Great video. When I retired in 2006 I started scrapping in Mesa Az. Prices were good so it worked out well. I used a 16 foot flat car trailer with a winch and a 1 ton crew cab dually that gets maybe 6 miles to the gallon. My loads from the appliance place would average 4000 pounds. Prices here are so low had it not been for the big loads I would not have even broke even. At one point shred was at 2 cents a pound. That was around the time people called me like crazy but they go up and down daily here and not just a cent but copper will drop 25 cents I continued to scrap until the main place I obtained it all from ( a scratch & dent store that moved 10 miles farther away ) and began charging for their scrap. At 3 cents a pound it was not worth it barely covering expenses. Now the yard a few miles away won't take refrigerator's with freon in them any longer. He will without freon but I'm not setting myself up for an EPA issue. I will still haul scrap if I can get it but unlike the old days when I just had a Craigslist ad where people would call and give me truck loads of scrap metal it is none existent any longer. No one calls and there is really nothing to have and no one puts anything on the curb. I suspect people are selling it themselves given the crappy economy. Keep up the good work.
@AlwaysBored123
@AlwaysBored123 Жыл бұрын
Wow those are some rough prices. I agree it's hard to justify any effort at all for 3 cents a pound. Imo unless you own a scrapyard there is far more money to be made in non-ferrous scrap than in iron and steel. Particularly in extracting copper from electrical and HVAC scrap. I think I made as much, if not more, on just the ac units as I did on all the steel I hauled in this video. The downside of course is if you want non-ferrous stuff in decent quantities you will have to pay something for it. It's worth it though.

Something I’ve used to demount smaller tires and wheels is my hydraulic wood splitter. I just place them on the beam like I’m splitting wood and use the ram to crush the wheel then rotate and crush every 90 degrees. After your done the wheel will look like a 4 leaf clover and the tire will slide off easily. Good job processing all that scrap.

Thanks glad it was entertaining. I didn't post a price because they're so different everywhere but it was about $9,000 worth of scrap metal I think.

IIRC about 7-10 days for the initial cleanout and then about two and a half months after that to get most of the scrap hauled in. That was just working on it sporadically though.

Idk about that. if he is doing it for a living, he hoardes/sits on material until it is worthwhile hauling loads in. I sit on copper,brass etc till I know I have more then enough to cover fuel, my time. Im not in scrap to make beer money, Im in it to get paid

You can simply mount that wire stripper sideways in a Craigslist drill press. Just set the pulleys on the lowest setting. Also put a short piece of wood under it and the table to force it up a bit because the chuck is probably held in with a taper fitting. Oh....and the interesting thing is how low amperage a lot of small drill presses are. Sometimes 2.5 amps. So you might have to get one with more horsepower. It's surprising how much torque is needed to put that cutting wheel through plastic wire insulation.

That's a clever idea thanks. I was trying to think of a good way to attach a small motor to it. They do sell them like that but they're crazy expensive.
