👇🏾 below 👍🏾 Copper tends to yield the most money compared to other recyclable scrap metal. If you renovate your home or own a business that produces junk metal, consider recycling it for extra cash. Most copper wire requires a little prep work to command the highest price. It often has insulation or other attached components that brings its value down. Collect scrap copper wire until you have about 20 lbs. or more, remove the components and bring it to a recycling center to sell. 1. Separate your copper wire into grades. Grade three includes copper foil and other thin pieces of copper. Grade two includes copper wire that is corroded, tarnished or painted. Grade one copper wire is clean and has no paint, varnish or any other alterations. Recycling centers pay the most for grade one wire and the least for grade three. 2. Call local recycling centers and junk or scrap centers and ask about their current copper prices. The price of copper fluctuates often and you might find a better deal depending on where you go. Ask each recycling center if they give you a lower price for your copper wire that still has insulation attached to it. 3. Remove any metallic components the copper wire might have. These can include end fittings and brass connectors. Removing these components raises the value of the copper, but leave them on if they do not come off easily with your hands. 4. Strip the insulation off if the recycling center pays less for wire with insulation. Slide a sharp knife along the insulation and peel it off. Small-gauge copper wire is challenging to strip; if you have trouble, leave the wire as is and avoid risking injury to your hands. 5. Bring your copper wire to the recycling center and watch while the clerk weighs it. Ensure that none of the wire hangs over the edge of the scale. The clerk calculates the price he will pay you based on how heavy the copper wire is. Things Needed Warnings Avoid burning copper wire to remove the insulation. (reference 2) Avoid selling to recycling centers or scrap dealers who use portable scales. These scales can become inaccurate and you might make less for your wire. How do you recycle copper wire? How do you clean scrap copper wire? What is the scrap price for copper wire? Can you scrap copper wire?
If the oil was made before the seventies it had pcb'sin it. todays oil is mostly mineral oil or silicone oil, silicone being cheaper to insure because it doesnt burn if the transformer caught on fire, example a lightning strike or a short in one of the coils.
You should see the Transformers Inside old forklift battery chargers I bought one from a scrap yard for 50 bucks and within an hour had 60 lb of copper from these two Transformers inside of it alone and the windings were half inch square pieces of copper not actual wire
I love how they spin the wrench a quarter turn and then take it off and put it back on, just spin it in a circle really fast and then the bolt will come off faster lol
If you look closely he has a lifting lug in his way, a battery impact would be the ticket, but he only has a ring spanner so he is limited in his operational capacity. Plus he has all day and little to show for it, you don't want to wreck yourself
these men are really talented at what they do. I scrap so i have some idea of what they are doing. image how much more they would process with some battery or pneumatic tools.
Yes that's the best way to assure the workers have a bout with some form of, usually brain cancer In the future. The oil is toxic/radioactive. I've handled such oil in my younger years one time and was surprised to find simply allowing it to get on my hands was enough to cause my mouth to become completely numb. I quickly realized I shouldn't be playing with that crap. It's almost not worth going after the copper due to having to deal with the oil which almost always finds it's way into the ground at the spot where the transformer is dropped/stolen off the telephone pole.
Wow that's amazing And thanks for sharing the details....I had no idea.....how much does it cost new and how much as scrap? I'm curious and thanks for the update.
It's also the first thing that came to mind when I saw them. The 2nd being that they did not have a mask either (like the gases contained in these transformers) and that anyway they did not protect not the soil on which they dismounted their stuff ... So I stopped the video because frankly I do not see the interest of showing the destruction of our Earth by pronouncing a so-called "ecological recycling" !!! Pfff, a beautiful bunch of morons beach tap !!!
Gotta admire their hard work. But... from the scrap from one transformer you could have a nice battery impact. Get that shot done three times as fast making three times the cash.
This is an electric power company recycling depot. These people don't make money recycling, they get paid dismantling. All these still belongs to the power company. So dream on people
OMG, This must be Mexico. In the USA even the 'non-PCB oil has some PCBs in it as both were made in the same plant. Now of course, nowadays totally non PCB oil is used. IT MIGHT be that non PCB oil was used in these countries as PCB oil was more expensive. By the way oil is used as an insulator.
I have scraped a large 500KVA dry transformer already and let me tell you it was a lot of work and I had power tools. The good part was I got $3500.00 for the copper
Isn't that oil PCB oil , handle with care a and avoid direct contact on your exposed skin, rubber gloves guys. Probably need some respirators as well. Careful disposal of oil is a must it is full of dioxin if I remember correctly.
They did that the hard way lol once you have the copper bearing parts you toss them into a nice hot fire with wood over the top of that and it won't even smoke
At those yards they are there for a reason by then. It also means fixing it, storing it, advertising and finding a seller. Which would cost these kinds of businesses more from time spent
@@sneakyguy4444 I'd be willing to purchase 15 million USD yearly just for the transformer core. They did all the hard work taking the old windings off. I'd then resell them wound up to 3rd world countries that need them.

