Tom - it's great that you're posting these informative vids. A lot of us had to learn this the hard way. Fortunately, my yards are great with helping people learn. That's not always the case around the country, making your vids very valuable.

@iScrapApp 3 года назад

Stick with that yard then! Always nice to find a yard that will talk and work with you... thank you for watching!

@DieterSoegemeier 2 года назад

For a growing metal recycler this is valuable information. Thank you

@iScrapApp 2 года назад

You are welcome!

This info was great and helps me clasify my scrap better for profit, Dieter from CPT Trust in Brisbane Australia.

Happy to help!

I just got in 5000 lb of coper wire I am cleaning copper has gone down should I sell as i clean it or will it go back up also peru and chille will raise copper mining tax does that mean that copper will go up even more especially for us urban miners

@lenscap8925 3 года назад

Informative video, you didn't hit on the one thing I am finding in transformers...Aluminum wire. What is it classified as? I was under the impression this is very hi-grade material, but seems to be discarded as cheap material. Is it easier to just throw it in as irony aluminum/mixed metal?

@iScrapApp 3 года назад

Well, for instance, at Rockaway Recycling, we buy clean aluminum wire for $0.72/lb. So yes, not exactly the most valuable material, but you can still make some extra money on it.

@silverking4281 3 года назад

Aliminum wire is good wire but most transformer wires do have lacquer on them unless it's copper it is worth cleaning

@cuscrapping 3 года назад

And don't clean your product once you are in line to weigh. Be considerate and have your stuff cleaned and sorted so you're not holding up others!

@iScrapApp 3 года назад

Absolutely 🙌 we always suggest cleaning prior to coming to the yard

@nescrapper4023 2 года назад

All the yards i deal with allow 2 percent steel in cast

@sojourner1511 3 года назад

Thanks Tom, great info. What about various aluminum cans. Not soda/beer cans. But such as Tuna, cat food, sardine cans etc. etc.? Thanks again.

@iScrapApp 3 года назад

Generally, they would also be aluminum and the only real test you could do at home is the magnet test. However, scrap yards may have analyzers and you could probably bring it to your local one (if they have it- call first) and have them verify it for you

@cricketman7335 3 года назад

I think what sojourner was asking was, for non-soda/beer food cans that ARE aluminum, like Friskies cat food cans, Hormel Ham cans/containers, Vienna Sausage cans, etc., what grade or classification would those fall under? Of course the paper labeling needs to be removed to be considered clean, I assume anyways.

@copperraccoon 2 года назад

Soda/beer cans are UBC (Used Beverage Cans), but cat food / seafood cans / take out food containers will generally go as mixed / domestic aluminum (or other words, whatever your local yard calls its lowest grade of clean aluminum).

@arielkozak 3 года назад

Fun tip, I get a sledge hammer and crack the aluminum off any iron still attached to make it clean

@iScrapApp 3 года назад

Great tip! Easy and simple way to make some more money

@GRSG 11 месяцев назад

This is great info. Can anyone point me towards the type of scrap aluminum that is cast with impurities such as steel, nickel, etc. You know the type of aluminum from cast engine blocks, rads etc? The stuff that might end up in landfills.

@iScrapApp 11 месяцев назад

Tons of places, auto yards, patio sets etc!

@Luck3257 11 месяцев назад

What about if you melted it down into bars for casting. What would it be then?

@jopaul32 Год назад

Thanks... I still have NO clue how to identify different grades?!

@iScrapApp Год назад

Thanks for watching. Check out this blog post and video for more info. Hope it helps: iscrapapp.com/blog/5-types-grades-of-different-aluminum-scrap/

@4CarbideGaming 3 года назад

is that a Jeeps 4.0 water pump

@Stoney47 9 месяцев назад

can paint be on clean alunminum?

@iScrapApp 9 месяцев назад

Yes, but you will get a different grading/price for it

@paulcoenen7918 Год назад

The Alter metals yard near me pays less for aluminum breakage or ironyaluminum than they do for scrap steel. Not sure how that works but they are not very helpful when giving advice and very quick to down grade for the tiniest about of contamination. They do seem to pay better than most yards for everything but scrap steel.

@iScrapApp Год назад

Contaminated products have less of demand because not as many aluminum or steel mills want to deal with them. Many of these go overseas.

@usupercarsa Год назад

what is the last scrap called？

@TheMrEric12 Месяц назад

The last one was a rain gutter

@scotthoward4836 Год назад

So painted is also dirty?

@iScrapApp Год назад

Yes it can be

@CuSTACKS 3 года назад

How do you know if I gave you dirty metal such as aluminum with steel screws if I have a few hundred pounds unless you go through it one by one which would take all day and I would be just 1 customer.

@iScrapApp 3 года назад

At our yard, Rockaway Recycling, we would classify it as dirty. We like to believe that our customers would be honest and not require them to sort through each piece, but I'm sure there are plenty of yards who feel differently and would make you sort.

@mysterybuyer3738 2 года назад

They just weigh all my aluminum together even if I separate it.

@iScrapApp 2 года назад

Have you asked them why?

@mysterybuyer3738 2 года назад

@@iScrapApp It's what they do around here. Scrap yards come and go. They all have always had one price for anything clean aluminum. They have said it was because of the market ( I think they mean the local weak market ) They have to truck this stuff to the bay area of California to do anything with it. Couple hundred mile trip.
