Lazy people will always hate on the man who is willing to hustle. My only regret is not getting into scrapping sooner.

That's exactly right. People have to s*** on how I make money. Because they don't want to believe that it's that easy that I can make so much money for working. Basically, part time and make more in a week than they make in a physical month

Don't be jealous.. My prices are pretty good. I was just talking with a guy who rented a u haul truck and filled it with all of his copper. Between the price difference and the amount he had. It was twelve thousand dollars extra for a two day run.. He found the buyer in Jersey. That bought everything he had and paid cash

Mike i think the difference is you have way more volume then alot of us. If i get 6 airconditors i scrap them all. But if you get 60 a week you don't need to.

I'll be honest with you when I first started doing scrap metal. I never even tore the air conditioners apart. I was just dump them at the scrapyard.. Probably for ten years I dumped off thousand of them.

A/C units ,boilers with the big removable copper coils are my bread and butter. Today Saturday I did with my partner I did all the light iron that was around the units and as we pulling in a guy was leaving and offered us 2 older window units he knows we take them all apart he didn't have Time so the 2 units the 4 fin (aluminum copper condenser) the 2 sealed units the 2 electric motors the little bit of #2 copper and yes I take the ends off the cut offs plus little bit of none prepared wire we got 140 bucks. The light iron of the units I didn't do we save it for next week. Recycle ♻️ ♻️ ♻️ or Die 😂 keep on scrapping copper pipe #1 and bare bright keep on going up!!! We do a few HVAC companies that have fenced in areas they throw everything water heaters boilers the big outside a/c units duct work old tools wire ect. And don't cut open electric motors or sealed units 🤔 not worth it like they said but wire stripping with the machine and cutting off all soldering ends on copper pipe is worth it right now it's in the high 3 4 dollars range

I just made my first scrap run yesterday and I got $60 for it (the majority came from a bunch of sheet copper planters (which I never knew existed until now). I did it for earth week 2024. $3.25 for #1 copper in the rubber city. Slightly less for #2 how much are CRT TVs worth in scrap in your area? I know they have more value in scrap than sentiment.
@Adventureswithmike1
@Adventureswithmike1 4 месяца назад
Nobody locally buys them. They have no value. That's why we charge to take them.. But we found a whole sale buyer That only wants them by the 53 ft trailer load..

The big air conditioners I get from the hVac companies They have to drain them. Or I won't take Em now the little ones. Most of the time don't have anything in them at all. But my buddy comes and puts the gages on them. It's like a pinch peace that goes on the line and sucks out what he can.. But there's always a little bit that's left.. Which is just the way it is
