Scrap Metal Recycling - Processing the Stash Into Cash! 

The main reason I like these type of videos is everybody scraps different and sometimes you learn something new. And it's always good too learn something new everyday. Sure there's a chance you don't learn a thing but it doesn't hurt to watch and maybe you can help someone do something alittle easier.

$ 957 total. ($ 422 aluminum rims, $ 171 copper wire, $ 160 car batteries, $ 116 stainless steel, $ 88 aluminum.) Neat!

Okay I'm hooked. I can't believe it was an hour long because I was just fascinated by all the different ways you identified the metal and how you got each separated. This was awesome. Do I always have an hour to watch a video, no, but I did today. Thanks for another great video Thub. Looking forward to the next one!!!

You don’t have to weigh everything out. I don’t weigh stuff when I tear down. I tear down what I get, and I get what life sends my way.

This is going to be awesome, I love long scrap outs 👍👍👍

I just found you and subscribed today. Instead of Netflix and Chill, I’ve been Thub N Chill… I’ve watched 90% of your videos today! No lie. It’s all I’ve done. Keep doing the thing!

Love the extra long video. It's more like watching a TV show than a RU-vid video. Keep doing the thing.

Gotta say. Your videos are really helpful and enjoyable to watch. You’re just the right amount of whacky and sensible. Thanks for doing the thing and sharing

sure wasn't expecting an hour long, but hey you had me captivated the whole time, love the long and short videos equally!

Great job. Canadian Treasure Hunter also does great scrapping and processing videos

That was an interesting assortment of items to scrap out. The labware was good. Good luck selling the remaining labware items. 👍

I watch Scrapping with Grandpop. He also takes the time to sort through his treasures to get the best value out of the items he finds or is gifted. Have learned that he has changed scrap yards to get better prices. Be safe.

Love these longer videos and especially with so much variation and different things scrapped! Make a long video every time you do a clean up like this, I'll definitely enjoy it! :D

Nice to see Gary Oldman has taken up scrapping just in case the acting gig doesn't pan out. Haha!

That was a power of work. Well done and your garage space looks so much better.

You are so tenacious. Good video. Very enjoyable. ☺

Such an array of treasures! I enjoyed the breakdowns, give me insight on how to go about stripping some of my small time scrap. Hope you enjoyed the heatwave. May your weekend be mediocre at worst.

I AM GLAD TO SEE A SCRAPER OUT THERE LIKE ME WHO CLEANS SCRAP LIKE MY SELF .I AM PROUD TO SEE THAT IN YOU... (( ROB THE JUNK MAN WEEKI WACHEE FLORIDA ))

My man thank you so much ! Keep doing the thing champ ❤️

Great video my man! I recently started scrapping and have learned a lot from you. Thank you!!

Love the longer videos

Back in the day fasteners were higher cost due to slower production, material cost and labor was real cheap. Nowadays labor cost is higher than production of small parts.

Man I love scrapping those UPS systems. they're one of the things on my list of fast scrap and good value

Brilliant! Wow Thub done it again. 👏👏👏💙

The easy stuff is just that. The separation of goods where you are helping them help you is the hard part. You don't want to create difficulty with the people at the yard, and the individual can't provide them a commercial volume without the room to store it and time to categorize it, while waiting for a target price. Keep doing the thing.

Always a great day when @thubprint uploads a new video 👍

Oh its very interesting, and I totally loved it!

Better than the light Days !!!

Now that’s a scrapping video! Great job Thub!

Nice pay day, very good inspirational video, clean work and organized. as a scrapper too. I try to keep things the same. save some copper for future sky hi. keep tha good work, wish you good finds and health

The way I see it the Iron and steel gets me by until I hit payday with the more expensive metals. Keep up the good work!

Long videos are definitely content and at least for me, they are at the top of the ranks.

Well that was fast 1 hour :) Great video once more .Thanks ++

Great scrapping video, thanks for showing us how it is done.

Wow you got a lot accomplished! This was fascinating!

looking to get into this in my downtime, you have been a great help. Much love.

Love the video buddy

Great video!

