I don't have near the copper you do, but I bought a stripping machine from coppermineinc. Played for itself the first two months. And I do all the work myself.
That's really good. If we continue to get big jobs and have the volume we've had recently then it will be worth it to look into. What kind of work do you do? Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
For whatever reason, I never thought about people around me, here in Dayton, oh, shipping scrap elsewhere. We have one company in particular that has three gigantic shredders, for stuff like cars and trucks, and all kinds of iron, but we have some foundries between here and the coast as well. And they also have rail service, so their prices seem to be about the best around, but I guess my tiny brain didn't put two and 7 together. 10 makes sense now. I appreciate your videos! Somebody stripped my house back before I bought it. 3 days before I signed the paperwork. HUD house, so they just slapped a couple eyebolts on the back door and threw a padlock on it and made me sign some paper saying they wouldn't have to come back in. Stupid m[/^÷& $*
They package the metal up and ship it to buyers, I hear lots of it goes to China for manufacturing.
Some of those Baseboard radiators had Copper at the end and it could have been hacksawed. I was told that Baseboard Radiators use low grade Copper- but scrapyards pay the same. I myself am there when the Scrapyard weighs everything. I want to know if somethings " Dirty Brass" or Low price wire. I had Christmas light wire at the top of a bag of wire and they didn't look thru the bag. Never leave the yard until you compare your list to the Receipt. Any complaints tell the Boss " look at the camera tape/dvd"
Interesting. Are you in the scrapping industry? Thanks for the comment.
Love the respect you show your employees. Thank you for kindness the world needs more kind people.
I am grateful to have soo many fair hard working guys that......................make this all happen..

You have a Great setup & a good crew, You have to get a larger wire stripper with a bigger motor that will push out that Copper faster
Looking into the bigger stripper, we normally do not get this large wire, or even this much of wire. Its really busy work for us. Do you do large quantities of scrap?
I take my batteries to the parts store and they give me a credit on my account. They don’t care how many I bring I’ve brought 20 at one time. I think last time I brought a load in I got $10 each
That's not bad. I just wish we could take them to the same spot so we don't have to make separate trips. Thanks for comment!
Love your videos, you call it as it really is, Your the honest scrapper trying to recycle everything you can. Keep it out of the landfills. And keep calling out those dishonest scrapyards, so we can all know who is going to be honest with us.
Thank you for the comment. This is our living and we like to be fair. Thanks for being part of the community and see you on the next video!
Dave! Wish I was local, I'd almost process that stuff for free just because I find it fun. Been scrapping for 3 years and the yard I go to with nonferrous stuff loves me because everything is separated in buckets and trash cans, nice and neat, usually 1500-2000lbs of NF material at a time. Usually bring them gatorades when its hot too. I highly suggest find a chain parts store to sell those batteries to, I get $10 each store credit (2-3x scrap value). I can bring up to 5 at a time and its great to help maintain my trucks.
Wow. Agreed. I love this stuff and doesn't get old. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching! Where are you located?
Dave I've never heard of a limit on batteries but in my area the auto parts stores give $10/$15 store credit per battery and they will take a pallet at a time. Maybe something to check into in your area. You could use the credit towards fluids or maintenance items for your trucks/ equipment.
We try to do everything in one shot. If I get backed up with enough batteries we will send our guys to do that on a separate trip. Great suggestion. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.
Thats crazy those scrap yard rules! Up north (ny/pa) non of that bs!
Its a pain!
If you have people who scrap as a side hustle for extra cash, they may be willing to buy your insulated wire that you don’t intend on processing. They will pick it up and process on their own just to make the difference in price. If you give them a bit of a break in what you would get for it, you save time and they make a little cash to supplement income.
I like your thinking
Love what you said about respecting scrappers. They’re keeping the yard in business and you have no idea why someone’s there. Most people are just tradesmen or people trying to make a few bucks because their day job just doesn’t pay enough.
Exactly. That's how how we were when we got into this. A lot of these people work hard for this stuff. Are you in the trades? Thanks for watching!
@@removeitprosdemolition I’m a line cook but I just sell scrap on the side, not off the table though. Keep up the videos y’all.
You are so passionate about your business.
I love it. It's amazing how much we've learned over the years doing this. Do you have your own business? Thanks for watching!
we have one to stripe copper in your shop
Usually we don't get this much scrap at a time. If the big jobs continue with this amount of scrap we will look into getting a wire stripper to help with the volume. Thanks for watching!
