I decided to make a video of 5 places that I have found scrap copper and this is what I came up with. Let me know what you think.. just trying out different types of videos.
All of the air conditioners we scrap are and must be emptied by the hvac tech before we purchase them and if we come across one that is still full of gas I have a hvac friend who recovers and recycles all the gasses! The ac you see in the video was emptied out of all gasses and then refilled with pressurized air from an air compressor so I could cut it open in this video to get more comments.. Should I make a video of how to re-pressurize a condenser unit with compressed air..?? hahahah
You obviously never passed the epa test. You definitely vented that gas that’s not compressed air. Not only illegal, immoral and terrible for the environment but a 40k fine. Not funny.
i haven't made it to the big time yet, commercial grade motors and transformers... still piddling with household stuff, but i've just started so... i like the way you went thru it all, (separated) and identified what was in the truck, lol, but at least where i'm at it doesn't snow...
haha I haven't made it to the big time yet either I wish I had but all we can do is one step at a time and keep working in the right direction. Slowly I'm starting to learn more and make more connections so it does get better slowly 👍 Must be nice! are you just trying to rub it in? its the middle of winter here right now and it sucks! lol
Good video. Its copper I'm mainly into, along with cable and brass. But I'm currently saving up for a truck and then I will be taking steele and anything metal, so good to know how to get more copper. 👍👍👍
awesome good to hear I used to walk around with my dog and just find metal then got a car then a truck. copper and non ferrous metals are nice of course but steel is a steady supply and helps to pay the bills
seen a few of your comments sorry I haven't been back on here in so long now I've been struggling with things. I'm back at it now and am going to be posting again!
@CYRUS DAWSON, my plan is this: fours days a week in the van. Three days on the bike and an occasional day off. I say day off, I'm sure I'm like most scrappers, we still tend to do a bit of cleaning up of scrap and generally still scrapping. This is my favourite occupation I've ever had. I scrapped as a kid, as a teenager and now as an adult. I plan to always be a scrapper. As long as my body allows me to. All the best buddy.
If you run a Sawzall down the sides of those coils and cut the copper to get more for it the coils are aluminum copper mix so you only get like half of the price so if you cut the copper off to get quite a bit more
I just knew someone would bring that up. If you pay someone to remove the ac gases you would not be making any money. And besides laws were meant to break. Hell with them.
Thank you so much for the information.. Where would you recommend for a person just starting out to find such treasures? I see the value in your information. If you had to start over, were would you start your treasures hunt at?
Hey thanks for watching! if someone is just starting out id start by searching the streets on garbage nights as well as dumpsters.. start trying to do some advertising in your local area offering free pick up. Start learning slowly and slowly building some connections with clients and scrap yards. Ask lots of questions at your local yard
I also found a local electrical supply guy that buys and sells certain used equipment for much more than scrap. Cuttler Hammer (?) Breakers are in demand.
Local? local to where? I would like a connecting that buys electrical equipment lol I mainly sell stuff on eBay if I think there will be any sort of demand for it, sold some large breakers before
What about plumbing copper? Granted new construction is more into PVC but I get most of my copper from bathroom and kitchen remodels (big role off dumpsters in the street)
Right!!...so how do I get that transformer. I know there is a shit ton of copper in it. How do I find them? I think this vid may be for people trying to understand where copper is located. IDK! LOL
You can get a transformer at your nearby substation. But you wont enjoy the spoils because you will probably be dead. And your family will be without power for up to 30 minutes.
Yeah not going to find that many or those type of things at the curb very often or ever lol Ive been doing this for a while so you slowly build some connections and I'm always searching and advertising in different ways offering to pick up scrap metals or offering to buy scrap. I've only been to a few auctions but I have a buddy who works with storage unit places so we get some connections through that as well
Now, HERE'S a good question.. Do you keep it & melt it down or do you turn it in?? I'm melting mine down as I find it & turning them into 5lb bars of solid copper ingots, that of which I have 10 currently, with another 30-40lbs sitting in a tub waiting for spring to come back so I can start melting again.. (edit) I mean, you've already got the tools to extract it all, it's actually pretty fun to melt it all down & turn em into ingots, they look nicer too!!😁. During the lockdown I picked up a smelting furnace, some molds & a bunch of crucibles & haven't looked back!!
Nice I've always wanted to try melting some ingots my self as well but I never got around to it. most scrap yards don't actually like buying ingots unless you have a close contact with them because they don't know forsure what's in it..
what type of wire can you buy for that price? there is a lot of competition with buying copper around here so you'd be really lucky to have a source at that price
Thats the big question.. the real struggle is finding new connections and ways to advertise. like most types of business new / unique forms of marketing is what's going to make the most impact
If you see any construction sites or where an old building is being remodeled you can stop by and ask. If you know anyone that works in restaurants have them keep an eye out bc restaurants are always getting new equipment. If your area has a spring cleaning time where they pick up large items for the dump be prepared and especially drive through the more affluent areas as the wealthy tend to throw out good things. Look for old illegal dump sites.