Most definitely enjoying these types of video, keep making them! I'm just done rearranging and cleaning everything up in my little basement shop, that's always fun haha.

good to see you got to enjoy the warm breeze that came through. a little pre spring clean up. nice price on extrusion. i've mainly been collecting scrap to melt. might have to think about putting the extrusion aside. cheers

I'm third! Go Thub!

Brass is my favorite - and my weakness. I find myself spending too much time trying to recover even the smallest bit of poor man's gold! Sometimes.

great video mate, there's something about scrapping I can just sit there and watch it for hours, really enjoyed this one keep up the great work, cheers from Australia :)

I like the longer videos man, on all the channels I watch.. I hate the algorithm!!!! 😂

loved loved this video

Even as a kid I loved taking things apart. Curiosity can be fun

new subscriber, this is such a great video! a lot of scrappers focus mostly on finding and getting rid of, it's great to see the processing and all the little tricks and thoughts that go into it

Great video , keep do them thing , and keep videos comming 👍😁

Took a couple sittings to get through, but cool to see it all come together by getting pulled apart. Thanks Thub

i really like these videos from you thub

You sliding those batteries made me think of you being a ghost buster trying to catch a ghost lol.

Scrapping definitely slows when it’s cold!🥶

This is a winter problem, I’m going through the same thing. It’s too cold to clean my stash so I’ll wait til the spring.

I'm always amazed about the diversity from the scrap u got, there's no routine when u scrap, plus u always learn something new... that's so cool n fun!!! Ty for doing the thing buddy

WOW! Those musical rims were HUGE money. Well done. You have inspired me to go clear out a closet. I love the long video, love the insides of the weird doo dads, love just watching this process. Dunno why, but it's way entertaining, and there's some level of vicarious catharsis watching you dispense with the piles. I also appreciate that all the lab tech doesn't wind up in the landfill, but it's sad to see some of the purpose built goodies not going back to doing their purposes, but I understand that finding their proper new homes is just not feasible. Thanks, Thub. I want that brass gear!

awesome vid lets do it wink wink nudge nudge thubs my uncle, totally down with the secret plan....you know the thing!! lol great vid

Let's get Thubprint to the top Scrapper channel 💪👍 also let them adds play through so our brother gets that extra add revenue 👌

My garage looks exactly like yours lol I need to go . I’ve never been to scrap yard before so I’m trying to sort all my copper as best I can just got done stripping another 50 pounds of bare bright and about 20 pounds of #1/2

Thanks Thub,

The reason I like this channel is I’d rather learn from someone who can take it on the chin in the scrap game because there are always going to be situations where I want to tell someone to F off but being I’m already doing something iffy it’s probably best to oblige and move on finding another dumpster.

I like the can picking video's because I do the same thing.

Great video..U sure do a lot of work taking all that stuff apart

Nice

Good job

I'm pretty sure that those pump things you dismantled were some sort of hydraulic fluid injectors. If the item seems to be relatively intact and in decent working order, it is now possible to take a picture of it and a google app will identify it and list its relative dollar value as an intact working device. I started watching your channel, to figure out the optimum way to dispose of some major hi-tech machinery that I got saddled with. Among many other things crammed into my basement, I have two 4'x4'x8' silicone chip manufacturing machines, two 4ft tall 5ft long, industrial lasers (working w/manuals), 3 industrial MEGA microwave generators Weighing nearly 100 lbs each (also working w/manuals and precision computerized control units themselves the size if a microwave oven), and a never opened industrial grade hydrogen generator (I'm probably going to KEEP that one, though). I love taking stuff apart, but I'm in way over my head with these and don't even know where to start I've always been a science geek with a touch of mad scientist/inventor. I appreciate the practicality with which you approach scrapping, but I practically cried watching you dismantling the stirring hot plates. it was somewhat comforting to hear that you had set the nicer ones aside. If it doesn't take much to refurbish the nicest working pieces, they will certainly fetch a better price than scrap value. Where does one obtain such pallets and bins of science-y MacGuiver goodies?

Good work Thub , persistence & commitment wins the race . $200 is $200 at the end of the day whether it took you 3 hours or 3 days , still a nice little tickle and better than a poke in the eye with the shitty end of the stick 🤣🤣🤣 As ever , hi to Wub .