You guys are Lucky to have an assembly team. Get a wire stripper. I paid $180. for it and it paid for itself 5X! I'm not big time. No car- My friend brings me in and gets $60 for an hours use of truck. Plus coated solid copper wires plastic takes up about a garbage can worth of space. It depends on the individual- I'm retired and strip early mornings , never during scrapyard hours, rain and Cold days.
Yes. This is a little unusual for us. If the big jobs continue I will look into getting a wire stripper. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
Keep fighting, Dave. It isn’t like you are trying to take advantage of any system, you are just pursuing logical avenues of business. If “they” can’t understand that, then “they” should not be in business - period.
I let it get to me....its because lots of people are scrapping because its their next meal....that why. I hate bullies....
I love your videos. I like to see more grocery stores/ fast food restaurants, high-end houses, demolition videos, and keep the new videos coming !
Will do!
Clean at the scrap yard means pure. No contaminates paint, plastic, screws, bolts, or braided/coated/welded/solder. If it's copper and aluminum ac coil, it's dirty lowest value metal, IE dirty aluminum or even tin shred due to any steel screws or solder. I turned in a copper coil from an old water fountain, 7 lbs of copper, BUT it had solder all over one side that attached it to the cooling line. I knew it was going to be #2 copper, they said it was #2 and explained why, i agreed and they appreciated that i didn't raise a fuss about it. Think of it like bare bright copper, #1 Copper, and #2 copper. The yard i drop off to don't take anything below #2 copper unless it's in bulk or over 50 lbs.
Right. Sound like you have a good scrapyard you go to. Some places explain it better than others. We still learn every time we go. If they explain while they are processing it and tell you why instead of just sending it through and not telling you you're not blindsided and things go a lot smoother. Do you turn in scrap often? Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
How much is M42 tooling scrap going for in your area?
I am sorry I don't know what that is....please explain.....
No am just a Go Getter. I love the Relaxation of cleaning and cashing in metal. I WAS in a regional commercial for AW Scrap!!!
That is awesome! Love to hear it! Thanks for watching!
I have done so many people's houses rich people but they all do the same thing complain about money first time but you go to a job for somebody who smokes cannabis there'd be asking if you want drinks if you are food I think give you a bonus again I don't smoke on the job but he had stuff there I want to disability what do doctors can't give medication for me two red and spell I use a app on my tablet to read messages and to read for eyesight I stayed in school to learn to recognise the most 100 years words some others I will be changing some of the words from the 100 so it will still be 100 I know and probably that 75 spell out some of them are right even know what they say technically I know all the at words there's a second wait to say the alphabet you got to capitals then you get the lower case what they sound like know them to put myself through school and try to work at you get around it but I already knew the future who is the one of the reasons why I was allowed to take the calculated to school I had a mobile phone and it had a calculator and it used to be a Nokia 3310 the spaceship up into space these smartphones are just taken that story and with it I've been speaking I hope there's no mistakes in these words fixing it
Yes. People will always complain about something no matter what. Just have to do the best with what we have. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching! See you on the next video!
Crazy with needing the licenses for everything, not sure where you are located but I’m in Maryland and have never had any issues bringing in anything with no licenses or anything
We are in Florida
Great show I do this as a job picking and working in a scrap metal yard best job in the world very similar to Australia
Wow. Very interesting to hear. I love this stuff. Are you located in Australia? Thanks for watching!
the scrap merchants should come to you
I agree.....
Most yards have a dirty aluminum category and even a irony aluminum category. Most of that dirty brass can be cleaned and sold as cleaned brass. Get a bigger wire stripper. Teach all your guys the difference in the metals. This can save you money on the back end, especially when the yard is trying to rip you off. Thanks for the video.
I try to teach them every day. Thanks for the comment. Hope you subscribed. See you on the next video!
That’s why I go to EMR. They really have everything together and the people working their are very friendly and helpful
That's excellent. How long have you been doing that?
how do you deal with gas from the ac unit
😇
Take you brass somewhere else..your getting ripped off
There is another scrapyard that we are going to try. They have new owners so we are waiting for them to get a little bit more organized. Should be in the near future. Where do you go? Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
you got to get into E-waste!
Tell me about that....I am curious.
I sure hope you are not getting $1.50 for dirty brass. I get that for clean brass.
The prices I was quoting on the video it was the prices we were offered on a text from the yard dealing with a representative from the company. After hearing the audio from Taylons mic, he has been dealing directly with them, they keep me away from them cause I lose my cool. Well I have never heard of #3 copper, we googled it and its a thing, but I have never heard of it. Other on this discussion say the same. Have you heard of #3 copper?
