I can see that you take part in an important place in the supply chain of the recycling industry in all economies of scope. Great job you're doing there sir.
One thing about processing ballast is the smell. You'll never forget it, we sometimes joke about was it worth it. Im Happy to see your wearing a respirator.
The stuff of my dreams....goodies!!! (Definitely a woman who is easily pleased😂) The mini bits of brass in the green ones was a touch👌👍 Great job, love watching it pile up!
All the transformers I get have been removed and replaced by an electrical contractor that does lighting maintenance. 99% of them are already burned up
Having a table or a funnel shaped Shute under your big shears for rubbish to fall into, but overall that gizmo is bloody terrific. Yeh the big mess is the only short fall, but saves a lot of time and effort. Thanks mate, I have only just found your channel, and found this video rather interesting, well done.
I am retired Firefighter/Paramedic. Remember most of that design to be held horizontal mostly. I do like what you are doing with it. Tough stuff we got paid to break stuff.
Yes... but you still have shop (bought or leased), equipment, utilties, taxes, labor, etc. Also takes a lot of time to get your name out there so ppl know who to call to sell their scrap to or have you come pick it up. I'm sure you're still doing well though and very cool to watch the videos.... Hey that's a thought... A video on the business side of scrapping. :-)
I truly hope society will realize soon enough that this line of work needs to be made accessible to as many people as possible, I understand the need of some regulation to avoid ecological disasters like chemicals seeping into the water supply or nasty chemical fires, still, scrapping is one of the most eco friendly jobs I can think of, more so when the items are destined to the landfill, so I truly hope governments will realize that this is capitalism at its finest, people finding way to make money out of recycling.
But then many cities make it illegal to go dumpster diving or picking off the curb. Some stuff you'll find still works and doesn't have to be scrapped, but the stupid city says no, it has to be destroyed and taken to a landfill. That law doesn't stop me though
We got that stupid storm on Friday. I was in middle of my trash pickup and I got completely soaked. Working when you are drenched is no fun at all. I even hated it when I was in the Marines
Excellente vidéo ... le jour où le recyclage sera autant mis en valeur en France... ceci-dit ça serait tellement plus simple d'avoir un bouton au pied pour la presse ...
Very very cool content …😎 jeez if i where 25 again i would get into this… keep uploading content like this and your channel will be a huge success…. Have u done videos on how you source your scrap metal.
Check out tnt rescue tools. More modern rescue shear made in usa and it moves WAY faster than that hurst cutter. But itll set you back quite a bit of money. Might be worth it to you i dunno. I used to help sell them so full disclosure but man, they are some good tools.
It is good to finally see somebody on RU-vid where personal protection equipment mask respirator gloves and no damn flip-flops I watch these idiots on here bring their kids around with all this stuff and debris not realizing later on your lungs are going to be s***
thanks, I am from South Florida so there might be some flip-flops here and there. Lol but not when I’m messing with those heavy lights or those transformers.
Thank you I am always looking for good help. lol I have a ball everyday I don't have to have to go to a 9-5. lol Thanks for watching. sorry for the late response
When I was salvaging I tried o save everything but the steel an cast iron Aluminum peace’s at a rate of three loads at day of cast and steel beams and one Amazing load of long cut aluminum peace’s clean so that was a day 1278$ did that for two months at a Development area I was able to be allowed and given a area to work in just a five guy were allowed it was for just 4 months or when the clearing was done it was cool it whined up taking 6 months due to rain . Just thought I’d share that with you.
I had one on the 2nd press when it was air over hydraulic. It does help. I have been looking for 110v foot pedal for the pump I have now. Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching
Damn I wish when I took my last load of extruded it was 0.98$ … I had 720 pounds of it and got paid .60 a pound…. They gave me dirty because it had screws in it. Couldn’t imagine there was even a pound of screws in the whole load but whatever. I came back the next day with another 150 pounds cleaned
Another awesome video! One question: do you ever do the math to see how much money you're earning by breaking down the transformers, in stead of selling them whole? I trust that you know how to maximise your profit, but I'm just curious
An opportunity missed is an opportunity lost. There simply has to be $$$$$thousand$$$ to be had in smelting a raw product from the huge pile you are dealing with. How that works is beyond my knowledge too tho!
I love you Copper USA Amerika I love you 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 99999999999900000000000000000 Millionen Menschen
You can't make $1,000 a day scrapping you can't even make $100 a day scrapping because you spend all day Gathering it together and then having to separate it takes all day then when you take it in you might average out $100 a day you might get lucky to make $200 a day for a couple of days but you aren't going to make $200 every day and you aren't going to make $1,000 a day you would have to be a scrap yard
You should watch my playlist making money scrapping. lol Most people are not setup like me and don't have the contacts I have and NO ONE has a transformer press like mine that can make $900 per hour. FYI sometimes I buy scrap from scrap yards. lol Thanks for watching.
