzistory obsahují poměrně dost Silveru! To co jsi obrousil je Silver a když to kladivem rozbiješ, tak uvnitř jsou silně postříbřené Měděné vodiče. Plst obsahuje AU.

I heard that it’s the older ones that are silver and the newer ones are tin coated. I don’t mess with the tiny anoints of silver or gold on these mosfets, I prefer to just sell them for copper. Thank you for watching.

@@scrapitall200 Chápu, já schraňuji vše, co obsahuje Silver, Paladium, Tantal a Gold. Ty tantalové kondenzátory obsahují také Silver. Vlastně velké množství komponentů z takových desek, obsahuje drahé kovy. Zvažuji odběr. Já také ty drahé kovy z těch komponentů rafinuji, neprodávám je. Jelikož budu podnikat jako Zlatník, mám vystaráno s koupí drahých kovů. Děkuji za obsáhlou odpověď.
