I have always thought that they were worth the effort to clean them but I sit on my copper and brass until the price is right thank you for sharing this with us six stars brother
A long time back I remember ewaste ben saying any adoptor above 6v is considered as transformers. However looking at this video, I realize this stripping is worth its money. For short time with little effort, you get copper, brass and sheet. A nice video.
I've got bout 250 of those right now. I only break open the heavier ones with the transformers. I get a pickup truck bed load of them with the wire. Every couple of weeks.
Wow!! For that kind of "regular" input, you can set aside a table dedicated to process them. You are a blessed man to get your hands on such huge quantity of copper.
Hopefully you see this. I'm pretty sure if been screwing myself over since I've never taken time to separate my higher content copper cords and never did the transformers just threw them in but if I understand correctly (as someone with limited time) the heavier ones are worth stripping but those light ones I should just leave alone amd throw in with my cords? I finally decided to look up if it was worth stripping because I got an entire call centers worth of their computer and phone cords they must be remodeling
I scrap those by cutting wire throw in adapters w/ nowire barrel when I have a Gaylord of them they go in for 20 cents a pound with other better ewaste. Easy peasy.
Stripping Adapters for Transformers and stripping Transformers for Copper-Copper using that Machete - wow - that works so very well - You told us about a Machete many Times and now we can see how easy it is ! You even got some nice Brass - it all adds up ! Thank You also for Your Explanations ! Canada should have these Metal Recycling Places to extract Copper - Alu - S/S - Gold - Silver etc,etc - why always China - why cant we do it in our own Countries ! We know the Answer - but don't want to get Political ! Canada and Australia and other Countries send Medical Wastes included in the Recycling Containers !!!! Yes 1/2 Pound is 1/2 Pound and Your Copper Container is filling up - we love Your Sessions and many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
Tàn cierto !!! Ví video informativo al respecto !!! No podía creer lo de Canadà y su envio de mugre mezclada en contenefores !! Las pilíticas siempre destruyen el verdadero trabajo de reciclado ;como hace Phil y tantos otros buenos recicladores !!! Saludos desde Argentina !!!👋👍
The answer you are looking for your question have to do with your culture. Idiosyncratic reasons. White people tend to think big and recycling it's not in theirs best interest. indeed you recycle but no a considerable scale or thing that you consider worthy. For instance here in NY a considerable amount of aluminum cans go to waste.. I have seen it, canned food like spam, sausage, soda, beer cans going to landfields...

Cheers buddy if ya find those laptop chargers with the cord intact, they will sell on eBay or marketplace for a quick 20 for sure. I just got in from a crappy load headed out for more vid to come in am! 🍻
I like the chunky square ones with the single transformer. The low grade board ones I might take off the smaller ones and put them with the motors and transformers I don’t take apart.
@@CanadianTreasureHunter 🤣I know it is. I meant for some kind of proper disposable. I have bunch of these case just sitting in my place I don't know what to do and dont want just throw it in the trash can. I will keep digging for info about Thanks anyway for your response.
talking about emty containers, thats why it takes months to get an item to arrive. they wait til its full.. so ya order in july get it by december!! haha
Unless you have a vast endless supply of those ac/dc transformers the scrap value is VERY minimal. I will say it was interesting to see how they were built though.
I'm sorry, but you tried to justify the money you were getting for the effort. Let's see, $2 Canadian for a video that took approximately 18 minutes. This is nowhere close to minimum wage in the U.S. I'd look for something else. Frankly, I'd take the transformers as they are and sell them without breaking them apart. Also, the time spent breaking off the little brass pins doesn't seem to be worth it or even close. It takes a whole lot of them to even get a single pound worth. I've noticed many videos where the author says "it all adds up". But, I suggest to revising that to "it all adds up to a VERY SMALL AMOUNT of money for the time spent." If you are doing this as a hobby and don't care how much you make, have at it. If you want to be paid fairly for your time and car expenses, I'd absolutely pass on much of this. Something that could probably be worth the time to take apart is Romex wire to remove the bare bright copper. (You want to check ahead of time to make sure that scrap yards won't require you to have a business license to sell bare bright copper.) That I feel would pay much more per hour than taking apart adapters/transformers. Good luck to all in their future scrapping endeavors. Thanks for taking the time to make this UA-cam video!
If I sell the adapters to the scrap yard they only pay 7.5 Cents or open them up & Get 50 to 62 Cents per pound for them, Romex is not worth taking apart in large amounts

Even if you remove the plastic you will be making more money
I like your "How To" videos. I will keep my eye open for the heavy Adapters.

I’m glad I watched I was really beating myself up trying to get those apart. Using the hammer all wrong. Thanks 👍.
No problem 👍
The three pinned plug is from the uk and the plastic part is a safety future.so kids can't put objects into the electric socket.👍
I can’t wait to do mine now. I have over 100 of them
Meat Chopper works real good also
Great Video I save all the fat plugs got a few buckets of all different kinds! CheeRs
Love scrapping these 👍🏼 lots of goodies

Welcome my Friend
talking about emty containers, thats why it takes months to get an item to arrive. they wait til its full.. so ya order in july get it by december!! haha
Good video! 👍👍😎
Thanks 👍
I have a garbage bag full of these , kind of a pain to take apart
Tripple M here in Kitchener is buying Number 1 bright for $4.71 ight now Jan 10th 2023. Highest I have seen it.
I have a spare big kitchen knife thats not usable anymore in the kitchen. A viable option instead of a machette?
Go to the 2nd hand store & buy those older big knives for cheap
I’m retired and if I intend to strip it I want it all.✌️
once you scrap the plastic off the the transformer it's worth more than tin
Wow ese machete si que es bien forjado !!!!
Auque lo dejaría que se descargue a la luz de la luna !!!!
😰
Unless you have a vast endless supply of those ac/dc transformers the scrap value is VERY minimal. I will say it was interesting to see how they were built though.
I get lots all the time
Thank
👍
Cool
im glad im seeing this Video i been doing my small transformer the slow way ,,lol
I turned some in today for .23 a pound .
💪😁
i have about 200 of them to strip
For the time it took you to do that, you could have spent the same time striping microwave or larger transformers, and actually made some money!
If i remove the plastic case I get right now 81 Cents a pound or 8 Cents as is
👍🇰🇼❤️
👍👍🙂🇨🇦🔨🪓🧲
All that work for 2 bucks. Nope
It's not work if you like doing it,like sex.
