Charles man I always enjoy your vidios I have scraped most of my life but at 77 it's getting tough most of mine is automotive mainly for the weight I drive about 90 miles round trip to the scrap yard.i try to have 4000 lbs to make it worth the trip. My least favorite to do is the alinumn radiators to get the best price you must remove the plastic tanks thanks for your time charles.
Another great vid! Where I am here in Perth, Western Australia, there are so many piles of bulk trash around with a lot of scrap. I assume the juice aint worth the squeeze on shred stuff here.
used to take apart fan motors and all Motors that I could. But then I found out that basically if you take a motor in just as a motor without taking it apart without digging out the copper you still get paid more than shred. Sometimes not much more but more is better than less. But I do dislike taking apart motors, and microwaves. Two of my least favorite. So Motors and microwaves are definitely two of my least favorite. And I am trained in hazardous recycling so I know exactly how to and what not to recycle in a microwave. And my favorite scrap yards here in the Orlando area are CMC, and TMR. They usually pay more for electric motors than anyone else
Belive it or not, that is the same style scale I use to weigh bins at my compound for shipping it out. It is only 1 pound off (light) but it works and makes it easy to watch the scrap yards on there scales. As far as least fun to process I have to say compressor motors/refrigerant motors. It does pay out when you process the for copper but it's the time to do it. When your hustling it's hard to take time to get them done. I actually have went to getting boxes for the smaller ones now and I'm only processing the larger central air or bigger conditioner units for the copper and will sell the smaller units as refrigerate motors, i also purchased a older freon machine to remove it and I resell the freon to hvac company. #happyscrapping
Funny how you find the same Walmart fans and outdoor furniture in Florida as I find in central Ohio. I know I found at least 35 of those grey fans this year.
For me, processing drive thru speaker boxes is my least favorite. Most times they are a juicey piece of extruded aluminum, but they are filled with sound deadening foam and its REALLY glued in there. Very difficult but I can't pass it up. Window acs are bad too. Great video once again sir.
I live in England and we are expecting snow and ice in the next few weeks. It's colder in the morning & night & it gets dark by 6.45pm. People are trying not to put the heating on due to the high cost of gas and electricity bills
My least favorite thing to scrap would be cast aluminum bodied power tools. You cannot fully clean them so I will sell them dirty aluminum and not try and clean anything off of them. I have a couple more annoying things but can't think of them at the moment., LOL
Why throw away the pool pump and save the little fan motor? Also that cast-iron pipe also had lead in the fittings that all you have to do is hit it with a hammer and bust it and get the lead out.
Hello Charles . I'm a new subscriber just wondering how much scrap you find after bad weather comes through? Curious minds. I'm on Oklahoma and. O don't be live they do scrap out heat
I love the sound of your little truck!! At first, when I started watching-almost three years ago (😳!!⏳Where does it go??) I thought it was a bit noisy but it didn’t take much time before I found it soothing. The truck in the background in combo with your vibe is something that I find comforting. I often save these for bedtime!!😂 Sorry!! I always try to re-watch anything I sleep through. But, Wow! I’m getting….OLD!! I try to reply to anyone who comments negatively about the noise. I’m nice about it of course. I just share my two cents. I can’t change anyone’s mind! My former career was in behavioral modification…well, I’ll call it that so as not to sound like some kind of know-it-all! 😂 Love these videos, Charles. Thanks so much!! 🙏🏼✌🏼💕🛻💕
Mr. Scrappity uses a pocket knife occasionally. But I think his subs send him clippers every once in awhile so I can’t say he carries one on him on the regular now so much. ✌🏼
The round pedestal fans contain more plastic then metal ,with the base and the cage and blade all being usually plastic. It's easy to remove and provides a better product for my customer.
