Everything You Need to Know to Make Money Recycling Scrap Metal

Where I am, they call prepared steel "short iron".

Great informative video Thub. Glad to see the handy and clever bucket holding stand that you designed and built is getting lots of use. More kudos for the filming and posting of this video.

I really enjoy your videos. Learned a few things today that I didn't know. Thank you.

The beard is fire 🔥

One of the best “starter” videos I’ve seen for scrapping. Good job!

Nice video. Subscribed just bc its nice message for the whole world. Been scraping since teen in 07. Alot of knowledge.

There are 4 types of brass: 1 yellow brass 2. C metal brass 3. Res brass 4. Hard brass

So true! And as always great video I always enjoy it when I see you have uploaded!

Excellent, excellent video.

Impressive work !!! Awesome video been a while glad you're keeping doing THE thing buddy scraplife style
Very informative video like it

We are almost identical in the way we collect

I know of a X-ray company that buys CT scanners and cardiac cath labs for parts to sell. After they harvest the parts they'll call me to come and get the rest for scrap. I work part time for another X-ray company and right now when im not working I usually spend about 7 hours a day processing scrap. I get almost anything you can imagine.

umm think you forgot a few high value scraps (having recently paid off my house by scrapping sterling and a bit of gold).

I've learned so much from you already. This was a nice refreshing refresher.

Nice video, I go to two different scrap yards one that only buys non-ferrous and the other one that only buys Steel. Currently the Steelyard only has one category for steel that being tin Shred they have me throw the brake rotors in with the Shred for a whopping $0.025 a pound 😂 gas money

Scrap price where i live is shit. Hauled a scrap car in, made enough to pay for fuel to get there and back

Thank you

I don't sell all my scape, I make things from it instead. The copper bullets. Copper melts at 1,600 degrees so having a steel mold it's not a problem. Lead melts at 300 degrees. So from the steel I make knives, axes, wrenchs, digging tools, shovels, wheel barrow, chisels and digging bars. Once I received a pile of old plow disce from a farmer and made ten post hole diggers. The ones not so good I made bird baths and feeders.

I don't find red brass very often either but last week I broke down a part of a 1970's era printing press and pulled of 8 of lbs of it. I got $2.88/lb for red vs $2.21/lb for yellow. Definitely worth separating if you find it. Enjoy your videos!

Sppppsssst. You have some steel in your ear. I recycled all my ear steel.😅😊😅

What about pop metal like old car mirrors

Hello,
Can you tell me what is the price of the compressor scrap please big fan

Well done video, enjoyed it much! Learned a lot.

My guy, I haven't seen you in awhile.

I take an extra minute with a drywall finishing pad to my copper and always get the most for it. But I'd consider myself a hobbyist next to your operation.

Love watching your vids...you move along at just right the pace and even re-cap or repeat some information in several videos to help us retain the info better. You also ACTUALLY cover the material you say you're going to cover in the video title...too many folks don't do very good job at that for some reason. I've found scrapping to be a fun , rewarding and honest side-hustle...we can all look ourselves in the mirror every day knowing we help keep perfectly good , perfectly reusable metals / materials out of the landfills AND made some extra money doing it - not glamorous work - but honest work !! Thanks for what you do to help us do this work better !!

316 stainless should not be magnetic, 304 will be slightly magnetic

Send you an email.

Great video!

For the algorithm. Interesting and informative.

❤

I thought 316 S/S has more nickel and should be non magnetic . Any reason for slightly magnetic ? Mainly used to in commercial kettles or photoghaphy to resist corrosion .

Πολύ μιλάς σε όλα τα βίντεο,

Most all the scrap yards around here give you the same $ for all ferrous metals.

Today I learned that whiskey in sufficient volume can make thing that aren't satirical seem satirical. I also learned that there are lots of metals to be recycled for money but that knowledge somehow feels less important.

selfie channels belong on tik tok

Well done I only scrap stuff that is not useful enough for me to build things out of. Love this channel and like getting a little coin for my efforts to keep as much out of the land fill! Cheers

I’ve been working in the scrap yard for two years now and man I wish I had more people like you come in and make it simple for me it’s not hard work but sometimes people can make something so complicated and just in fun

Do you ever melt any of it down and make ingots out of it?

I enjoy your content! God bless from alberta canada

Awesome video!!

Hey bro, curious from Australia. Have you ever done a total income from your scrap for a whole year? Would be very interested to know roughly how much you pull in over 12 months.

All the besy

Why don’t you recover gold silver and Palladium and copper from circuit boards I’ve been doing it and it’s actually way better money than any other type of scrapping😊

You only really need hydrochloric acid and bleach and then just filter off the solution silver will stay as solids

I didn't know 316 stainless was marked!! Thanks!!

A very good video lots of good information.
GOD BLESS YOU FOR