Hi
Give me contact no ber
PCB = CANCER .
NADA DE PROTECCIÓN QUE MAL QUE TRABAJAN AHI
Ttt
Isn’t the oil carcinogenic ?? I may be mistaken but years ago an old guy told me there were PCB’s in commercial transformer oil.
Yes, I believe it to be extremely toxic to humans and most animals
No. It’s made from seed oils.
I noticed transformers from some electronics I took apart had an odor, almost metallic smell....wh at is that?
yes you are right
If the oil was made before the seventies it had pcb'sin it. todays oil is mostly mineral oil or silicone oil, silicone being cheaper to insure because it doesnt burn if the transformer caught on fire, example a lightning strike or a short in one of the coils.
Nice work there lad's cheers from Scott's recycling ♻️ 👍
ReCycling is Resourcefulness at it's Best !!
🇨🇦
Wow, "safety sandals" -- so much more comfortable than the steel toe work boots, and other other safety items they insist we wear at work....
If only could find some of those on the curb once in a while
i wish i wish
You should see the Transformers Inside old forklift battery chargers I bought one from a scrap yard for 50 bucks and within an hour had 60 lb of copper from these two Transformers inside of it alone and the windings were half inch square pieces of copper not actual wire
I found 1 on some wasteland the other day heavy didn't have oil it had grease in it.

It's easy to see that workers protection is of paramount importance at this plant...
An interesting episode, I also dismantled such a large transformer :)
What about the health hazards of PCB's to the workers? Other than that the copper would be good.
Ron Johnson they have their osha supplied safety crocs on, its fine

Nice 👌.. If that fell on his foot don't think he would be happy 😊
If only they had the proper tooling they could finish in a quarter of the time.
they are getting paid a quarter of the day
Same thing I thought in the first 30 seconds when they had hand wrenches
First time to see inside high voltage transformer
2:31 that is an interesting fygocentric pump.What is their standard price ?
nice to see such large transformers, but would be nice to have a place where you can collect the remaning oil of the parts, not the soil...
Thanks for uploading this video
Gracias por su explicación del Bobinado.
Thats a big one!!Damn....💪👍👍👍
I wish i had that copper in my back yard L O L . interesting video, chuck out.
Ihope you put that oil on your salade.LOL
:D
@@GM-mj6nm :D
What was the secondary voltage of the first one i never seen 4 secondary terminals only 3
3 phases and neutral
I wonder if they check for pcbs in the oil
Those open toed sandals look totally OSHA approved and safe.
All the correct safety gear ....
Who else would rather hear the natural background sound rather than the over dubbed elevator music?
I would any day.
These people would benefit greatly from some power tools
Mmmm.... i love the taste of PCB-oil in the morning
Watching this video makes me realise there’s more than meets the eye....
I wish I could get my hands on some of those transformers
Does anyone know where I can get 23456...... of these transformers from and a pair of those safety sandals from.
Bro be living my wildest dream rn
it would be quicker with an impact wrench ?
great good tehnikal video!!!!
These guys are working with tools from the stone age.
Wow that's amazing And thanks for sharing the details....I had no idea.....how much does it cost new and how much as scrap? I'm curious and thanks for the update.
@CYRUS DAWSON thank you, you're awesome!
dont use security boots?
No osha in 3rd world

