I've got a tote that was donated to me by a friend, inside is a Hodgepodge of couplings and elbows and whatnot
It doesn't seem like they were used, just sat in the tote for a long time
I'm not going to sell them, that's just a headache for me, but should I sort out the ones with green spots as #2 and the rest as BB, or just bring all together to my yard here in Ottawa Ontario?
(Pictures are of 2 different elbows)
Sooo, I’ve been collecting cans for a couple years now. I like to use them for art projects and stuff, but I also found that flattening them helps me with not using too much space to keep the whole cans in bags.
However, I wouldn’t mind the idea of getting rid of some for a bit of extra cash. I learned that if you bring shredded aluminum cans, the scrapyard won’t buy them, but if I bring them flattened, would the center accept the metal?
For that one guy that said I was in the crackhead scrapping business😂
Red if old copper brass, yellow is AC, and the green is just aluminum. Take your guessed now!
Working as a residential electrician building new homes, this is two days worth of stuff I pick up when I have time that’s left over. Is it worth stripping the small stuff down to BB?
Hi,
I have done a rewire and put in a new bathroom, is this scrap worth much in the UK?
It is a cast iron soil stack, bundle different guage old copper wire, mostly T&E and all the copper pipe I've pulled out.
If worth selling, how would you reccomend I strip the wire given I won't be getting any more so don't want to invest too much in equipment.
Thanks for any advice
I have a hose client here in Alberta and picked up all this and plus 2 more loads equaling 1.095 was all prepared and breakage the first 2 pics are the 570$ load took a while to separate it all
I’ve got a little bit of scrap, bits of old engines and various metal bits and bobs, but I have no idea how to go about scrapping stuff…
Can anyone run me through the process of going to a UK scrapyard and what I should expect….
I’m really nervous about making a tit of myself so it would be good to know what to expect.
Apologies if this has been covered.
Always break down hard drives. I bought these for .30¢ a pound and turned around a $138.83 profit in 2.5 hours. $55.53 was my hourly rate. Not as good as Servers or Desktop CD Drives but still very nice. For those that get these often and are able to ship to boardsort.com or similar websites I highly recommend taking off the boards. The last picture is a unique board that was within all the others. I’ve never seen Gold Tab BGA’s on a hard drive board before and I think it’s pretty neat.
Pulled these from the motors I posted earlier. Are the magnets worth anything? Or is there anything good from these electronic components?
Pulling the windings on these isn’t too bad. Maybe 10 minutes each? But is it worth the effort? I’ve confirmed it’s copper, I just don’t know if the motor payout vs the thin copper is more profitable.
Handle is not magnetic. Google says it may be a mix of copper and brass, anyone know for sure?
EDIT: thank you for all of the suggestions. It will be nice to walk into the yard with some idea of what I’ve got… or not waste my time gathering any more
4 standard metal garage door springs. Probably steel. Any scrap value? I live in Central New Jersey. (...almost embarrassed to ask seeing the amount of copper on this site, and no steel. Totally unfamiliar with scrapping). Thx. Appreciate your reply.
The shield makes it very heavy but they only pay me low grade cable prices for it or I could put it in my stripper machine
First time going, saved up from doing installs, I got the dirty copper that has solder fittings or old pipe in a separate 5 gallon bucket, are the vavles worth anything? Also have like 10 fan motors, any estimates lol
I’ve seen these older tvs mentioned in this sub before, but I’m not 100% sure this is the same one you guys meant (Showing my age here) Just wondering if this is worth disassembling and scrapping up, thank you!
Hi! Very old pool pump. I think it’s bronze cast. Do I need to remove the paint? Or take it in as is?