Have you tried to find a place that will buy batteries as a core?
Years ago I even seen where auto parts stores would buy them as a core.
Of course I know laws has changed since I scrapped.
If you think about it, auto salvage yards has to do something with the batteries they get.
That's a good idea, its just very convenient when you can out it together and get it all done at once in one place....time is money!!
I see your stripping machine in this video looks real similar to mine. Is it a “CWS”? Copper Wire Stripper? If so is it the 1st model or second model? I’m having a hard time finding new cutter wheels for mine. They seem to only have cutting wheels for the 2nd gen model
I am sorry I don't know. Hope you joined the community.
What is the best way to start a business like yours??
I have a podcast video where I go into great detail on how I got into the business and how it evolved into what it is today. Check it out.
Eventually you may want to buy a shredder. Shredding copper and speedboxing or compressed barrels will yield your highest amount. You can get to your ton a lot faster. Take the air out of your loads.
This is not a normal amount of scrap for us its higher than usual, due to demolishing several large projects at once....if the volume continues I will keep that in mind...
One would think that people who business in demolition, etc would have a lot of common things, including batteries. They should make a concession for folks like you to bring in as many batteries, etc as you have to sell them. Without y'all bringing them the goods, they'd be out of business.
I agree!!!
hold dirty sheet and low grade and take it later on or take it first each guy you take to the scrap yard can take a battery. Miami is best for copper and wire and scrap. get ahold of the guy on project shop fl and he is tops check him out he lives by you
Thanks for the advice. Thanks for watching!!
GO SCRAPOLOGIST!!
Its my new favorite word of the year....lol
Surprises me to see you can sell big (100A-200A) breakers. Yes, I know they are pricey to buy new, but it isn't homeowners putting in those big fat breakers, those have to be commercial elec contractors and if it were me, I wouldn't be putting in used stuff from what, 35-40 years ago? The other thing is that those parts change every 20+ years, so if I have a bad breaker in an old panel, sure, as a contractor, if I need to replace one bad breaker and can't get the part any more then you do what you have to do. But heck, you're the one selling them so what do I know?
Everything sells on craigslist........
sorry ebay!!!
I’m sure the IRS appreciates your video documentation
We have a business that is easily targeted and we find its just easier to follow those rules.
Boss man, I think you are not aware of how scrappers treat the yards, and how the mills treat the shippers. A mill will knock down or reject a 40,000 lb load for a small amount of contamination. Then what? You say 'awe shucks', and the yard eats the cost? Do you have any idea how many people fill their cans with sand, and do all kinds of similar things to get more cash from the scrapyard? The yard is NOT in the business of educating you, even though you think you are entitled to a free education from them. Maybe ISRI has an app you can download.The bin you claim they find three out-of grade items, means how much contamination is in that material they can't see? Don't be so high and mighty that they are dishonest, though some are and some scrappers are too. It's a human problem. I think you should buy your own yard, see how you like it, and stop complaining.
Don't you think of they educated the customers we would all do better. Customers are hard to keep, expensive to get. I have been thinking about buying a scrap yard......
@@removeitprosdemolition I've been thinking about your response, and the questions get complicated in reality. If you buy your own yard, you will then see both sides for sure.
In non-competitive and agency situations, the transfer of information freely between the parties facilitates the activity, but nobody makes money out of it, they just help each other, or one party gets paid for consulting and providing information. This fee often offsets time the other party would spend gaining experience. But if exchanged without a fee, this is like a charity. It seems that in any area of life, where any amount of competition is present, more knowledge and experience bring more profit. Therefore, retaining a position of superior knowledge gives someone an advantage. Look at the demo business: if you have customers who have no idea that some of the materials or items are saleable for recycling or for reuse as salvage, they will pay you more for your work than people who know that you recoup money for materials you pull out of the job.(and that clean concrete can be dumped for free by ton after ton for recycling, as another example) To go further, do you tell your demo customers, that if they first called a salvage company which can reuse the materials or pay them a scrap value, and then have you come in after, they would save money, and you would charge them less, since some of the work is already done for you, and because the salvage company is sharing with the customer some of the value of the items they are salvaging ?(not in all cases though is the work less for you) Do you take it upon yourself to educate your customers about this in all cases? If not, why not? Do you deduct the full amount from your bid that you will make from the scrap, and refund them extra if your scrap earnings estimates are only, say, a third of reality?