Pfff, a beautiful bunch of morons beach tap !!!
Which country is that? Sandals for total security kkkkk
I wonder how many galllons of PCB laden oil has been poured out on the ground at that site.
What about the PCBs?
3rd world countries don’t care about health or just don’t know what the word carcinogenic means
Mga bossing, meron ba kayong for sale na scrap electric power transformer.? Very interesting sir..
Nice sandals
1$ for 1L of transformer oil?
WOW! Give me a contact
Gotta admire their hard work. But... from the scrap from one transformer you could have a nice battery impact. Get that shot done three times as fast making three times the cash.
How many kilos of copper in this kind of big transformer? I am just asking refference, pls. Reply!
El PCB no es peligroso?
I really don't mind to get the copper, but watching how a machine like this is built inside
Que hacen con el aceite ?
Where can I find those transformers in U.S ? I want to buy them for their copper wiring inside. I need 2000MT per month.
я в детстве также добывал медь из трансформаторов на электроподстанции
а потом бегал от милиции))) я из списаного воен оборудования и старых телевизоров и мониторов добывал
Duh! Wat's PCB??? :)
Right!!!! lol that was my first thought too! do you even think those poor works knows, they are swimming in Polychlorinated biphenyls contaminates !
Belle le scarpe anti infortunistica. Ľ olio fenolico ci friggi il pranzo o lo butti nel fiume?
I looking for machine recycling oil transfers
Transformer ka old/expire Aluminium wire ka per kg price kitna hai??
Those guys working in that yard in sandals....damn how many toes been lopped off!
say thanks they are not barefooted
für 100kg Kupfer bekommst in Gernany 500 € 18000 Bath
Good copper price
did it have any electronics inside?why was that part skipped??
Some large xformers are worth many times the copper value.
they need a pnuematic socket drive. it would make quick work of the nuts and bolts
they are wearing flip flops bro.....
Where is this at?
David Adams 🌮 land
How can we know that it was safe to open, i want also to dismantle one
This is an electric power company recycling depot. These people don't make money recycling, they get paid dismantling. All these still belongs to the power company. So dream on people
highyly dangerous too, highly toxic
how much do you cost 1 kilogram of copper and aluminum?
copper sells for 6$ - 4,30$ per kg
allumiun sells for 1,50$ - 1$ per kg
in my country (Turkey)
OMG, This must be Mexico. In the USA even the 'non-PCB oil has some PCBs in it as both were made in the same plant. Now of course, nowadays totally non PCB oil is used.
IT MIGHT be that non PCB oil was used in these countries as PCB oil was more expensive. By the way oil is used as an insulator.
No ratchets, sockets, impacts, no nothing, at their labor cost add a bunch of efficiency and the boss could be three times as rich.
How much money do you make per hundred pounds
I have scraped a large 500KVA dry transformer already and let me tell you it was a lot of work and I had power tools. The good part was I got $3500.00 for the copper
Libtard union boy cry baby
I'm sure they did proper tests for PCB's
You sell the oil by the liter for $1 dollar. What are they doing with the oil after buying it , do you know ?
Fry chicken
Why do you have so many transformers!!! and where can i find so many?!
@CYRUS DAWSON Or you can make high voltage
Шихтовал я такие трансформаторы в Барнауле...
and the average lifespan of these workers, exposed to PCBs all manner of industrial toxins
and happy to have a job.
Isn't that oil PCB oil , handle with care a and avoid direct contact on your exposed skin, rubber gloves guys. Probably need some respirators as well.
Careful disposal of oil is a must it is full of dioxin if I remember correctly.
Man beachte die Sicherheitsschuhe, sowie das PCB haltige Transformatorenöl im Boden. Wie war das noch mit Umweltschutz?
Can you sell this copper.?
In my country Nigeria, we prefer to refurbish it than to scrap it
how much is the price of 1 transformer, sir
Сколько меди в них😍😍😍
Good question. That's what I've been trying to know. Who can help
Probably would get more for it as a scrap transformer lol.
Mystery Buyer nope
I wonder if they have an accident book if he drops a copper coil on his flip flop and watches his toes fall off.?? He'll be OK though..
12:53 на твк110лм похож.
Только побольше
PCB's just dripping on the ground.. LOL
On his Flip flops 🚑
Very high oil contamination of soil.
It's a very dangerous job and no one protection?
Guy who disembling even not have socks :D
For a second I thought that lift was a fucking makeshift tank 0_o
They did that the hard way lol once you have the copper bearing parts you toss them into a nice hot fire with wood over the top of that and it won't even smoke
All you have to do is dunk it in water and it's number 2 copper it's like 10 cents a pound less lol
Bei uns Plastiktüten verbieten und dort literweise Altöl im Erdreich versickern lassen. Wie krank! Na wenigstens haben sie teilweise Handschuhe an.
aluminum is normal is the low voltage side of the transformers
Bet they only got like $5 per transformer, would make a lot more here in the STATES
That has got to be the most backward way of doing things I have ever seen. A two-minute job taking an hour.
they need a compressor and some impact tools.
You know the trafo is worth more than the copper's weight, right? Not smart folks. I'd rewind the trafo and resell it.
At those yards they are there for a reason by then. It also means fixing it, storing it, advertising and finding a seller. Which would cost these kinds of businesses more from time spent

This should have been titled "How to die before you reach 50 yrs old".
I'm sure the owner is sitting at home, far enough away from those PCB's.
Put some steel cap boots on ya feet
Très cool
With all the money they're making you figure they could afford some power tools it go a lot faster but I guess over there labour is cheap

But isn't that loaded with carcinogenic pcbs and pretty much everybody working there as going to likely have cancer in the next 15 years
Transformer doesn't expire. It's either faulty or it needs maintenance.