I applaud what you do, I understand it is for income and content but you are also leaving a better world for the children of the future. Why let metals that took so much energy to refine rot in a landfill? Thank you

Yay first Great video. Exactly the reason I started scrapping as I'd take stuff apart and realised hey this has to be worth something. Dont you put tyre valves in with the brass? It's where any I have end up

Separate as you go my friend!

FYI hex keys (Allen wrenches) work really well in triangle screws.

Heck of a hoard you have there in that garage. Those rims alone will be a great payday! We can only turn in 2 batteries at a time. Way to spend some winter time. Spring will be here in no time. Happy Scrapping.

Gotta come back for the rest of the show but all I can say as always. On point ✌️

I can do that all day long and enjoy doing it.

Dang those ring stand clamps were nice 😅

I love ur vids thub! U do a great job explaining everything from just about every angle! I've been scrapping for years,and never even got 1 rim, how the heck do u get all those RIMS!! Hahahhahah..love the stack man! U the man!! I love that copper heat sink

You should catch Cu thieves. Put GPS inside batteries on pallet & leave in corner of large yard beside chain link fence as if forklift driver forgot it there.

Definitely liked the fast edits with the wire sorting and then again at the scrap yard with the rims. I really liked how you put the resulting totals as graphics over the shots of you unloading each. It was a very nice touch. Next time, add the per pound prices, and you'll be golden. If you did already, and I didn't notice, my bad and maybe leave them on screen a little longer

Yo Bro, you should invest in a devil forge. Save up all the little bits and melt them into ingots. Purified aluminum from all that dirty, painted, glue covered aluminum is worth so much more. I know my scrap yard will buy Al ingots up here in oil country. Go Oilers Go

Great longer video

cool edit on the rims

It would be fun to make the couple hour trip to come visit Thub I'm west of Edmonton an hour! 👍

I got to like 37 min. I enjoy the content bro. Thanks

Nice Thub... I was watching while scrapping my own stuff! I'm planning a big load to Melbourne next week if the weather cooperates (ie. not too hot!). I'd better film it I suppose! 😁

great video loved it super informative and lots of wierd bits and bobs! 52:07 sonic's rings?

Imagine scrapping a coil heat gun instead of trying to fix it to make your scrapping easier those things make metal hot enough to be able to even bend it break it and they're used on engine bolts and anything metal pretty much

Thank you for a long vid, I'm looking to kill some time as I'm in the Covid jail and can't go to work until next week. sigh Thanks for the scrapping vid, once again, time to head to those construction dumpsters in the new developments and get some 2" foam board scraps and put them up, caulk in between and your little stove will be baking you out in your shop, also, you can get some nice 2 X lumber from those bins! Great Job!

Great video, was wondering if you do any ewaste vids?

I’ve never heard of “number 4” haha I love it! Also I hope you brought your stuff in on Thursday because the copper market jumped like 25 cents!!!

At one point we all go through the mess. Very motivating for me to handle it.

ditto, E paid me #2 insulated price in June 2021, then my next scrap load in Oct 2021, same quality of wires, he downgraded to cords/CAT5. Oh well. he must have created new category to fit in what people are bringing in mix bag of #2, cords and cat5 wires. If i knew what his #2 insulated spec beforehand, i would have separated them. Yes, loving the YYC chinook

The tire air intakes are brass, either in shred pile or dirty brass.

12.48 It looks like an alignment tool for fitting a Safe Combination Dial The Rod from the dial has to be exactly straight or Problems WILL occur .

I really miss doing this stuff!!! 😞😞😞

The Valve stems from the wheels should be able to be sold as dirty brass

Where do you get all those rims?? Also I need a small 4 cylinder Longbed truck.i have been looking in Craigslist and Facebook marketplace. Nothing. I have been working out of my good old Camry. Don't know where else to look any ideas. Thank you David

Pretty cool video. You should save center cap they hold a pretty good resale value. If you want to know how I find want a auto part is.

Everyone is definitely different bit to me there is no such thing as dirty brass. I cut it and make it clean. It's worth it to double your money

its funny that ill refuse to scrap in 8 degree weather because that's cold to me haahaha

Hey thub one way to pull the wire outta flex conduit is by taking off about 8 inches of the flex from one end hooking and twist tie the copper wire to something real sturdy make sure the flex is nice and straight and pull the flex off…. If you don’t know about that.
