How to make money with Scrap Metal , Tricks and Tips from the Recycling Brothers
Me and my little brother decided to make a Video about scrapping Metal and give some tricks and Tips on how to make extra money. All this while we are actually doing a Metal run. See what we find and how easy and simple it is!
We do this 5 days a week and always on the go.
Feel free to ask questions and comments :)
We enjoy scrapping metal and I've been doing this since I got laid-off work last year.
My Brother Luc is a Tree Climber by trade, and recycles with me after work when he gets contracts.
Hope you enjoy the video, there will be more to come! :)
In the next couples weeks we will show you how to clean Copper , Brass , Aluminium and other precious metals and take you on are fun metal scrapping runs :)
Edit: This load gave us 165$ canadian.

Lay your sheetmetal the oposite way so it sticks out the back of the trailer that way it WONT fly out

@bcubed72 7 лет назад

No, as you go down the road, the air will LIFT the front. Remember how a wing works? The FASTER air over the top produces lift! Works the same on the highway...I've had my motorcycle fast enough that the wind picked my helmet up, and it was only hanging on my head by the chinstrap. If I hadn't buckled it, it would have gone flying! Back in my younger, stupider days...AKA "young, dumb and full of cum."

@monkeyjuju7441 6 лет назад

That's not at all safe. I'm assuming you're not familiar with that crazy thing called science, so I'll fill you in on a few secrets. First is this thing called air, which doesn't just move front to back while driving, it it basically loops behind the vehicle which would lift the light aluminum sheets up, second is this thing called inertia, which basically is the same thing that makes your head move slightly backwards when you accelerate or forward when you break in a car, the same thing happens to the contents of the car and trailer as well. So with it the way he has it it is simply pushing against the trailer, the other way though it would slowly push its way farther and farther back until wind resistance rips it right out. In short, just tie your shit down secure in every direction and don't leave things sticking out the back of your truck or trailer, that's how stuff flies out and kills people behind you.

MrRuber249 That’s awesome. Keep trying, even if you fall off the Watson. My dad tried many times. Unfortunately, cancer got him at only 55. Don’t give up! On a side note, I loved the accents. My dad was from Ogdensburg, NY. Hearing your voices reminded me of visiting as a kid.

+MrRuber249 awesome! congratulations on that! I need to do the same thing. keep it up!

@GmenAgain 10 лет назад

It's 4:20 and they aren't burning one prior to scrapping? They didn't...and admit to sheet metal almost flying off and possibly killing someone. They started off wrong. In many areas of the US you need to check with local ordinances about dumpster diving. I don't believe there's laws against it...but there are different ordinances that either don't allow it, or only allow it during certain times. Asking a homeowner won't help. Take a moment to go to the town clerk's office. And for god's sake...burn one first.

@baronmarshland3357 10 лет назад

hate when metal scrappers just cut cords off, some of those things work or need little work to get going and sell for way more than scrap value

@SwiftCreationStudio 5 лет назад

I hate when they just clip the copper wire but they ignore the solid copper like on the back of a refrigerator

@TylerSimpsonVlogs 8 лет назад

go to dumpsters behind places where they sale bikes they throw out old bikes...money

@ChaseTerrier 10 лет назад

I know after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, a group of people was collecting all the scrap metal (there was a lot of trash). They made a lot of money. They also helped clean up since there was so much trash.

@fernancruzjr 10 лет назад

hey man you inspired me to do the same thing to supplement my income and help the environment coz honestly landfill are getting really coz people are to lazy to recycle there stuff.and earning money on a legal basis is a good way rather than doing nothing hope you post more videos. thanks

@kiaya007 10 лет назад

lucky that you guys picked up the trailer. you just doubled your income.

@krisraps 10 лет назад

Scraping In My Mind Is More Exiting Then Mining For Gold In Caves And Stuff.. Because You never Know What Peoples May Throw It Out, Its Amazing And Exiting ! Love These Guys, Keep It Up..

@wisheduknew294 6 лет назад

wow, not a bad little side job....great job guys. collecting money and keeping crap out of landfills

@RobPulson 8 лет назад

these rookies need to learn how to have a little respect and secure their load..... not to mention only driving around on trash day is so hit or miss.... gotta supplement with networking with people and construction sites. While im driving around people are calling me to come pick up specific items... can easily make $150 american per day, by myself.... not to mention the motors and cords and other items i save for later breakdown... FYI RU-vid, most scrappers you see on here are rookies or part-timers, take everything they say with a grain of salt.

@MrRuber249 8 лет назад

I am part-time and that,s how I like it, In my city there is a lot of scrappers and most constructions sites keep all the good metals or have a metal bin and they recycle themselves. In my city I do trash runs, 2 zones , So one is recycling while the other its garbage zone wise. But always one with garbage Monday to Friday so for me its way easier and faster, Nothing sucks more then getting a call to pick up a fridge and its on the 3rd floor of a apartment building, Way more fun to just pick one up on the side of the road. and after scraping for over 5 years I have never lost anything on the road because my load wasn't secure. I do have contacts also for a couple construction companies and a couple garages, but again this video is about garbage runs, Not about starting off and getting a network of construction companies and the likes.

nah, subpar information can really steer people the wrong direction or give them a false impression.