@@ScrapRushUK glad you are doing better and back to posting as well. sometimes we need a break and sometimes it helps feeling like starting fresh again
I have seen a couple of guys on UA-cam that actually buy insulated wire and then strip it to maximize the profit. Not sure where they buy it but I suspect demolition companies may be willing to sell rather than do the work
I bought the trailer for cheap off of Kijiji.. just got lucky and found a good deal after searching for a long time and then added the winch on my self. bought the winch on clearance at princess auto for cheap too!
I think he's asking how much a kg of copper is worth , since a kg is 2.2 pounds and copper clean or #2 for most other people is (at my yard 3.73/lb right now that would make a kg of copper 8.21/kg) however if it's bright wire (4.10 at my yard rn) then it's 9.02/kg
@@joehertel8846 thanks for clarifying it for him and me lol. Right now #2 copper is at $4.40-$4.50 right now in my area! Crazy high prices! Near Toronto Canada
I got a lot of the motors from one connection I had for a while I no longer get them from him though. just advertising in different ways trying to find more connections
No a transformer isn't a battery, a battery stores power and a transformer transforms the power into different voltages.. I do not know very much about either of them my self either. except how to recycle them 👍
As I'm watching this video I am looking at the "next up" video which reads 'How to make 900 dollars an hour scrapping copper' and thinking "ok that is some bull."😂💤
Always searching for more 5 star scrap yards lol. I get pretty good prices because I have been dealing with the same people for a while and I sell stuff in larger quantities. Also being centrally located there's lots of competition in my area
You didn't really explain where you're getting all of these copper items. Most are not easy to find and even far more rare to acquire without paying for them.
I had the scrappers fuckin wet dream of an opportunity so a guy from green bay calls me and says he owns so and so business and he needs a guy with a truck to come out to his job address (taking 2 old parking lot light fixtures down and putting in led) the job had 380 or so light pole fixtures and there is 2 on every pole imagine the door of a dishwasher all the way around same size all cast aluminum wired with nice thick 10g house wire and a beefy transformer containing from 3-5lbs of copper on every one. Now remember almost 400 of them! The cast alone I made a killing
If you let that refrigeration gas out into the open air here in Australia, you would cope a Hugh fine and if the Authorities found out that you are a serial offender, you would most likely have stint behind bars. And rightfully so
I understand scrapping but you never let a/c fluid out into the air if you gonna do this kind of money making deal do it right ....... 1 fine from epa youll quit
I'm in the US-Minnesota and nobody here will buy burnt copper.. and if you try to sell to scrap yard that isnt fond of you or your attitude they will report to authorities your license and information to be on file for theft and burglary type crimes. So we NEVER burn here.. love video but too big for me.lol
My yard won't buy wire if it's burned unless you have papers showing you were hired to cleanup after a housefire and on the rare occasion they do buy it they will only give the person the lowest copper price they have at the time like insulated copper wire low grade price .
@@joehertel8846 Yeah as I understand it here in Ontario yards are not supposed to be allowed to buy burnt wire anymore but there are still places around that will buy it.. Enabling and almost encouraging people to burn it and hurt the environment lol
There’s shops and scrap yards and private mechanics doing these things in shops around the world and no one is watching or paying attention or cares, it’s only when someone posts a video that all your environmental experts want to put their two cents in. If they really cared, instead of making a comment that had zero impact and changes nothing. Actually get up off your ass and go to auto shops and air conditioning heating companies. Take a camera with you and document and do something to take action!! Don’t just anonymously point out obvious shit just to feel important like you actually care. At the end of the day you should worry more about the obvious things that are plain for everyone to see. Worry about the blatant pollution and destruction of the planet we all need to survive! Every day you start your vehicle and drive it back n forth to work your daily emissions are far worse than the occasional release of refrigerant into the atmosphere. The fact remains. The tougher it becomes to have a garage or so called professional mechanic fix your vehicle, the more people who learn to make their own repairs at home and will cut corners and save whatever money they can. Most ac units in any car that’s not regularly maintained and are at least a couple years old will leak out all the refrigerant eventually. One rubber gasket , gets worn or dry rot and it will leak. Whoever complained about this guy, I’ll bet at least one of them is currently driving a vehicle that is leaking refrigerant or oil or coolant and isn’t even aware or is and don’t care. Moral of the comment is there’s much bigger problems and concerns that you can actually do something about. Also never assume what you see in a video is the whole story. People usually edit and don’t tell every detail. Which was the case in this video and most that I’ve seen people jump to conclusions and make assumptions. Pretty sure most have heard the saying when you assume, you make an ass out of yourself or something like that!! Thanks for the guy who took the time to make the video so it could help others. I’m sure he appreciates the assumptions of how he does or doesn’t do things!
@@kadehebert4054 lol I'm sure people do steal stuff because its valuable but I do not steal anything. most of the time if it is a valuable thing I am recycling I my self had to pay someone or a business for it. I offer to pick up and pay depending on what it is and where they are located
lmao want me to deliver cash right to your door for you? you need to do the work your self.. no one is going to tell you exactly how to do it and hold your hand so you can make some money. if you want it too get out there and start trying to get it!
lol you are on a negative commenting spree? Of course I don't leave that crap on the copper before I sell it.. if I did I wouldn't be able to sell it for top dollar if it was too hard to separate maybe id sell it as dirty copper.. that seem shady? lol

I’m sure he appreciates the assumptions of how he does or doesn’t do things!

@@kadehebert4054 lol I'm sure people do steal stuff because its valuable but I do not steal anything. most of the time if it is a valuable thing I am recycling I my self had to pay someone or a business for it. I offer to pick up and pay depending on what it is and where they are located

lmao want me to deliver cash right to your door for you?
you need to do the work your self.. no one is going to tell you exactly how to do it and hold your hand so you can make some money.

So many whiny wankers, don't watch it if making your menstrual cycle start earlier than usual
BAD RECYCLE!!!!
You cant leave insulated wire and other plastic and crap from motors on the copper, just a bad way to show shady work
lol you are on a negative commenting spree? Of course I don't leave that crap on the copper before I sell it.. if I did I wouldn't be able to sell it for top dollar if it was too hard to separate maybe id sell it as dirty copper.. that seem shady? lol
That stuff gets released all over every day. I just cut the pipe as well. Big deal!
