    just found you instant thumbs up Ive been recyling for 40 years ( if you wanted nails for your trolley / go cart /soapbox racer what ever you salvaged the nals from old timber and straightened them to use them I also rescued nuts and bolts from old cars going to scrap I would also remove relays bulbs and fuses

    quick tip if your new to scrapping and seeking out non ferrous I would suggest starting by collecting into coffee jars or cleaned out jam jars . it takes a while to collect small brass from terminals bu you can fill a 300 gm coffee jar reasonably quickly you can also strike off your weekly or daily add ins . gt the kids in on a challenge to fill a gar quicker than you ?

    I honestly enjoyed that very much Sollers. Wow I am really impressed with your hoard of copper in all shapes and sizes, especially that fish ? you feed. You've got a nice stack of wire to strip, lucky you. Those shower units are amazing, haven't seen anything like that here. With the contacts from switches I have recently scrapped, I found that the buttons are magnetic. That strip of copper from the chair lift, also new to me. Keep enjoying what you do, and may the scrap gods smile down on you. 👍

      @SollersScrappingandDiving  2 роки тому +1

      Hi, in honesty I would say no as the main buyers for the amazon ones are re-sellers as a lot of their returns are working. You would be better off doing what I do and trying to find a house clearance company where you can buy faulty electronics by the pallet. It can be worth a call round local companies and looking on eBay. The difficulty is if you have to get delivery though as this is hefty at the moment. Hope that helps 🙂👍

      Not at all, some runs are non-ferrous big bucks, or circuit boards that will get about £1000 a run, but some are ferrous cheap runs and my yard is so local, I would much rather get rid of the bulky iron, and whatever I have stacked up at the time that I am turning in so I don't live in a what looks like a junk yard. I actually don't turn in my copper (except VIR cable), that is all kept if I did take it, I'd obviously get a lot more each run. Scrapping for me is a hobby and most hobbies actually cost people money, hundreds or even thousands, I'm always happy with making any money from mine, it's all a bonus. Obviously if I lived a distance from the yard, I would have to save up the scrap for bigger loads.