@ScrapVulture111 7 лет назад

+LtCol Kilgore: I couldn't agree with you more. Driving around in a truck and trailer @ $4 / gallon (in 2012) looking for tin items when u have no idea where they are, isn't exactly a good idea. Lucky they found them batteries. (no offense guys :)

@RobPulson 7 лет назад

funny how easily they left the brass fittings on the grill also... like how easy are those to clip off? Sometimes i think i should start my own scrapping channel and show these people how to truly make money with it.

@TheGuitarplyr23 11 лет назад

Thanks to MrRuber249 i made $55 today on scrap metal and car batteries.

@MrRuber249 11 лет назад

I can't wait to start scraping again, My trailer is stuck in my backyard, there is a mountain of snow blocking it, The second this white crap melts I'll be scrapping again and making videos. What I hate the most in the winter here is that at 4PM its getting dark, So my video's don't last long, In the summer at 10PM its starting to get dark :P Just 2 months left until I start putting out way more video's with my wife, Since my brother is gone to BC for a while.

@chrisdenney4182 7 лет назад

My wife gets ticked at me because I don't give her the extra money I make scrapping. When I cash in a load, I spend 1/2 of the money on silver bullion, 1/4 goes into an emergency savings account, the last 1/4 goes to a high interest savings account. She'll thank me in a couple of years. lol

@alan30189 10 лет назад

Good job! You kept a lot of trash out of the landfill. I enjoyed the video. And to bust your chops a little: Does your brother ever stop smoking? He is going to die by the time he turns 50 at that pace. I'd like to see you both quit that horrible habit and waste of money. Just a thought.

Has for my wife her English is getting a little better, but she is 99% french Canadian with a heavy English accent! lol I find it sexy lol, She told me next time she should put on a bikini to scrap! she was laughing so I think she was kidding! I hope not lol

@MrRuber249 11 лет назад

Yes, But since I have a trailer its a little easier, We empty the trailer of scrap metal and keep all the good metals in the trailer ( Aluminium , Copper , Stainless Steel etc.Once we empty the truck we trow the rest of the good metals in the trailer also. So we end up with the pickup truck empty and the trailer only has the good stuff left.If some of it needs to be cleaned, we trow it back in the pickup box and clean it later to drop it off the next day. Sorting it gets easier with time.

@tractors44 10 лет назад

Good work, you are good at what you do.

@Tricknologyinc 9 лет назад

I was looking for "SCRAPING" NOT "SCRAPPING"....You guys are a little scrap happy! Did you ask if the dishwasher worked? Often people replace things just to upgrade. Scrap is the lowest possible return you can get on your acquisitions!

@MultiChaga 5 лет назад

Actually in Quebec, you can sell up to $5000. a year per individual, without having to pay income tax on this revenu...Imagine if you'd have to pay income taxes when you protect the environment, this would'nt be fair!

@frelnc 9 лет назад

Wow = that great old sewing machine! And lots of other good stuff. One question. When you broke down that grill into parts a lot of ash and unburned charcoal ended up at the end of their driveway where you were working. Wouldn't it be good to sweep that up? Carry a trash can and keep things clean? Good public relations. And would you ever do a video at the recycle center showing how much you actually made?

@naptownsclown 10 лет назад

Good video...i proclaim myself the scrap king here in Indianapolis I dnt have a trailor but bustin backs of the and flatting grills and other things that are space wasters is key..i make about 17 an hour...btw people saying selling the stuff you would be over run with things that could sell the money flip is much easier scrappin it... Unless its worth alot lawn mowers are a good resell to maximize ur money scrappers should invest in a second hand value store lol real talk

@pidipady 10 лет назад

Great video guys! I posted it on my Facebook page: facebook.com/ScrappingforCash Let me know when you get more videos.

@405adam 11 лет назад

Theres brass fittings in those grills...worth 1.75 a pound......I think you over valued those battries .....We get about $2.50 in florida but i guess they might pay more where your from.....But other than that it was a good video...I scrap all the time....Been doing it for about 5 years now.....You actually taught me something and that is to knock on peoples doors when i see something in there yards....Anyway good video, Keep on scrappin

@bradwilcox6849 5 лет назад

A lot of the items he cut the coards on I normally bring back to my garage and take out the copper motors break em down and copper windings inside and get 1.50/2$ a pound for bare bright.

@hwatever1 11 лет назад

I've recently got into blacksmithing. Would it be worth smelting a bunch of copper 2 wire back into a copper ingot. I am very new to scrapping and am just wondering if a copper ingot would sell for a higher price than crap wire and shavings. I've only worked with iron so far to make tomahawks and stuff. Your Thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

@ChaseTerrier 10 лет назад

Another trick I used is that I let my neighbors know that I bring in the aluminum cans to be sold to a scrap yard. I crush the cans so I can put more cans into one bag. I bring in the cans in once a month and can bring anywhere from $20 to $50 (base on how much I bring and how much it is being sold for).

@MrRuber249 11 лет назад

20 for smokes? What the fuck!? Is that really the price of cigs in the part of Canada you live in? That's insane! I live in Vegas and you can get a pack for a little over 5 bucks. Though in NY I've seen cigarettes sell for $9. But still...Jesus Christ!

@MrRuber249 11 лет назад

Nothing goes to the government! When you bring your empty cans of pop or beer, Do you declare that when you recycle them?

@sonnyc3826 7 лет назад

i found a sewing machine once and it had a bunch of patterns in it..i just ended up scrapping it or sold it cheap i cant remember but that was one that i shouldve looked into a bit more couldve been worth something but i find alot of people like patio sets and bikes i make alot of money selling those when i find them...all sorts of stuff really but mainly those things.