In almost all areas you will encounter in life, in competitive situations, people try to retain a superior position in the market through the control of information. This is one reason why hospitals do not publish their prices. Also, as examples, appliance repair people, electricians and plumbers do not disclose everything they are doing so you can check on the prices and ask for reductions and even learn for next time. Doctors, mechanics, lawyers, all withhold information that could benefit you, and seem to feel little to no obligation to educate you beyond a certain minimum required to 'make the sale'. Also, your improved knowledge about maximizing scrap value and another demo company's lack of that knowledge, gives YOU a competitive advantage in the market, since you can maximize revenue above what your less educated competition can. Do you want the scrapyard reaching out to educate your competition without your competition having to make an effort to learn, while you spend time and effort learning, and teaching your employees. which creates benefits for you? You deserve a profit on your investment in improving your knowledge.
Then there are all kinds of costs a scrapyard incurs for sorting, and resorting materials. Labor, machines, a bigger yard, higher taxes, higher insurance, all these things cost and cost in many many ways. Now, I don't think you should be cheated and lied to! But if they are strictly enforcing the grade requirements, it is hard to fault them for that. You want that in your food, medicine and other areas. And the mills who buy the materials want that too. For example, copper in the steel is very bad and very expensive for them.
I hope this helps. I'll be sending a short message to say I responded to you, in case this long message gets deleted by UA-cam. By the way, if you buy your own yard, you can set roll-offs or heeled trailers for other demo companies to do first level sorting of metal from C&D and you can sort it at your yard and make the upgrade benefit you get by proper sorting, or share it with them as you wish. Even just upping your volume on materials you already produce will better your price. You also can do hauling, with wheeling dump trailers instead of roll-offs, and sort the materials, pulling the metal, and consolidating the C&D to fewer runs to the landfill or transfer station.There are so many angles, and this is before even going after manufacturers for regular scrap waste they produce. It's a big field, and in FL you can run a carting company, even if you are not one of the 'families' like you have to be up north, and other places.
BTW If a person does a good job, and charges fairly, I find customers easy to get and to keep. Also, customers flock to suppliers who are like them in temperament, if they can find them. Also, the scrap market is basically global in nature and driven by price and grade. People often hunt for even just a penny or two improvement in price. And that also becomes a trick: some post a higher price than they can afford to spend, to attract the sellers of material, then they try to make it up by knocking down the grade, therefore price, to try to claw it back. But they lure in customers with a posted higher price.
Good amount of scrap. My best was I paid $700 bucks to scrap a building. Huge amount of copper. I did process it at my house. I filled my full size truck 8’ box with bare bright ,$4,300 one pick up load. That was at a $1.05 a pound.
That's a good load......
@@removeitprosdemolition It was my best haul. And I got paid in cash. Even better. It did take some time to strip the 500MCM Wire. Had to pull that wire into the sun from the Garage to get it soft so I could strip it easier. This was done about 30 years ago. For back then it was a big payday. I would like to get some scrap jobs like this now. I worked for a big company back then.. If They wanted to get rid of it ,it had to go. I lucked out when the were closing some of the small buildings and I was I maintenance . My wife hated it when I would put a lot of stuff in the Garage,but loved my fat wallet . Have a great day .
when was that, in the 90s?
Hi sir I m from India.I want to import copper scrap like a millberry wire with or without pvc. There is more profitable business import export. Pls reply
I'm not sure about that, but we would have some interest in it if we would be protected and that we could get it there safely and be paid easily.
@@removeitprosdemolition please explain in detail I want to go in it
You have told us your story of rising from the ashes so to speak. I can see how that has carried over to the way you handle your employees. I’ve been privileged to have a boss like that. Keep it up.
I have also come from a place of financial ruin at the hands of people who knew they were screwing me over and on my recovery have become very frugal. I’m now self employed again for the past 12 years as a interior finisher and on renovations I have made recycling part of the process. If I take something apart that has value I immediately set it apart so as to save time in the process and improve profitability. My helpers don’t see it but the scrap yard obviously knows the value of it. They have some tricks up their sleeves when it comes to profiting unfairly from my efforts. I am not a confrontational person but at 59 years of age I am realizing that when treated the way scrappers do sometimes, there is no shame in confrontation. Totally behind you buddy. Besides who’s going to argue to much with an old guy. The chances the old guy is right are not always worth the risk. Old guys rule.
Love to hear a little about your story. Your comment is much appreciated. We do the best we can every time we go. No shame in trying to get what is owed every time. Thank you for the comment and thanks for watching. Go old guys!
