Found a brass headboard once being thrown out. Took less than an hour to take out the metal bolts and cashed in for a hundred bucks. Easy money if you can find it!
My yard doesn’t care if it’s all mixed together, but it might be a good idea to keep them separate until you find out how your scrapyard wants it sorted. Thank you for watching.
@@scrapitall200 The yard I go to is hit or miss, depending on what employee is on duty or any random day. Sometimes they tak it all a clean brass, sometimes not. So I do seperate the brass just in case
Thanx dude. One wouldn't believe that Brass is found in Plug Prongs ( but most are slightly Coated hence " dirty Brass" price) Prongs inside Surge Protectors and Electrical boxes. Ceiling fans( not all but check), garden hose Ends, Zippers on most pants. One may think it's brass. Bullets! Some are Brass with a silver color coating. Sometimes it's Aluminum:(. 20 years ago Brass and Aluminum were both 35 cents a pound. We get $2.30 per pound. One Scrapyard didny care if it were chrome plated ( usually found on Beer Keg plumbing ) Lol they even took Water faucets! Lotta plastic and sometimes metal plate. I meticulously take them apart - there is Copper in there. It all adds up! Almost forgot- Bronze gets Brass price. In 20 years Ive only seen 2 Bronze items. 10:23 24:56
That’s why I love brass, it’s found in so many areas. My yard doesn’t care if it has plating or solder or paint, it’s all clean yellow brass to them. I’ve found a few pieces of bronze, but my yard only pays yellow brass price for them, which is fine by me, less sorting lol. Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment, I appreciate it.
I live next to a storage facility has a locked gate luckily the owner got me a key for it in the storage facility has a dumpster the owner lets me bust glass in the dumpster and yes i wear gloves and goggles
Brass = Cash 💰🤔👀♻️. Good Stuff Buddy. Nice Amount You Have There Bro 🤑🤑🤑 Seems like the Newer the Plumbers Brass Sink Parts, the More Plastic You have to Remove 🤔😁. Great Work Mannnnn. Phalanges Definitely Don’t Work Well in the Cold 😁-End Junk Rant
Thank you so much buddy. I found one the other day, not a single piece of metal in it, absolute garbage. No, they definitely did not want to work 😂 Thank you for watching.
Very insightful video, thanks for sharing. Several questions come to mind. Is there a difference in what the scrap yards pay between brass and bronze and if so how do you separate one from the other. The other thing is where do you find all haul like that.
Thank you for watching. Yes, some scrap yards pay a different price for bronze, but most don’t. Yellow brass will look very yellow and bronze will look like a faded copper-ish color. I tell as many people I know that I scrap and they’ll call me when they have stuff or know of people with scrap. Dumpster diving or driving the streets on garbage day is another way to find scrap people are throwing away. Placing ads in local papers saying you’ll haul away scrap for free is another option.
Nice amount of brass my friend, those lights where awesome I would of kept them but thats me ,did you add the brass what was in your green tub ?god bless 🙏 to you my friend 🙏
The best brass things are urinals, (boys/men's room with 360 degree flusher valve) you have to take them apart because there is a peice of steel in the middle. They are removing them everywhere and they are heavy!
Oh wow! Thank you so much for that information, I greatly appreciate it. Thank you for watching multiple videos and leaving comments. It helps the channel a lot.
Reselling is certainly an option for some people. I live in a small town and those lights were offered for free and no one wanted them so I took them to scrap because I hobby scrap because it’s a lot of fun for me. Thank you for watching!
@@scrapitall200 yeah but you pull brass out of everything - even if its just a couple ounces. I have tossed tons but the chunky stuff is still hanging out. I would be happy with 1/2 that number.
@@nachostuff you’re too busy to do what I do lol. Where I live, there is no garbage pick up so no street scrapping for me, so I have to scrap it all cause I just don’t get much lol
I know they can be worth money but finding a person to actually buy it is the challenge. I live in a small community. The lamp was offered for free and after two weeks of no one taking it, I decided I’d take it and scrap it.
@@scrapitall200 Agree. Ther is a huge difference between what something is worth compaired to what people will actually pay. I am a,ways finding heavy brass lamps, headboards,and other items but even trying to sell them for twice scrap value, does not sell.
I think I actually get more excited when I see that Golden Goodness over the copper haha that was a heck of a pile gotta love it! Stay Blessed and Scrap On! CheeRs James
That shower valve looked new, and was likely worth upwards of 150 used. We can now add Valve Murder to your lengthy list of crimes. You should probably hire an attorney. The class action suit, available to 3.5 billion people without a shower is now an attractive idea for the hungry attorneys.
I knew this was going to happen 😂 My attorney advised me to scrap it since it was defective 😂 Thanks so much for your support, your humor and everything.
@@smitchlego it’s just gold plating, not solid gold. You can melt it but there will be other metals in with it and you’ll never get paid any good value for it. Acids or sell the stuff as is, are the only two options.
At my yard it doesn’t matter if there’s paint on brass or aluminum, it’s considered clean, but I do know some yards will downgrade you for paint on them. Definitely separate the painted ones until you know how your scrap yard classifies them. Thank you for watching.
@@daaam2160 ok I see, thanks. I don’t show it because it’s hard to get the light just right because the brass is so shiny. I’m working on improving my lighting. Thank you for the suggestion, I appreciate it.
@@scrapitall200 okay anyway well I have it's not easy it doesn't cut with what you think it's going to cut with but it does cut with those two-dollar utility scissors they sell at Harbor Freight
